Trial summary

Colorectal cancers are frequent among cancers of the gastrointestinal system. Whether there are any differences between survival in rectum and colon cancer patients is controversial. This study aimed to compare survival in the surgically treated rectum and colon cancers and determine the factors affecting survival. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluating Factors Affecting Survival in Colon and Rectum Cancer: A Prospective Cohort Study With 161 Patients

Colorectal cancers are frequent among cancers of the gastrointestinal system. Whether there are any differences between survival in rectum and colon cancer patients is controversial. This study aimed to compare survival in the surgically treated rectum and colon cancers and determine the factors affecting survival.

Read the detailed description

Colorectal cancers are frequent in the gastrointestinal system. It is the 4th most common cancer after lung, prostate, and bladder in the male population and it is the 3rd after breast and thyroid cancers in the female population according to World Health Organization. It is considered significant morbidity and mortality cause and is estimated to develop in more than 1.000.000 individuals annually worldwide. Colorectal cancers form 10% of all cancers in the female and male populations. It is the 2nd most common cause of death among cancers in the United States of America.

In studies, it is stated that the risk of developing colorectal cancer in an individual is 5-6%. Also, the risk of death of an individual due to colorectal cancer was determined as 3%. In the last 50 years, the rate of colorectal cancer mortality decreased in the female population while it did not change in the male population. Whether there is a difference in survival time between rectum and colon cancers is controversial.

With the development in neoadjuvant treatment approaches, poor prognosis in past years got better. Recent studies show that the prognosis in rectum cancers is better than in colon. Nevertheless, factors affecting prognosis other than treatment for both colon and rectum cancers are not clarified.

In this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the surgically treated rectum and colon cancer patients' survival and factors affecting survival time.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colon Cancer and Rectum Cancer, run by Umraniye Education and Research Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 May 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Survival (time frame: 5 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 May 2022.
