The Effect of Multimodal Treatment of Rectal Cancer on Circulating Tumor Cells: A Prospective, Observational Study
The prospective study will focus on patients undergoing multimodal treatment for rectal cancer. The main objective of the study will be to monitor changes in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the peripheral blood of patients during multimodal treatment. For each patient enrolled in the study, peripheral blood samples will be …
Preoperative Sarcopenia and Surgical Outcomes in Colorectal Cancer Patients
Colorectal cancer is the third most common malignant neoplasm worldwide and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Muscle mass loss in oncology patients is most often the result of cancer-related malnutrition. Sarcopenia is a progressive and generalized skeletal muscle disorder associated with increased likelihood of adverse outcomes such as …
Video Analysis of Errors and Technical Performance Within Minimally Invasive Surgery Short Title: Video Analysis in Minimally Invasive Surgery (VAMIS)
Despite the high volumes, advanced minimally invasive surgery is non-standardised and variations often occur in surgical technique, performance, delivery, team communication, and surgical approach. Such variations can result in errors and complications that can potentially be avoided. This project aims to analyse surgical phases (stage of the operation), skill and …
Neoadjuvant Cetuximab + Chemotherapy Combined With Short-course Radiotherapy
Prospectively Investigate the effectiveness and safety of neoadjuvant cetuximab + chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6) combined with short-course radiotherapy (25Gy/5Fx) for RAS wild-type locally advanced rectal cancer
Prospective Observational Trial to Evaluate Quality of Life After Neoadjuvant Radiation or Chemoradiation Followed by Surgery in Patients With Rectal Cancer
Observational study to evaluate longitudinal quality of life according to standardized EORTC questionaires as well as functional Outcome, oncological outcome and toxicity in patients treated with neoadjuvant short term radiation or long-term chemoradiation followed by surgery
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.
Circulating Tumour DNA (ctDNA) in Patients With Colorectal Cancer and the Relationship to Imaging Features of Extramural Venous Invasion
This study does not involve randomization or treatment. Eligible patients have colorectal adenocarcinoma with no metastases eligible for curative surgery. A pre operative staging scan must have been completed within 6 weeks prior to surgery. Two x 20ml blood samples will be taken from each patient, one prior to and …
Advanced Pelvic Surgical Oncology Database - Prospective Observational Study
Retrospective and prospective observational study of patients undergoing advanced pelvic oncological resection for maligancy including multi visceral resection, beyond TME resection and sacrectomy/flap reconstruction/urinary reconstruction at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Goal is to study and report outcomes for patients to characterise and understand major complications, natural history of resectional patients and …
Ultrasound Spectroscopy as Early Indicators of Radiation Treatment Response in Prostate, Rectum and Head & Neck Cancers
Our objective in this study is to identify an optimal ultrasound spectroscopy parameter that can be used as an early predictor of pathological complete or partial response in men with prostate cancer and men and women with rectum and head and neck cancers receiving treatment radiotherapy. We have previously demonstrated …
A Study Regarding Tissue Response During and After Treatment for Anal Cancer
The aim of this study is to improve the understanding for the tumour biology in relation to treatment response in patients with anal cancer by examining: The tumour microenvironment The localisation of and cellular interactions between the tumour and immune cells The gene and protein expression by cells present in …
