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 …
In this open-label phase III study, patients with local advanced colon cancer (TanyN+ ,M0, dMMR/MSI-H, at least 10cm from the anus verge)will be scheduled to Group A: receive anti-PD-1 antibody alone (8 cycles, 200mg iv drip Q3W) and Group B (4 or 8 cycles of XELOX: oxaliplatin 130mg/m2 day 1, …
Fecal incontinence is frequent and has a significant impact on the quality of life of individuals. Its therapeutic management is based primarily on transit regulation and rehabilitation and secondarily on neuromodulation of the sacral roots. However, this strategy is insufficient in more than one patient out of three. The patient …
This clinical trial studies disparities involving colorectal cancer prevention and screening in Black and underserved communities in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The Black community is disproportionately impacted by colorectal cancer, with the highest rate of any racial/ethnic group in the United States. There are complex reasons behind these disparities, largely …
The objective of this study is to investigate if low level laser therapy will do more good than harm for patients with severe refractory fecal incontinence. It is a proof of concept study without a placebo arm.
This innovative project aims to investigate structures and morphology of the external anal sphincter (EAS) as well as the impact of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) on the EAS morphology and biochemistry among patients with faecal incontinence (FI). SNM is a well implemented treatment for FI and consist of electrical stimulation of …
The investigators hypothesize that different continence muscles have different fatigue characteristics and fatigue induced by resisted contractions will result in significant increase in contractility of the continence muscles and improvement of fecal incontinence severity.
The combination of preoperative pelvic RT - either long-course chemoradiotherapy (LCCRT) or short-course radiotherapy (SCRT)- followed by surgery has been the standard of care in the curative treatment of locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the rectum for decades. Some patients however achieve a complete clinical response (cCR) to their preoperative treatment …
Previous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of this treatment in certain patients suffering from fecal incontinence, but it is not yet reimbursed in this indication as it is still in the evaluation phase. Indeed, little is known about botulinum toxin mechanisms of action. The aim of this study is to …
Based on the upstream signaling features of BRAFV600E and the bypass feedback mechanisms, considering the pro-apoptotic effects of chemotherapy and the synergistic effects of targeted therapy, previous IMPROVEMENT trial creatively explored a balanced chemotherapy-targeted combination approach (FOLFIRI + Vemurafenib + Cetuximab) in advanced colorectal cancer patients with BRAF V600E mutaiton …
