Total Neoadjuvant Treatment Combined With Adaptive Radiotherapy for Rectal Cancer
Diarrhea was the most frequently reported severe adverse event in the treatment regime of pre-operative sequential short-course radiotherapy followed by chemotherapy (so called total neo-adjuvant treatment). This study therefore investigates the benefit of on-couch adaptation for locally advanced rectal cancer patients undergoing this treatment regime.
Chemoradiation and Consolidation Chemotherapy With or Without Oxaliplatin for Distal Rectal Cancer and Watch and Wait
Background: Neoadjuvant chemoradiation (nCRT) has been considered the preferred initial treatment strategy for distal rectal cancer. Advantages of this approach include improved local control after radical surgery but also the opportunity for organ preserving strategies (Watch and Wait - WW). Consolidation chemotherapy (cCT) regimens using fluoropyrimidine-based with or without oxaliplatin …
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.
Early Ileostomy Closure for Rectal Cancer Patients in North America
Our preliminary work demonstrates that there is buy-in from both patients and surgeons with regards to early ileostomy closure (EIC) for select rectal cancer patients undergoing restorative proctectomy (RP) and diverting loop ileostomy (DLI). The feedback from leaders in Europe further supports the need for a large scale randomized-controlled trial …
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 …
Watchful Waiting for Complete Responders to Therapy in Rectal Cancer
The purpose of this project is to determine if in a selected group of patients, at higher risk of wound dehiscence and other complications, treatment by local excision and management by a "watchful waiting" or an initial "non-operative management" approach, with an offer of radical resection only to those patients …
Neo-adjuvant Pembrolizumab and Radiotherapy in Localised MSS Rectal Cancer
This project investigates the clinical and biological impact of combining immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) with short course radiotherapy (5Gy, five times) in the neo-adjuvant treatment of localised microsatellite stable (MSS) rectal cancer.
Preoperative Short-Course Radiation Therapy With PROtons Compared to Photons In High-Risk RECTal Cancer (PRORECT)
To investigate a potential toxicity benefit of preoperative radiation therapy with protons compared to conventional photon beam radiation therapy in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.
Hyperthermia with Chemoradiotherapy in Rectal Cancer
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of deep regional hyperthermia in the context of radiochemotherapy followed by consolidation chemotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer. Questions it aims to answer are: Can surgery be avoided if the tumor completely regresses? How high is the Local re-growth …
Radiation Therapy With RapidPlan Knowledge-based Planning vs Human-Driven Planning for Treatment of Prostate Cancer
This phase III trial compares the effects of radiation therapy using RapidPlan, trademark, knowledge-based planning to human-driven planning in treating patients with prostate cancer. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Successful delivery of radiation requires planning to develop a …
