To determine the predictive value of "Timed Up & Go" (TUG), a validated assessment tool, on prospective cohort study and to compare these findings ASA classification, an instrument commonly used for quantifying patients' physical status anesthetic risk.In onco-geriatric surgical population it is important identify patients at increased risk adverse post-operative outcome minimize over- under-treatment improve in this population.280 ≥70 years undergoing elective surgery solid tumors were...
Abstract Background Accurate quality of life (QoL) data and functional results after cancer surgery are lacking for older patients. The international, multicenter Geriatric Oncology Surgical Assessment Functional rEcovery Surgery (GOSAFE) Study compares QoL before identifies predictors decline in QoL. Methods GOSAFE prospectively collected major elective on adults (≥70 years). Frailty assessment was performed postoperative outcomes recorded (30, 90, 180 days postoperatively) together with by...
The GOSAFE study evaluates risk factors for failing to achieve good quality of life (QoL) and functional recovery (FR) in older patients undergoing surgery colon rectal cancer.
This study investigated the efficacy of chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by durvalumab as neoadjuvant therapy locally advanced rectal cancer.The PANDORA trial is a prospective, phase II, open-label, single-arm, multicenter aimed at evaluating and safety preoperative treatment with (1500 mg every 4 weeks for three administrations) following long-course radiotherapy (RT) plus concomitant capecitabine (5040 cGy RT in 25-28 fractions over 5 administered 825 mg/m2 twice daily). The primary...
Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is an imaging technique which appeared on the market around year 2000 and proposed for detection of liver metastases in gastrointestinal cancer patients, a setting accurate staging plays significant role choice treatment.A total 109 patients with colorectal (n = 92) or gastric prospectively underwent computed tomography (CT) scan conventional US evaluation followed by real time CEUS. A diagnosis was made CT or, lesions not visible at CT, achieved...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common in world. A significant survival rate achieved if it detected at an early stage. whole blood screening test, without any attempt to isolate fractions, could be important tool improve detection of colorectal cancer. We searched for candidate markers with a novel approach based on Transcriptome Mapper (TRAM), aimed identifying specific RNAs highest differential expression ratio between tissue and normal samples. This permits large-scale...
Medical students represent a primary target for tobacco cessation training. This study assessed the prevalence of medical students' use, attitudes, clinical skills, and tobacco-related curricula in two countries, US Italy, with known baseline disparities hopes identifying potential corrective interventions. From September to December 2013, enrolled at University Bologna Brown were recruited via email answer survey questions assessing attitudes skills related patients' smoking, elements...
Cancer is one of the most common diagnoses in elderly patients. Of all types abdominal cancer, colorectal cancer (CRC) undoubtedly frequent. Median age at diagnosis approximately 70 years old worldwide. Due to multiple comorbidities affecting people, frailty evaluation very important order avoid over- or under-treatment. This pilot study was designed investigate variables capable predicting long-term risk mortality and living situation after surgery for CRC.Patients with older undergoing...
The goal of this study was to develop a strategy for the selective destruction colorectal cancer cells. Towards end, photoimmunoconjugates were prepared between anti-colon monoclonal antibody 17.1A and photosensitizer (PS) chlorine6(ce6). Polylysine linkers bearing several ce6molecules covalently attached in site-specific manner partially reduced IgG molecules, which allowed bear either cationic or anionic charges. conjugates retained immunoreactivity as shown by enzyme-linked immunosorbent...
LBA3513 Background: The combination of capecitabine plus long course radiotherapy (RT) is the standard preoperative therapy in cT3-4 cN+ rectal cancer. pathologic complete remission (pCR) can be considered as surrogate endpoint efficacy treatment terms disease-free survival (DFS). Preclinical data points heavily toward a strong synergy between RT and immune treatments. Methods: This prospective phase II, open label, single arm, multicentre study patient with locally advanced cancer who...
Abstract Aim Analysing the effectiveness of a surgical procedure is mandatory in every modern health‐care system. The aging population stresses need for good standard care. This study tests hypothesis that porthsmouth‐physiologic operative severity score enumeration morbidity and mortality (P‐POSSUM) colorectal‐POSSUM (CR‐POSSUM) would be useful clinical auditing tools colorectal cancer surgery aged patients. Method One hundred seventy‐seven consecutive patients over 70 years age underwent...
Objective Faecal calprotectin (FC) is the most relevant noninvasive biomarker for monitoring inflammatory status, response to treatment and predicting clinical relapse in ulcerative colitis (UC). The aim of this study was evaluate role FC both clinical/endoscopic activity a large UC patient cohort. Patients methods A two-phase prospective carried out. In first phase, relationship between evaluated. second cohort asymptomatic patients with endoscopic mucosal healing followed up using level...
