Adaptive Radiation Boost for Rectal Cancer
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if giving extra adaptive radiation therapy after standard chemoradiation treatment is safe and helpful for people with rectal cancer. The main questions the study aims to answer are: Can this approach help target the most aggressive cancer cells more accurately, …
Hyperthermia With Chemoradiotherapy in Rectal Cancer
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of deep regional hyperthermia in the context of radiochemotherapy followed by consolidation chemotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer. Questions it aims to answer are: Can surgery be avoided if the tumor completely regresses? How high is the Local re-growth …
ADAR1 Expression Level in Rectal Cancer
Total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) is currently the standard treatment for locally/locally advanced rectal cancer due to better response and fewer distant metastases. In TNT, sequential chemotherapy (CT) and chemoradiotherapy (CRT) are planned and depending on the treatment response, either surgery is performed or a watch and wait approach is applied. …
Ultra-fractionated Radiotherapy for Rectal Cancer
The rationale of this clinical trial is to assess the feasibility of selective non-operative management for locally advanced rectal cancer using dose-escalated ultra-fractionated short course radiation therapy interdigitated with chemotherapy. We believe delivering short course radiotherapy over a prolonged interval, at escalated doses and with concurrent chemotherapy may be feasible …
Induction Chemotherapy for Locally Recurrent Rectal Cancer
This is a multicentre, open-label, parallel arms, phase IIII study that randomises patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer in a 1:1 ratio to receive either induction chemotherapy followed by neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and surgery (experimental arm) or neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and surgery alone (control arm)
Efficacy and Safety Comparison of Short-course Radiotherapy Followed by CapeOX Chemotherapy Plus Toripalimab With or Without Concurrent Surufatinib in Neoadjuvant Therapy for Mid-to-low Localized Rectal Cancer of High-risk Criteria
Why is this study conducted? The purpose of this study is to improve the treatment efficacy, particularly the pathological complete response rate, in patients with high-risk/extremely high-risk locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). In recent years, with the combination of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and immunotherapy, some progress has been made in the …
Standard Dose Versus High Dose of Radiotherapy in Rectal Preservation With Chemo-radiotherapy in Rectal Cancer Patients
In recent years, an increasing number of retrospective and prospective observational studies have indicated that a subset of rectal cancer patients may avoid surgery if they can achieve a complete response to chemoradiotherapy. Prospective trials, including the previous Danish Watchful Waiting trials (NCT00952926, NCT02438839) in early rectal cancer have demonstrated …
Trial Evaluating the Tailored Versus the Systematic Use of Defunctioning Stoma After Total Mesorectal Excision for Rectal Cancer (GRECCAR17)
GRECCAR 17 will be the first prospective and randomized trial to assess a tailored policy in the use of defunctioning stoma after TME according to the personalized risk of anastomotic leakage. The tailored use of defunctioning stoma after TME for rectal cancer should improve both the quality of life of …
Multicenter Study on Postoperative Urinary and Sexual Function During Laparoscopic Functional Total Mesorectum Excision
Urinary and sexual dysfunctions are among the most common complications in rectal cancer surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of laparoscopic functional total mesorectum excision (FTME) on urinary and sexual function in male patients with mid-low rectal cancer. This is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter, …
Reasons for Non-reversal of Temporary Stomas After Surgeries of Mid-low Rectal Cancer （NORESTO Study）
The goal of this observational study is to learn about in mid-low rectal patients who received temporary ostomies after surgery of the primary tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are: To explore the proportion of temporary stomas that cannot be reversed after radical surgery for mid-low rectal cancer …
