This project investigates the clinical and biological impact of combining immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) with short course radiotherapy (5Gy, five times) in the neo-adjuvant treatment of localised microsatellite stable (MSS) rectal cancer.
To investigate a potential toxicity benefit of preoperative radiation therapy with protons compared to conventional photon beam radiation therapy in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.
A multicenter single-arm phase 2 study to evaluate safety and efficacy of the total neoadjuvant therapy of short course radiation therapy followed by neoadjuvant oxaliplatin/fluorouracil-based chemotherapy (CAPOX) for cT2 rectal cancer
This is a single-arm, prospective, multicenter study evaluating a novel neoadjuvant treatment strategy for patients with early, mid-low rectal adenocarcinoma that is microsatellite stable (MSS). Instead of irradiating regional lymph nodes, we deliver short-course radiotherapy (25 Gy in 5 fractions) exclusively to the primary tumor ("lymph-node-sparing" approach), immediately followed by …
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of erectile rehabilitation with Sildenafil, in men treated with neoadjuvant proctectomy and radiotherapy for rectal cancer, in preventing long-term erectile dysfunction at 12 months post-operatively.
This is a pilot trial which aims to assess the concept of anti-BRAF neoadjuvant treatment (encorafenib) in combination with cetuximab in patients with colon cancer or rT3/T4 supra-peritoneal upper rectal cancer based on a pre-operative CT-scan. About 10% of patients will have a mutated BRAF V600E tumour and the objective …
Colorectal cancer is the 2nd and 3rd most common cancer in respectively women and men, of which about 40% is located in the rectum. The gold standard treatment for rectal cancer (RC) is a low anterior resection combined with chemoradiotherapy. However, this treatment negatively affects various aspects of bowel function …
The purpose of this post-market clinical follow up study is to assess the efficacy on clinical symptoms of LARS of low volume Transanal Irrigation by MiniGo in conjunction with conservative treatment versus conservative treatment at 3 months.
This study is an interventional open label prospective study that aims to assess both overall and disease-free survival of patients treated with LDLT, partial or whole graft LT from deceased donors for unresectable CRLM. Secondary outcomes are graft survival and donor outcomes in terms of safety and quality of life. …
Patients with histologically proven adenocarcinoma of the rectum will receive pelvic radiotherapy to a dose of 45Gy in 25 fractions with a tumor boost to a dose of 9Gy in 5 fractions (thus total of 54Gy/30Fx to the primary tumor), combined with radio sensitizing chemotherapy. Patients will then be closely …
