The standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer involves chemotherapy and radiation, known as 5FUCMT, (the chemotherapy drugs 5-fluorouracil/capecitabine and radiation therapy) prior to surgery. Although radiation therapy to the pelvis has been a standard and important part of treatment for rectal cancer and has been shown to decrease the risk of the cancer coming back in the same area in the pelvis, some patients experience undesirable side effects from the radiation and there have been important advances in chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation which may be of benefit. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, both good ...

The purpose of this trial is to investigate the effect of nivolumab and ipilimumab when given together with short-course radiation therapy in treating patients with rectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving nivolumab, ipilimumab, and radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells.

The purpose of this study is to create a database of rectal cancer cells that can be studied outside of the patient's body.

Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as modified (m)FOLFOX6 regimen, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells ...

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Chemoradiotherapy (combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy) before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed. Giving chemotherapy after surgery may kill any remaining tumor cells.

KRAS gene mutations are present in approximately 40% of colorectal cancers and are known to predict for a lack of benefit from some anti-cancer medications (known as anti-EGFR antibody therapy) that are used in routine clinical practice. Currently, the only way to know if your tumor has one of these mutations is to take a tissue sample or biopsy of one of your tumors.

Unfortunately biopsies carry with them certain risks, including bleeding, infection and/or pain. This study is being done to see if a blood test can detect the KRAS mutations in the DNA circulating in the blood ...

Age-adjusted colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality has declined over the past two decades for both genders leading to significant increase in the proportion of CRC survivors. Fatigue is one of the most consistently identified problems among CRC survivors, persisting a year or more after diagnosis for some. Physical activity is critical to improve fatigue symptoms among CRC survivors. It has been established in previous studies that CRC survivors who engage in physical exercise report reduced fatigue and better quality of life compared to those who lack physical exercise (Paddle, Au, & Courneya, 2008). However, it can be a challenge to engage ...

Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving durvalumab and tremelimumab with radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with colorectal or non-small cell lung cancer.

Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in both men and women in the United States (1). Colorectal cancer arises from colonic polyps. The major types of polyps associated with colorectal cancer development are adenomatous (tubular which is most common and other types are villous and tubulovillous) and serrated (hyperplastic, sessile or traditional) polyps with varying degrees of dysplasia (2). Hyperplastic polyps are common but they have a low malignancy potential (3). There is evidence that colonic inflammation plays a major role in colon polyp and colorectal cancer development. For example, inflammatory bowel disease is a major ...
