Effectiveness of a Psychosocial Intervention for Colorectal Cancer

ABSTRACT: Studies have reported about one-third to half of advanced cancer patients experience psychological distress yet the mental healthcare needs of these patients are not properly assessed and addressed. Patients with advanced colorectal cancer can face unique challenges that are stoma- or bowel-related in addition to other symptom burden such as pain, fatigue, and existential distress that have deleterious consequences on their psychological and social functioning. This pilot study aims to test an intervention for patients specifically with advanced colorectal cancer that incorporates culturally-appropriate topics. Using a randomized selection design, we will investigate the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and obtain an initial estimate of efficacy of the intervention. This pilot study will yield useful information to inform the preparation of a larger, phase III confirmatory study.

Surgical Prehabilitation of Cancer Patients Undergoing Colorectal Resection.

Project description:Psychological distress is common among adults newly diagnosed with cancer and those awaiting cancer treatment(s). Although preoperative psychological distress has been shown to be associated with poorer physical health and adverse treatments among colorectal cancer survivors, few psychological interventions have been developed to reduce distress, and improve physical health in the preoperative period. Moreover, whether a preoperative psychological intervention, delivered in addition to a multimodal Prehabilitation program can improve psychological and physical health remains unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this pilot cohort study was to examine the impact of a structured psychological intervention, given in addition to standard Prehabilitation, on preoperative psychological health and functional capacity in colorectal cancer patients awaiting surgery.

Screening and treatment of psychological distress in colorectal cancer with metastasized disease: the TES-trial

Project description:Interventions: Targeted selection of patients with psychological distress. Enhanced care by the clinical nurse specialist. Stepped care: The steps include: (i) Watchful waiting. (ii) If psychological distress persists, the guided self-help program. (iii) If psychological distress persists, a problem analysis is performed and an agreement is made with the patient on the next step; treatment consists of problem solving therapy (face-to-face). (iv) If psychological distress persists, psychotherapy, medication or a referral for other services (e.g. social work) is offered. The TES intervention is compared to usual care. Primary outcome(s): Psychological distress: - Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) Study Design: Randomized controlled trial, Single blinded (masking used), Active, Parallel

Changes in Prostate Gene Expression in a Cohort Undergoing an Intensive Nutrition and Lifestyle Intervention

Project description:The GEMINAL Study- Gene Expression Modulation by Intervention with Nutrition and Lifestyle We conducted a pilot study to examine changes in gene expression in men diagnosed with low risk prostate cancer who participated in an intensive nutrition and lifestyle intervention. We profiled gene expression in morphologically normal tissues from prostate biopsies of all 30 participants before and after the intervention. Keywords: Differential gene expression analysis Pre-intervention versus Post-Intervention

Genomic Counter-Stress Changes Induced by Mind-Body Practice

Project description:Mind-body practices that elicit the relaxation response (RR) have been used worldwide for millennia to prevent and treat disease. The RR is believed to be the counterpart to stress response and is characterized by decreased oxygen consumption, increased exhaled nitric oxide, and reduced psychological distress. Individuals experiencing chronic psychological stress have the opposite pattern of physiology and a characteristic transcriptional profile. We hypothesized that consistent, long-term practice of RR techniques results in characteristic changes in gene expression. We tested this hypothesis by assessing the transcriptional profile of whole blood in healthy, long-term practitioners of daily RR practice (group M) in comparison to healthy controls (group N1). The signature obtained has been validated on new subject data. Experiment Overall Design: In the study, the gene expression profiling was performed on individuals with a long-term RR practice (group M; n=19) or those with no prior RR experience; novice (group N1; n=19). Group N1 novices, furthermore, underwent 8-weeks of RR training (Group N2; n=20) for the prospective analysis.As a validation of results , we developed an independent validation sets that includes gene expression profiling on 4 N1, 4 N2 and 6 M subjects.

Pain Coping Skills for Colorectal Cancer Survivors

Project description:Colorectal cancer survivors experience long-term negative physical and psychosocial consequences of their disease. There is a critical need to develop novel behavioral interventions for improving colorectal cancer survivor outcomes. The investigators have developed a pain management intervention for colorectal cancer survivors that focuses on addressing both pain and psychological distress. Colorectal cancer survivors who endorse pain and comorbid psychological distress as a concern during a clinic-based survivorship care consult will be recruited. Participants will be randomized into either: Telephone-Based Coping Skills Training (CST) for pain and comorbid psychological distress or standard care. The CST condition will receive 5 sessions of a cognitive behavior theory-based protocol that teaches coping skills (e.g., relaxation, activity pacing/planning, cognitive restructuring) relevant to managing pain and psychological distress. The standard care control condition will receive resources and referrals related to managing survivorship health.

Expression data from liver tissue from Spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and its minimal congenic strain PD5 on standart labaratory chow and after dexamethasone challenge

Project description:The dissection of genetic components of metabolic syndrome is currently one of the most important research topics. Plzf gene is a promising candidate gene. Previously, we described minimal congenic strain PD5 derived from spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR), containing congenic segment of polydactylous (PD/Cub) origin with a 2964bp intronic deletion within Plzf gene and displaying attenuated features of metabolic syndrome. To unravel the genetic background responsible for the observed of this phenotype in PD5 we compared liver transcriptomes and physiologic parameters between SHR and PD5 strains without intervention and after dexamethasone administration.

Transcription profiling of ovarium cancer samples from patients with tumors of different stages, sensitivity to platinum chemotherapy and with no disease recurrence, recurrence or progression to evaluate models of clinical behaviour

Project description:Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death in gynaecological malignancies in women. However, currently there are no clinical or pathologic parameters available that can reliably predict clinical outcome. In a previously published pilot study we explored the performance of microarrays in predicting clinical behaviour of ovarian tumours. For this purpose we performed microarray analysis on 20 patients and estimated that we could predict disease stage with 100% accuracy and the response to platin-based chemotherapy with 76.92% accuracy using leave-one-out cross validation techniques in combination with Least Squares Support Vector Machines (LS-SVMs). In the current study we prospectively evaluate models, built on the pilot data set, on a set of 49 new patients. Principal component analysis showed that the gene expression data from stage I, platin-sensitive advanced stage and platin-resistant advanced stage tumours in the prospective study did not correspond to their respective classes in the pilot study. Additionally, LS-SVM models built using the data from the pilot study, only misclassified one of four stage I tumours and correctly classified all 45 advanced stage tumours but this model was not able to predict resistance to platin-based chemotherapy. We discuss possible reasons for prospective failure of these models and conclude that existing results based on gene expression patterns of ovarian tumours need to be thoroughly scrutinized before this technology could be considered ready for clinical use.
