Filter by:In this study, we aim to develop and validate an easy-to-use machine learning prediction model to preoperatively identify the lymph node metastasis status for rectal cancer patients by using these clinical data from three hospitals.
Colorectal cancers are frequent among cancers of the gastrointestinal system. Whether there are any differences between survival in rectum and colon cancer patients is controversial. This study aimed to compare survival in the surgically treated rectum and colon cancers and determine the factors affecting survival.
The aim of the present prospective, comparative study was to compare the quality of life (QoL) of patients after colorectal surgery to the QoL of their spouses. The study included patients who underwent curative surgery for colorectal carcinoma (n = 100; abdominoperineal excision [n = 33], low anterior resection [n = 33], left hemicolectomy [n = 34]) and their spouses (n = 100). The patients and spouses completed the Medical Outcome Study 36-item Short Form Survey (SF-36) and the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule II (WHODAS-II) preoperatively and at postoperative months 15 to 18. The QoL of patients and that of their spouses changed following surgery for colorectal cancer. These changes were more significant among male patients' spouses.
Due to colorectal cancer is the fourth most common malignancy in the world. Some patients had present locally advance stage and need to preoperative concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) before radical surgery. But predictor for pathologic complete response (pCR) after preoperative CCRT remain unclear. Objectives: To identify possible factor for predict of pCR of rectal cancer after preoperative CCRT.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of establishing patient-derived organoids from pre-treatment rectal adenocarcinoma biopsies.
Study Investigators are conducting this study to learn how to best implement a new iPad program in clinical practice.
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of a high-intensity aerobic training and resistance training on fatigue in prostate, head and neck and rectum cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. A three-arm randomized controlled trial will be conducted. Patients will be randomised into either a high-intensity aerobic training group or a resistance training group or a control group. Participants in the training groups will exercised for five to eight weeks. Exercise sessions will be take place 3 days per week under the supervision of an experienced therapist. Subjects will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention. The primary outcome will be fatigue measured using the FACIT-fatigue questionnaire. The secondary outcomes will be: functional capacity, quality of life, executive functions, sleep disturbances, somnolence syndrome, insomnia, depression symptoms.
This is a single-center prospective clinical trial to evaluate non-inferiority of indocyanine green guided sentinel lymph node biopsy compared with the gold standard Technecium99 guided sentinel lymph node biopsy in patients with cancers and subjected to surgery. The diagnostic performance and the tolerance of indocyanine green (ICG) to the radio-isotope (Techniciun99) in the detection of sentinel lymph nodes will be assess using an "Optonuclear" probe (EURORAD S.A.) and QUEST camera
This study evaluates the safety and performance of SGM-101, a Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA)-specific chimeric antibody conjugated with a NIR emitting fluorochrome, for the visualization of CEA-expressing cancers during surgery. SGM-101 is injected 2 to 4 days before surgery and visualized using an optimized camera system.
The Engagement of Patients with Advanced Cancer is an intervention that utilizes well-trained lay health coaches to engage patients and their families in goals of care and shared decision-making after a diagnosis of advanced cancer. Although lay health workers have never been tested in this role, we hypothesize that lay health workers can feasibly improve goals of care documentation and help to reduce unwanted healthcare utilization at the end of life for Veterans diagnosed with new advanced stages of cancer and those diagnosed with recurrent disease.
