Filter by:GRECCAR 15 is focused on Locally Recurrent Rectal Cancer (LRRC) for patients with previous pelvic radiotherapy for the primary rectal cancer. This situation leads to a 20% higher risk of non-curative resection for the LRRC management (R1 status) impacting significantly the overall survival. The widespread use of neoadjuvant radiotherapy for primary rectal cancer introduces this new problem: the treatment of LRRC in previously irradiated area. The objective of GRECCAR 15 is to assess the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by pelvic reirradiation versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone on the rate of curative surgery (R0) in previously irradiated patients with LRRC.
This is a single-arm, single centre open-label, phase II interventional clinical trial of combination immunotherapy with Nivolumab and Relatlimab in mCRC.
This is a open-label, single-arm study to investigate the safety and efficacy of total neoadjuvant treatment (TNT) in patients with locally advanced resectable rectal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the treatment of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer for complete response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy without the use of radiation and surgery.
Patients with a primary rectal cancer without detectable distant metastasis who after locoregional therapy only, meaning preoperative radio(chemo)therapy plus surgery have at least a 40% risk of not having a CRM negative resection or a recurrence, local or distant, within three years will be treated with the short course 5 x 5 Gy radiation scheme followed by four cycles of combination chemotherapy (capecitabine and oxaliplatin) and TME surgery
The purpose of this project is to obtain important information about the tumour and surrounding organs during preoperative chemo-radiotherapy for patients with adenocarcinoma of the rectum. The knowledge generated in this project has the potential to make future radiotherapy treatments (RT) of rectal cancer patients more precise, with less side effects. This could lead the way to make chemo-radiotherapy the main treatment modality and spare a large group of patients from the risk of severe complications after surgery. Specifically, we aim to obtain: - A characterization of systematic and random changes in position and shape of tumours and surrounding organs during RT. - A patient-specific pre-treatment characterization of random uncertainties in position and shape of the tumour during radiotherapy. This will be used to create and assess an individual, patient-specific treatment strategy, with the possibility to implement an adaptive RT strategy using the information obtained from the MRI-scans during treatment. - Information about treatment response and local toxicity from morphological and functional data before, during and after CRT.
The aim of this study is to determine whether greater rectal cancer downstaging and regression occurs when surgery is delayed to 12 weeks after completion of radiotherapy/chemotherapy compared to 8 weeks. Hypothesis: Greater down-staging and tumor regression is observed when surgery is delayed to 12 weeks after completion of chemoradiotherapy compared to 8 weeks.
Total mesorectal excision (TME) is the standard of care for rectal cancer, which can be combined with low anterior resection (LAR) in patients with mid-to-low rectal cancer. The narrow pelvic space and difficulties in obtaining adequate exposure make surgeries technically challenging. Four techniques are used to perform the surgery: open laparotomy, laparoscopy, robot-assisted surgery, and transanal surgery. Comparative data for these techniques is required to provide clinical data on the surgical management of rectal cancers by surgery.
This research trial studies the financial burden in patients with stage I-III colon or rectal cancer who are undergoing treatment. Collecting data from patients about their cost and quality of life may help doctors to better understand the impact of cancer treatment on a patient?s employment and finances.
The purpose of this study is to show that the addition of COMPOUND 2055269, an immunotherapeutic drug, to Folfox chemotherapy will improve the pathologic complete response rate in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.
