Filter by:Given the growing focus on preserving organ function and the utilization of neoadjuvant therapy, it is important to investigate and enhance the application of comprehensive neoadjuvant therapy in low rectal cancer. This approach aims to improve disease-free survival (DFS), while minimizing or circumventing the organ dysfunction and subsequent decline in quality of life associated with radical surgery. Consequently, we propose to initiate a multicenter clinical trial to examine the medium- and long-term effectiveness of complete neoadjuvant therapy (comprising either short-course radiotherapy or long-course chemoradiation, followed by consolidation chemotherapy with mFOLFOXIRI) in increasing organ preservation rates in patients with low rectal cancer.
A retrospective cohort study, conducted nationwide（China） and across multiple centers, aimed to compare the surgical quality and short-term outcomes of R-NOSES （robotic natural orifice specimen extraction surgery）with R-TSES （robotic transabdominal specimen extraction surgery） for early-stage rectal cancer.
Background: Anastomotic stricture significantly impacts patients' quality of life and long-term prognosis. However, current clinical practice lacks accurate tools for predicting anastomotic stricture. This study aimed to develop a nomogram to predict anastomotic stricture in patients with rectal cancer who have undergone anterior resection. Methods: 1542 eligible patients will be recruited for the study. Least absolute shrinkage selection operator (Lasso) analysis will be used to preliminarily select predictors. A prediction model will be constructed using multivariate logistic regression and presented as a nomogram. The performance of the nomogram will be evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration diagrams, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Internal validation will be conducted by assessing the model's performance on a validation cohort.
Indication : Adult patients with intermediate low or mid rectal adenocarcinoma to be treated with total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) potentially eligible for rectal preservation. Primary objective is to assess efficacy of contact X-ray brachytherapy (CXB) in addition to TNT in order to increase survival with organ preservation (OP), in selected intermediate risk group of rectal adenocarcinomas (size from 3.5 to 6 cm, cT2N1 or T3N0-1, M0).
Our team has previously published articles providing detailed descriptions of the steps involved in both RS and LS. All surgeries adhered to the total mesorectal excision (TME) principle. In RS, a surgeon employed the Da Vinci Xi surgical system featuring a five-port setup, while five physicians conducted LS with a similarly configured five-port approach. Both the RS and LS doctors are experienced. The surgeries were conducted according to standard procedures, and the RS group utilized totally robotic rectal resection.
Numerous comparison studies on the outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of rectal cancer have been undertaken and reported. But there aren't many studies that compare the safety and effectiveness of the two surgery procedures used to treat people with mid and low rectal cancer who have different body mass indexes (BMIs). This study was done to organize the clinical data we had at our hospital so we could compare the perioperative effectiveness of two minimally invasive approaches for people with different BMIs.
This retrospective study collected participants who underwent robotic or laparoscopic anterior resection for rectal cancer at the North People's Hospital in Jiangsu from January 2019 to January 2023.
Most digestive cancers show (over)expression of the tumour marker carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Therefore, interest in CEA-targeting tracers has increased over the past years. CEA-targeting tracers can be used for preoperative, intra-operative and postoperative imaging purposes. This study focusses on both preoperative and intraoperative multimodal imaging and image-guided surgery in patients with rectal cancer or pancreatic cancer.
The purpose of this prospective comparative cohort study was to assess the effect of protective ileostomy on the outcomes of patients with rectal cancer who underwent low anterior rectal (LAR) resection in patients with a diagnosis of colorectal cancer of both sexes and all ages that required low anterior resection(LAR) attending the Department of General Surgery at Tishreen University Hospital in Lattakia-Syria during the two years (May 2021- May 2023). the main question to answer is does protective ileostomy reduce leakage, SSI rate, and duration of hospitalization in patients with colorectal cancer. . Patients are divided into two groups: group 1: patients who underwent ileostomy (19 patients), and group 2 is the comparative group: patients who didn't (28 patients). Morbidity and mortality were compared between the two groups, to study the outcomes of protective ileostomy
Objective: To investigate gender-based differences in outcomes following robotic surgery for rectal cancer. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 155 patients (82 males, 73 females) who underwent robotic surgery for rectal cancer. Demographic, pre-operative, operative, and post-operative data were collected and analyzed. Pre-operative study: All patients underwent a standardized pre-operative work-up, which included a physical examination, comprehensive colonoscopy with biopsy, rigid rectoscopy, pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, computed tomography (CT) of the thorax and abdomen, and measurement of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels. Tumor staging followed the TNM staging criteria (American Joint Committee on Cancer), with the T and N stages determined by the most advanced findings from any imaging modality Data collected: Retrospective evaluation and comparison of demographic characteristics, pre-operative TNM stage, distance from anal verge, tumor size, tumor grade, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, and body mass index (BMI) were conducted among both patient groups. Peri-operative and post-operative data, including morbidity and mortality, were assessed, alongside parameters such as distal resection margin (DRM), proximal resection margin (PRM), harvested lymph nodes (HLN), and Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC) scores. Diagnosis of anastomotic leakage was confirmed by clinical suspicion (e.g., changes in drainage, fever, abdominal pain) and further validated through contrast enema observed during follow-up computed tomography (CT). Hospital stay and readmission rates were monitored for up to 90 days post-surgery. Post-operative follow-up: Post-operative outcomes encompassed operative duration, estimated blood loss, time to first flatus passage, duration of liquid diet, and length of hospital stay following surgery. Operative duration comprised the time from initial skin incision to closure, including the time needed for robotic surgery docking and undocking. Upon experiencing initial flatulence, patients transitioned to a liquid diet. Hospital stay duration was measured from the time of surgery to discharge. The overall cost of surgery, including surgical procedures, anesthesia, medications, and post-operative care, was considered in the total expenditure analysis.
