Active clinical trials for "Colonic Neoplasms"

This pilot clinical trial studies positron emission tomography (PET)-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and PET-computed tomography (CT) as diagnostic imaging in patients with colon and/or rectal cancer. New diagnostic imaging procedures, such as PET-MRI, may help find and diagnose rectal cancer or recurrence of colorectal cancer

During the last few years, the laparoscopic right colectomy with intracorporeal ileocolic anastomosis (IIA) has been proposed as an alternative to laparoscopic right colectomy with extracorporeal ileocolic anastomosis (EIA) for the treatment of right colon tumors. However, the level of evidence coming from the currently available literature is low, based on the results of a few small and heterogeneous retrospective non-randomized studies. A randomised controlled trial is warranted to challenge these two procedures. The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the outcomes after IIA or EIA after laparoscopic right colectomy for right colon tumors.

The purpose of this study is to compare the postoperative global morbidity between patients who have been operated on for a colon cancer by laparotomy and those operated on by laparoscopy

Randomized, multicenter, phase III trial to compare the short and long outcomes of laparoscopic CME with open CME in treating patients with locally advanced colon cancer.

The investigators aimed to determine whether an interactive, online educational platform could improve procedure show rates and bowel preparation scores in an outpatient population presenting for routine colonoscopy.

The aim of this study is to compare the Surgical outcomes after laparoscopic intracorporeal versus extracorporeal anastomosis for right and left hemicolectomies in management of colonic cancers .

Monocentric pilot prospective randomized study with 3 cohorts: abdominal drainage vs postoperative antibioticoprophylaxis vs none in patients undergoing laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with introcorporeal anastomosis for right colon cancer

Purpose: To assess the impact of taxes, warnings, and a combination of taxes and warnings on US adults' decisions to purchase products that contain red meat in an online grocery store. Procedures (methods): Participants will be recruited from Prime Panels (an online panel research company). Following online consent, participants will be assigned to one of four trial arms: 1) Control (no warning and no tax), 2) Warnings (all products that contain red meat have a health warning and environmental warning), 3) Tax (30% tax on products that contain red meat), and 4) Combined warning and tax (all products that contain red meat will have the two warnings and a 30% tax). Then, participant will enter an online grocery store reflecting their assigned arm. The participant will be instructed to complete a shopping task in the online grocery store. After completing the shopping task, participants will be redirected to an online survey and answer a series of questions about the shopping task, labels (excluding tax and control groups), and taxes (excluding warning and control groups). Questions will also include standard demographic and health related variables.

The objective of this study is to investigate whether the use of Human Peritoneal Membrane (HPM) in a temporary loop ileostomy is beneficial to patients. Benefit will be defined, for purposes of this study, as a decrease in adhesions resulting in decreased operative time during ileostomy closure, with promotion of peritoneal remodeling.

When performing a resection of the right colon due to cancer one aims not only to remove the tumor bearing bowel segment, but also lymph nodes draining the affected area. These lymph nodes are located along the arteries supplying the right colon. Through using a preoperative CT scan which can map these arteries very precisely one can ligate these vessels closer to their origin and thus remove more lymph nodes which may potentially harbor cancer cells. This study aims to compare patients operated more radically through use of preoperative CT which maps the mentioned arteries with patients operated in the standard way.
