Biological Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes Therapy With Immunotherapy for Colon and Rectum Cancer
This Phase I/II study evaluates the safety and efficacy of autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) therapy combined with Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and Aldesleukin (interleukin-2, IL-2) immunotherapy in patients with advanced or metastatic refractory colon and rectal cancer (colorectum). TILs will be harvested from patients' tumors, expanded in vitro, and infused back into …
Rectal Cancer CTC Trial
This prospective, multi-centre, randomised clinical trial aims to compare the effect of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy versus primary surgery on circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with stage II-III rectal cancer without circumferential resection mar-gin involvement. CTCs are considered a promising biomarker for disease dissemination and treatment response. Patients will be randomized …
Determination of Microbiological Factors Associated With Poor Response to Neoadjuvant Treatment in Rectal Cancers
The objective of this project is to determine in a non-invasive manner (fecal samples) the predictive value of the intestinal microbiota and the presence of genotoxin-producing bacteria on the response to neoadjuvant treatment in rectal cancer. This could lead to a better understanding and selection of patients for personalized treatment …
End to End Versus Side to End Anastomosis After Anterior Resection of Cancer Rectum
Comparison between end to end and side to end anastomosis after anterior resection of cancer rectum and compare the outcomes of both surgical techniques. The main outcomes were bowel functional outcomes and QoL. Bowel functional outcomes mainly included three indexes: stool frequency, urgency, incomplete defecation, and incontinence. The secondary outcomes …
Contact Radiotherapy for Rectal Cancer
The aim of the CORRECT phase 2 study is to show non-inferiority of Contact x-ray brachytherapy (CXB) + short-course radiotherapy (SCRT) compared to the experimental arm of the OPERA trial in organ preservation for early and early intermediate rectal cancer (cT1-3abN1).
Organ Preservation Strategy of Total Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy for Low Rectal Carcinoma
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an organ-sparing strategy after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by transanal endoscopic microsurgery （TEM） or endoscopic local resection for early low rectal cancer（cT 1-3N0M0）.Besides, the clinical complete response rate and near-clinical complete response rate, organ preservation rate, local recurrence rate, distant metastasis …
Comparison of Postoperative Anal Function Between Parks and Bacon Techniques in Low Rectal Cancer
The goal of this study is to compare the postoperative anal function of patients with ultra-low rectal cancer after Parks operation (colon anal anastomosis) and Bacon operation (colon anal pull-out anastomosis), which may provide clinical evidence for the improvement of anal function and quality of life. The main questions it …
Magnetomotoric Ultrasound (MMUS) in Rectal Cancer
Magnetomotoric ultrasound, combines conventional ultrasound with a time-varying magnetic field. The aim is to improve diagnosis of mesolectal lymph nodes.
Total Neoadjuvant Therapy in Rectal Cancer
In this phase 2 study, the efficacy of total neoadjuvant therapy in Taiwanese patients with rectal cancer will be investigated. Patients with stage II or III middle/low rectal cancer will be prospective enrolled. The total neoadjuvant therapy with the short-course radiotherapy (5×5 Gy over a maximum of 8 days) followed …
Ultra-fractionated Radiotherapy for Rectal Cancer
The rationale of this clinical trial is to assess the feasibility of selective non-operative management for locally advanced rectal cancer using dose-escalated ultra-fractionated short course radiation therapy interdigitated with chemotherapy. We believe delivering short course radiotherapy over a prolonged interval, at escalated doses and with concurrent chemotherapy may be feasible …
