Lifestyle Intervention Among Participants of the French Colorectal Cancer Screening Program

Colorectal Cancer

The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial to develop and evaluate the impact of promoting advice on diet and lifestyle recommendations for cancer prevention at colorectal cancer screening among individuals who may be at higher risk for colorectal cancer (CRC). The specific objectives of this study are to 1) develop a lifestyle intervention based on evidenced-based diet and lifestyle recommendations (i.e. those proposed by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) and the French National Cancer Institute); 2) evaluate the effect of the intervention on the adherence to the target diet and lifestyle recommendations as well as other subjective health measures, including quality of life; 3) evaluate the effect of the intervention on biological pathways linked to colorectal cancer development including physical fitness, anthropometrics, biomarkers for nutrition, and metabolic health.

Dedicated MR Imaging vs Surgical Staging of Peritoneal Carcinomatosis in Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal CancerPeritoneal Carcinomatosis1 more

MRI is a potentially powerful tool to reliably determine the intra-abdominal tumor load and relations with intra-abdominal organs. In recent years diffusion weighted MRI has proven its value as a highly sensitive technique to detect small malignant disease in a wide variety of cancers [1-3]. However, literature concerning the clinical impact of detecting peritoneal metastases with MRI is very limited. Therefore, there is a need for a large randomized multicenter trial to determine whether dedicated MRI can be used as a selection tool for CRS-HIPEC candidates in daily practice.

The PRIME-CRC Trial to Promote CRC Screening in Rural Communities

Colorectal Cancer

The investigators will expand an existing, patient-centered, health literacy strategy to promote longer-term adherence to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in resource-limited, rural health clinics via colonoscopy or annual fecal immunochemical test (FIT). In the proposed 2-arm study, both PRIME-CRC and enhanced usual care (control) will incorporate health literacy evidence-based practices for delivering CRC patient information and counseling to aid patient decision making for selecting FIT or colonoscopy, including simplified test instructions. In addition, the PRIME-CRC arm will use a "stepped care" approach for reminding patients on proper CRC screening preparation for scheduled colonoscopy or completion of annual FIT. Patients in the PRIME-CRC arm will receive frequent follow-up contact from their health care provider via audio-recorded, automated call or SMS text, based on patient preference.

Researching the Effect of Exercise on Cancer

Breast CancerProstate Cancer10 more

Researchers think that exercise may be able to prevent cancer from coming back by lowering ctDNA levels. The purpose of this study is to explore how aerobic exercise (exercise that stimulates and strengthens the heart and lungs and improves the body's use of oxygen) can reduce the level of ctDNA found in the blood. During the study, the highest level of exercise that is practical, is safe, and has positive effects on the body that may prevent the return of cancer (including a decrease in ctDNA levels) will be found. Each level of exercise tested will be a certain number of minutes each week. Once the best level of exercise is found, it will be tested further in a new group of participants. All participants in this study will have been previously treated for breast, prostate, or colorectal cancer.

Polyprev: Study to Compare Fecal Immunochemical Test With Endoscopic Surveillance After Advanced...

Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs have been implemented to reduce the burden of the disease. When an advanced colonic lesions is detected, it is recommended to perform endoscopic surveillance with different intervals between explorations. Although the reduction in CRC incidence, endoscopic surveillance is producing a considerable increase in the number of colonoscopies. However, participation in CRC screening programs based on the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) could be a non inferior alternative to endoscopic surveillance. Based on this hypothesis, the research group have designed a randomized clinical trial within the population CRC screening programs to compare FIT surveillance to endoscopic surveillance in patients with advanced lesions resected.

Effects of UNICLA-A2 Dairy Products on Patients at High-risk of Colorectal Cancer Development

Colorectal Polyp

Dietary intervention with UNICLA-A2 milk products containing beta casein A2 protein, and higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and selenium may contribute to maintain the intestinal integrity, reduce inflammatory processes, normalize the immune system, protect against oxidative damage and equilibrate the gut microbiota in high-risk colorectal cancer patients who have undergone polypectomy

Computer-aided Detection During Screening Colonoscopy (Experts)

Colorectal NeoplasmsColon Polyp1 more

Evaluation of the colonic mucosa with a high definition colonoscope (EPKi7010 video processor). The endoscopy images will be seen on a 27inch, flat-panel, high-definition LCD monitor (Radiance™ ultraSC-WU27-G1520 model) only by one expert endoscopist, randomly assigned. The number, location, and polyps' features (Paris classification) will be recorded by the operator. If a polyp is detected, the endoscopist will remove the polyp endoscopically with a cold snare. The same patient will be submitted to a second, the same session, computed aided real-time colonoscopy using the DISCOVERY, AI-assisted polyp detector. Colonoscopy will be performed by a same-level-of-expertise operator in comparison to the initial procedure. Any polyp or lesion detected with the AI system will be recorded and endoscopically removed and considered as a missed lesion from standard colonoscopy.

Implementation Research to Increase Colorectal Cancer Screening Rates Among Low Income and Ethnic...

Colorectal Carcinoma

This clinical trial implements research strategies to increase colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates among low income and ethnic minority groups. CRC is the second most common cause of cancer mortality in the United States and disproportionately burdens low income and ethnic minority groups. Fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) is a test to check for blood in the stool. A brush is used to collect water drops from around the surface of a stool while it is still in the toilet bowl. The samples are then sent to a laboratory, where they are checked for a human blood protein. Blood in the stool may be a sign of colorectal cancer. Despite its potential for reducing CRC incidence and mortality, screening remains woefully underutilized. There is an unmet need for practical and effective programs to improve CRC screening rates. By implementing a culturally-tailored screening CRC program that supports providers and clinic staff to encourage eligible patients to complete FIT, researchers hope to reduce cancer disparities among low-income and ethnic groups and increase the CRC screening rate, which will help providers find CRC sooner, when it may be easier to treat.

Fluorescent Probe VGT-309 to ID Cancerous Colorectal Lesions During Augmented Colonoscopy

Colorectal Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of VGT-309 for the visualization of colorectal tumors in real-time using near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence endoscopy. In addition, signatures of 50+ biomarkers will be evaluated in biopsies using CODEX multi-plexing.

A Cross-sectional Partnership to Improve Prevention

Colorectal CancerPrevention

This study is a non-randomized, 2-arm clinical trial comparing the effectiveness of two strategies for distributing FIT (fecal immunochemical test) kits in a community-based colorectal cancer screening program targeting African Americans (AAs). The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does the on-site distribution of FIT kits result in higher return rates compared to direct mailing? Which distribution strategy (onsite vs. direct mailing) is a more cost-effective approach for increasing colorectal cancer screening rates among underserved populations? Participants in the study will be African Americans who are eligible for colorectal cancer screening. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups: the on-site distribution group or the direct mailing group. In the on-site distribution group, participants will be given FIT kits at a designated Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) service location. In the direct mailing group, participants will receive the FIT kits through the mail using the DMV database.
