NCT04733794
This study will facilitate a better understanding of the overall experience of our rectal cancer survivors after Low Anterior Resection for rectal cancer. Studies have demonstrated that the development of bowel and genitourinary dysfunction after this procedure is very distressing to patients and can have a significant impact on overall quality of life. By providing interventions that can be performed at home, investigator may alleviate these symptoms in hopes of improving the experience of patients undergoing Low Anterior Resection. By acknowledging these potentially debilitating symptoms in a systematic way, the investigator hopes to reinforce the importance of symptom management in the survivorship phase after treatment has been completed and ultimately facilitate an individual's return to routine activities.
NCT04027790
The objective of this Clinical Sample Collection Study is to develop a biobank of appropriately collected plasma samples from colorectal cancer patients (i.e. AJCC/UICC stages 0, I, II, III) prior to therapeutic intervention, and from people reporting for colorectal cancer screening by colonoscopy, prior to bowel preparation.
NCT00023868
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan, fluorouracil, and leucovorin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping the cells from dividing. Chemoembolization kills tumor cells by blocking the blood flow to the tumor and keeping chemotherapy drugs near the tumor. It is not yet known if chemoembolization is more effective than standard chemotherapy in treating metastatic cancer. PURPOSE: This phase I trial and randomized phase III trial is studying the effectiveness of chemoembolization in treating patients who have colorectal cancer metastatic to the liver.
