Colorectal cancer is a malignant tumor ranking among the top four in incidence and the top three in causes of death globally . Chemotherapy combined with anti-EGFR or anti-VEGF monoclonal antibodies is currently the standard first-line treatment for advanced pMMR colorectal cancer. The inclusion of anti-EGFR or anti-VEGF targeted therapies …
Hemorrhoidectomy is an effective surgical treatment for advanced hemorrhoidal disease but is often associated with significant postoperative pain, which may delay recovery. One of the main contributors to pain after hemorrhoidectomy is spasm and increased tone of the internal anal sphincter. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluates whether preoperative …
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths globally, with increasing incidence rates. While predominantly affecting older adults, CRC cases among individuals under 50 (early-onset CRC, or EoCRC) are rising. This age group rarely undergoes routine screening, resulting in delayed diagnoses and more advanced disease at …
Each colorectal anastomosis is routinely evaluated intraoperatively by sigmoidoscopy and, in the presence of signs of bleeding, also postoperatively (persistent rectal bleeding within 24 hours after surgery).
To learn about the effects of the drugs regorafenib and lorigerlimab on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients with CRC and who have radiographic occult minimal residual disease (MRD) after completing standard-of-care therapy
This is a single-arm, multicenter, phase II clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant encorafenib plus cetuximab N01 and mFOLFOX6 in patients with locally advanced BRAF V600E-mutated colorectal cancer, with or without resectable metastases. Eligible patients will receive 8 weeks of neoadjuvant treatment with encorafenib, cetuximab N01, and …
The purpose of this study is to find out how cancer treatments (chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy) affect reproductive and sexual health in people with early onset colorectal cancer. The study researchers will observe and track changes in hormone levels and in sexual and reproductive health in people with early onset …
Patients' selection thorough the identification of predictive factors still represent a challenge in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Cetuximab (Erbitux®), a chimeric monoclonal antibody binding to the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), belongs to the Immunoglobulins (Ig) grade 1 subclass able to elicit both in vitro and in vivo the Antibody-Dependent …
The goal of this clinical trial\] is to compare in resectable stage T3-4N2 colorectal cancer. The main question it aims to answer is: whether the use of targeted therapy in combination with adjuvant chemotherapy is associated with improved disease-free survival (DFS) compared to adjuvant chemotherapy alone.
Neoadjuvant radiotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of locally advanced colorectal cancer. Although radiation therapy is extremely important in reducing the tumor mass, downstaging, and therefore providing conditions for curative surgery, neoadjuvant therapy can increase the risk of perioperative complications, which can lead to slower patient recovery, greater …
