Selection of Surgical Technique in Rectal Cancer
Currently, there is no prediction scale available to identify patients with rectal neoplasms as technically complex in the middle and lower thirds; that is, those who are at high risk of affected circumferential margins and low quality of the mesorectum. The application of a predictive model that allows preoperative identification …
Study for Wait and Watch Suitable in Rectal Cancer
One of the standard treatment options offered to patients of locally advanced rectal cancer is neoadjuvant (treatment given before surgery) radiotherapy & chemotherapy followed by surgery. In patients whose tumour has completely reduced after neoadjuvant treatment, the wait and watch strategy is also an option. This is another standard treatment …
Patient Reported Outcomes Following Cancer of the Rectum
The surgical management of rectal cancer includes a Total Mesorectal Excison (TME); depending on the height of the tumor, the problem of preservation of the anal sphincter arises, being able to perform a low anterior resection, an ultra-low anterior resection (RAUB) or an intersphincteric dissection. In some cases invading the …
Comprehensive Analysis of Gut Microbiota Signatures in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common and deadly cancers worldwide. About 1 in 4 people with CRC already have cancer spread (metastasis) when first diagnosed, and about half develop spread during their illness. Recent research shows that bacteria living in the gut and even within tumors might …
Study of Daily Step Count and Treatment Response in Rectal Cancer (STEP-R)
This study aims to examine the impact of daily physical activity, specifically step count, on treatment outcomes and side effects in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer receiving total neoadjuvant therapy (chemotherapy and radiotherapy before surgery). Using Huawei Watch Fit 2 smartwatches, we will track participants' daily step counts, heart …
Reconstruction After Abdominoperineal Resection With Robot-assisted Harvest of VRAM Flap
Non-randomized study of robot-assisted perineal reconstruction with rectus abdominis muscle flap in patients operated with abdominoperineal resection for irradiated locally advanced rectal or anal cancer. Operative time, complications, wound healing, pre- and postoperatively abdominal wall strength and patient related outcomes including sexual health will be registered.
Exosomes in Rectal Cancer
The primary aims of this study is to characterize exosomal biomarker levels in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy. Compare rates of exosomal expression before during and after chemoradiation therapy with pathologic response rates at the time of APR or LAR. The researchers will also examine …
Prognostic Factors Affecting Recurrence and Disease-Free Survival After Surgical Resection for Cancer Rectum
Tumor recurrence after curative surgical resection for rectal cancer is a serious complication that greatly affects the overall morbidity and the outcome. This study aims to identify the different prognostic factors affecting recurrence and disease-free survival after surgery.
Lateral Nodal Recurrence in Rectal Cancer
Local recurrence rates in rectal cancer have reduced dramatically since the introduction of the total mesorectal excision (TME) technique and neoadjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy (C))RT) to overall rates of 5-year local recurrence to 5-10%. However, distal rectal cancers have a tendency to spread to lateral lymph nodes and it was recently shown …
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. …
