Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

This study learns if depression, anxiety, and catastrophizing (thought patterns that prompt people to expect the worst) are associated with chronic pain after surgery among patients who are scheduled to have cytoreductive surgery with intraoperative hyperthermic chemotherapy. Information from this study may improve the understanding of persistent and chronic postsurgical pain integrating multiple layers of biological and behavioral sciences.

The purpose of this study is to provide educational materials and information regarding colorectal cancer (CRC), CRC screenings, and United States Preventive Services Task Force's (USPSTF) screening recommendations. USPSTF recommends screening for colorectal cancer starting at age 45 years and continuing until age 75 years.

The overarching aim is to study the coproduction of personalised care in a digital age by seeking to improve the experience of care and personalised care and support planning for people who live with and beyond colorectal cancer. This study will assess digital health contributions to personalised care and explore how to improve the quality of collaborative digital care planning in cancer services. The electronic holistic needs assessment (eHNA) developed by Macmillan Cancer Support (macmillan.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/innovation-in-cancer-care/holistic-needs-assessment/sign-up-to-ehna) will be used as a case study to help advance this aspect of healthcare improvement studies. The primary objective is to gain a better understanding of how personalised care and support planning in the form of the eHNA and consultation works (or not) from the perspectives of people who are living with and beyond colorectal cancer, and clinicians. The secondary objectives are to: i. identify what good practice looks like for digital personalised care and support planning in a specific tumour group (colorectal) and at a point in the cancer pathway (within 31 days of diagnosis) ii. explore if the ARC framework can be used to inform personalised cancer care and support planning The research will review current practice and focus on identifying what good looks like for digital cancer care planning. It will go on to explore how what we know about LWBC can be used to inform the co-design of digital care planning that better supports personalised long-term cancer care. From the outset, this early work will help to inform future issues around generalisability and scaling-up.

In Pakistan, due to the lack of a National based cancer registry exact number of CRC cases is unknown. However, minimal data that is present in literature shows an increase in CRC cases with a concerning increase in incidence in younger age groups11. This makes it pertinent to understand current pattern of CRC and its risk factors from a local perspective. This will direct future strategies in an attempt to reduce the incidence and mortality associated with CRC in our general population.

This study will evaluate longitudinal performance of Epi proColon with respect to test positivity, longitudinal adherence to Epi proColon screening, adherence to follow-up colonoscopy and diagnostic yield, as well as assay failure rates.

By obtaining clinical specimens from participants with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), colorectal cancer (CRC), high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), and other select tumor types to establish and profile as freshly implanted tumors in mice, the aim of this study is to identify agents with predicted activity in the host patient while also potentially providing them with personalized cancer treatment options

The GEOLynch cohort study has been established to investigate the influence of genetic, environmental and other factors on tumour risk in persons with Lynch syndrome.

ColoCare is an international prospective cohort study of stage I-IV colorectal cancer patients (ICD-10 C18-C20).

The purposes of this study are to collect and store samples including blood, normal and tumor tissue from patients with colorectal cancer or gastric cancer, to collect and store samples including blood and/or normal gastrointestinal tissue (if available) from patients with non-malignant disease (including, but not limited to, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), gastric ulcer, hemorrhoids or hernia), and to create a database for the collected samples and allow access to relevant clinical information for current and future protocols.

The study is being conducted to determine the prevalence and risk factors for germline cancer susceptibility genetic mutations among patients with advanced colorectal polyps.
