Monitoring Treatment Response With On-board DWI During Neo-adjuvant Chemo-radiation for Rectal Cancer Using Magnetic Resonance-guided-radiotherapy Systems
feasibility of using a diffusion sequence of a MRgRT system as an early marker of treatment response during nRCT of rectal adenocarcinoma.
Contrast-Enhanced Photon-Counting Detector CT (PCD-CT) for the Local Staging of Rectal Cancer
This study evaluates whether images taken using a photon counting detector CT scanner (PCD-CT) can determine the growth of rectal cancer as well as, or better than, MRI for the management of patients with rectal cancer.
Biopsy After Radioembolization to Identify Changes in Tumor Cells From the Radiation
The purpose of this study is to study the way radioembolization works by collecting biopsy samples of participants' tumors after the procedure. This research may improve the way that radioembolization is performed, which could help people whose cancer has spread to the liver. The research may also provide information about …
Confronting Cancer as a Community
This study aims to better understand the cause of colorectal cancer and how to find the best treatment for Hispanic patients with colorectal cancer. The genetic information in the blood and tissues may explain why patients who have the same type of cancer and receive the same treatment do not …
Role of Diet on the Microbiome of the Digestive System
This study is to learn more about how diet affects the microbiome (bacteria and microorganisms) of the digestive system. Researchers want to learn if this, in turn, has an effect on if and how people then develop colorectal cancer.
Asian Watch-and-Wait Database (AWWD)
The standard treatment approach of localized rectal adenocarcinoma involves neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy followed by assessment for surgery and optional adjuvant chemotherapy. However, such patients who achieve complete of near complete clinical response after neoadjuvant therapy are increasingly being managed with the 'Watch-and-Wait strategy' in the recent years. Although safety …
Clinicopathological Value of p16 Expression in Colorectal Carcinoma
Evaluation of the immunohistochemical expression of p16 in colorectal carcinoma and correlate its expression to different clinical and pathological parameters as patients' ages, sexes, tumor location, histopathological phenotype, status of nodal involvement, perineural and lymphovascular invasion.
Sacral Neuromodulation and Faecal Incontinence and Its Unknown Effect on the External Anal Sphincter
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 Utility and Feasibility of Mt-sDNA as a Surveillance Procedure in Colorectal Cancer Survivors
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether testing of stool for a panel of markers will enable us to detect polyps and cancer compared to standard testing.
The Role of the Tumor Molecular Profile (CMS), UGT1A1 Genotype and Beta-glucuronidase Activity of the Intestinal Microbiota for Treatment Efficiency, Toxicity, Survival and Quality of Life in Patients With Metastatic or Unresectable Colorectal Cancer During Irinotecan-based Systemic Treatment
Irinotecan-based systemic therapy is a treatment option for metastatic or unresectable colorectal cancer. However, this therapy has two major disadvantages, namely, an unpredictable response to the treatment and severe side effects, for instance diarrhea or a low white blood cell count (neutropenia). Therefore, the OPTIMA study was developed to find …
