Filter by:Investigator retrospective collect cases during 2010-2021 diagnosed as rectal adenocarcinoma with high quality CT images. Local advanced rectal cancer cases were labeled as "disease". Nor were defined " normal". Using artificial intelligence CNN on jupyter notebook with open phyton code to train and develop models capable to recognizing local advanced rectal cancer. Modify the phyton code for better predict rate and help physician to quickly evaluate disease severity for fresh rectal cancer cases.
The purpose of this study is to investigate dostarlimab monotherapy in participants with locally advanced Mismatch-repair deficient (dMMR)/Microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) rectal cancer who have received no prior treatment. Participants who achieve complete clinical response (cCR) following dostarlimab treatment will undergo non-operative management (NOM), including close surveillance for recurrent disease. The goal of the study is to determine if Dostarlimab therapy alone is an effective treatment that can allow participants to avoid chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.
This phase II trial studies how well time-restricted eating works in reducing side effects of radiation or chemoradiation side effects when compared to nutritional counseling among patients with prostate, cervical, and rectal cancers. Time-restricted eating, also called short term fasting or intermittent fasting, is an eating plan that alternates between not eating food (fasting) and non-fasting periods. Nutritional counseling involves being asked to follow a healthy, balanced diet that includes instructions on what kinds of food are better tolerated during radiation and chemoradiation therapy. This trial may help researchers determine if certain diets may improve the anti-cancer effects of radiation therapy and reduce the side-effects of this treatment. If successful, these diets may be integrated into the future treatment of prostate, cervical, and rectal cancers.
The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), alone or in combination with other cancer treatments is increasing dramatically with immune-related adverse events (irAEs) common (90%) during ICI treatment. Most irAEs are symptomatic and symptom self-management with timely reporting of moderate or severe symptoms to health care providers (HCPs) may reduce irAE severity by early recognition and management, resulting in fewer treatment interruptions and unscheduled health services.
The objective of this study is to compare the postoperative analgesic effect of bupivacaine injection via ultrasound-guided erector spinae block versus transmuscular quadratus lumborum block in patients undergoing abdominal cancer surgery
This is a pilot trial which aims to assess the concept of anti-BRAF neoadjuvant treatment (encorafenib) in combination with cetuximab in patients with colon cancer or rT3/T4 supra-peritoneal upper rectal cancer based on a pre-operative CT-scan. About 10% of patients will have a mutated BRAF V600E tumour and the objective is to include 30 patients with this mutation. If the tumour is not confirmed as a carrier of the BRAF V600E mutation or has an RAS mutation according to centralised assessment, treatment will be discontinued in this patient and cancer surgery will be organised as soon as possible. The patient will be excluded from the statistical analysis and will be replaced by a new patient in order to obtain 30 patients with confirmed BRAF V600E mutation and RAS wild type . It should be noted that less than a 3% discrepancy between the numbers of local laboratory results and central analysis results, has been reported in over 600 BRAF V600E mutated colon cancers in the BEACON CRC study. Based on these figures, there should be 0 or 1 patient with discrepant results in the study presented here. Furthermore, in the hypothetical case of a patient who is an early permanent discontinuation of the study prior to surgery, this patient will be replaced in order to obtain a total of 30 patients who underwent surgery after neoadjuvant treatment.
Retrospective and prospective observational study of patients undergoing advanced pelvic oncological resection for maligancy including multi visceral resection, beyond TME resection and sacrectomy/flap reconstruction/urinary reconstruction at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Goal is to study and report outcomes for patients to characterise and understand major complications, natural history of resectional patients and identify areas for future interventional study.
Non-randomized study of robot-assisted perineal reconstruction with rectus abdominis muscle flap in patients operated with abdominoperineal resection for irradiated locally advanced rectal or anal cancer. Operative time, complications, wound healing, pre- and postoperatively abdominal wall strength and patient related outcomes including sexual health will be registered.
This project first retrospectively analyzes the intestinal dose indicators related to the concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy of rectal cancer and gastrointestinal toxicity, and the pelvic dose indicators related to hematological toxicity, and then prospectively conducts radiotherapy based on the dose indicators most closely related to toxicity. The dose is limited when the plan is made to reduce the gastrointestinal and hematological toxicity of rectal cancer with concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Approx. 80% of patients with prostate and rectal cancer who receive radiation therapy (RT) experience acute radiation-induced diarrhea (RID). RID has major impact on patients' quality of life, can lead to pause or early termination of RT and chronic diarrhea. RID is poorly described with few details of type and severity of RID in clinical practice and in the literature. We are conducting an observational study in patients in patients who receive curative EBRT radiation for prostate and rectal cancer to uncover the frequency and classifications of RID.
