Active clinical trials for "Colorectal Neoplasms"

The purpose of this randomized study is to assess the efficacy of a mobile application for the promotion of healthy lifestyle habits (diet and exercise) in colorectal cancer survivors (CCR).

The goal of this multicenter prospective study is to validate, and ultimately translate in routine clinical practice, the use of plasma analysis of ccfDNA for the determination of KRAS mutation status in mCRC patients.

The relative risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) is increased in first-degree relatives of patients with CRC or advanced adenoma. In the high-risk CCR population defined by a family history at the first stage of CRC or advanced adenoma before age 60, total colonoscopy is the recommended screening test. In France, the rate of screening colonoscopy in this population at high risk of CRC is insufficient, which limits the effectiveness of this targeted screening. The main reason for this low participation rate is that most patients undergoing RCC or advanced adenoma are unaware of the family implications of their diagnosis and therefore reluctant to disseminate this information to their patients Related matters. The need for a better perception of the personal risk of CRC in first-degree relatives of patients with CRC or advanced adenoma, with the expected coronary adherence to increasing screening, requires a good understanding of risk through Clear, adapted and comprehensible information that can be relayed personally by the case-index. The objective of this project is to develop a personalized prevention and screening program for the JRC in order to meet the needs of the relatives of the sick. The means of intervention that will be implemented respond to the need to better take into account the level of CRC risk in a family-based CRC screening and prevention approach adapted to a high-risk CRC group characterized by Family history at the first stage of CRC or advanced adenoma and, consequently, to improve the information of the subjects concerned by screening and prevention of CRC. The aim of the case-index education is to induce its intervention with its relatives to promote CCR screening. The use of the index case, as a means of providing information to relatives, implies an educational and psychological approach, based on evidence, but adapted and personalized.

RATIONALE: Computed tomographic colonography (CTC) has proven to be accurate in detecting colorectal neoplasms and may be a primary test in colorectal cancer screening. PURPOSE: This clinical trial will compare participation rate, diagnostic yield and costs of computed tomographic colonography, faecal occult blood test (FOBT) and colonoscopy (CO) as a primary screening test in a population-based programme.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the adherence to screening in first grade relatives of patients with CCR is higher than optical colonoscopy.

Variations in participation to the colorectal cancer screening seems to reveal social and geographical inequalities. Our study will investigate whether patient navigation could increase the participation to the colorectal cancer screening and in the same time, reduce the social inequalities.

RATIONALE: Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming, growing, or coming back. The use of nitric oxide-releasing acetylsalicyclic acid may prevent colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of nitric oxide-releasing acetylsalicyclic acid in preventing colorectal cancer in patients at high risk of colorectal cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a newly developed educational software program is effective in increasing patients' confidence in their ability to undergo colon cancer screening. If the software is effective in this regard, the study will also determine if increased confidence to undergo screening leads to more people being screened and to people feeling as though their decision about screening was informed.

RATIONALE: New diagnostic procedures such as computed tomographic colonography may provide a less invasive method of identifying patients who have colorectal neoplasia. PURPOSE: Diagnostic study to compare the effectiveness of computerized tomographic colonography with that of standard diagnostic procedures in detecting colorectal neoplasia.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Randomized phase I trial to compare the effectiveness of different doses of SCH 66336 before surgery in treating patients who have colorectal cancer that has metastasized to the liver.
