COLO-RECTAL CANCER

This study looked at whether taking vitamin D supplements can improve how well chemotherapy works for people with stage II or III colorectal cancer. Researchers measured markers of cell death and inflammation in 44 patients before and after 6 months of treatment. The goal was to …

This study tested a new treatment for people with advanced gastrointestinal cancers that had spread and stopped responding to standard therapies. Doctors took immune cells from each patient's tumor, used CRISPR gene editing to remove a gene called CISH that slows down the immune …

This study tested a smartphone app that uses games and rewards to help people make informed choices about colorectal cancer screening. 248 adults in Italy used the app, which either had interactive features or just static information. The goal was to see if the fun app improved k…

This study looked at 100 colorectal cancer patients who had already received immunotherapy. Researchers measured a protein called PHGDH in their tumor samples to see if it was linked to how well the treatment worked or how long patients lived. The goal is to find a way to predict…

This study looked at 227 people with colorectal cancer that had spread to the lining of the belly. Researchers wanted to see if waiting longer between chemotherapy and surgery hurt chances of survival. The goal is to find the best timing for treatment to help patients live longer…

This study looked at whether using a balloon-assisted endoscope (G-Eye) together with artificial intelligence (CAD-Eye) finds more polyps than a standard colonoscopy with AI alone. It included 341 people aged 50-74 who had a positive stool test for colorectal cancer screening. Th…

This study looked at whether starting a colonoscopy with the patient lying on their back (supine) or on their left side (left-lateral) makes a difference. 198 adults having a colonoscopy were randomly assigned to one of the two positions. Researchers measured how long it took to …

This study reviewed medical records of 255 adults who had colorectal polyps removed with a snare during a colonoscopy. The goal was to find out which factors, like how the polyp was removed or its tissue type, are linked to the polyp coming back. Researchers also checked for any …

This study looked at 143 people in China who needed a second surgery after rectal cancer treatment because of a leak or the cancer coming back. Researchers wanted to find out what factors help the repeat surgery succeed and whether patients can eventually poop normally again. The…

This study aimed to understand if offering a simple blood test for colorectal cancer screening would encourage more people to get screened. Researchers surveyed 297 adults aged 45-75 who had previously avoided standard screening methods like colonoscopy or stool tests. The goal w…

This study tested a new blood test that looks for tiny bits of cancer DNA left behind after surgery in people with stage II or III colorectal cancer. The goal was to see if the test could find patients at high risk of the cancer coming back, so they could get the right follow-up …
