Filter by:People who are diagnosed with cancer of the colon/rectum/appendix/ovaries that spreads into the lining of the tummy and some ovarian cancers or people with pseudomyxoma peritonei can often undergo intensive treatment including major surgery where chemotherapy is given whilst the person is having surgery - also known by doctors as surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Fitness for this surgery can improve if people undertake a prehabilitation programme at the time they get their diagnosis. To date, little research has focused on how exercise and nutrition support before surgery can help these patients during recovery. The aim of this study is to explore the use of exercise and nutritional support pre-treatment to enhance physical and psychological outcomes for patients.
Data from a prior phase II study of single agent cabozantinib in metastatic, refractory colorectal cancer (NCT03542877) combined with the compelling preclinical data in colorectal mouse models utilizing cabozantinib combined with nivolumab have led to this concept for a clinical trial to combine cabozantinib and nivolumab in patients with metastatic MSS CRC in the third line setting and beyond.
The laparoscopic approach for total mesorectal excision (L-TME) results improved short-term outcomes. However this approach has technical limitations when the pelvis is narrow and deep. Indeed there is a limited mobility of straight laparoscopic instruments and associated loss of dexterity, unstable camera view and compromised ergonomics for the surgeon. Robotic technology was developed to reduce these limitations and offers the advantages of intuitive manipulation of laparoscopic instruments with wrist articulation, a 3-dimensional field of view, a stable camera platform with zoom magnification, dexterity enhancement and an ergonomic operating environment. A major advantage of the robotic approach is the surgeon's simultaneous control of the camera and of the two or three additional instruments. This advantage facilitates traction and counter-traction. The technological advantages of robotic surgery should also allow a finer dissection in a narrow pelvic cavity.
This study compares a synthetic mesh and biological implant in prevention of incisional hernia after loop-ileostomy closure.
Project HERO is a 12-week study of the efficacy of Body Mind Training (BMT) for reducing fatigue in male cancer survivors. This 3-arm randomized clinical trial will examine inflammatory biology and selected gene-expression pathways that are hypothesized to contribute to the intervention's effect.
We collect prospectively and retrospectively, patients' demographic, pathological, surgical, therapeutic and prognosis informations in a database. After patient's consent to collect tumoural samples of their colorectal cancer after resection. We will then be able to evaluate the impact of HSP110, a chaperon protein, on their prognosis. Other proteins (to be determined) will also be study, after.
