About this study

Official title: Investigating the Origins of Pelvic Recurrence in Colorectal Cancer

All patients with recurrent colorectal cancer in the pelvis are eligible. The original primary tumour staging scans and resected surgical specimen needs to be available. Patients' recurrence will be staged using our proposed MRI classification. We will be assessing the original primary staging scans and histopathology to learn about risk factors for recurrence. We will record treatment for the recurrence, and patients will be followed up for three years.

Read the detailed description

A prospective and retrospective cohort study to improve surgical and treatment planning using an imaging assessment proforma of advanced and recurrent colorectal cancers. This involves the implementation of imaging assessment proformas describing anatomic pelvic compartments and aetiology of disease recurrence for treatment planning.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • New Radiological Staging Classification system for patients with advanced and recurrent colorectal cancer undergoing pelvic exenterative surgeryProcedure or surgery

    Currently there are no validated criteria or guidelines for judging whether advanced primary or recurrent colorectal cancer can be successfully removed and for selecting which patients should undergo this form of more radical surgery as is exenterative surgery. We are proposing that by validating the detailed evaluation of imaging of the tumour distribution within the pelvis using a new radiological staging classification, this will enable clear selection criteria to be established and will improve surgical planning.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To change R0 resection rates for locally recurrent rectal cancers with the use of the proposed staging system.

    An increase of 20% in R0 resection (from 55% to 75%) for locally recurrent rectal cancers with the use of the proposed staging system

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. To compare baseline prognostic features against type of recurrence

    Correlation of baseline and post treatment prognostic factors on imaging and pathology against type of recurrence.

    Measured: 3 and 5 years

  2. To compare the MRI type of recurrence against clinical outcomes

    Proportion of patients with survival >12mths according to type of recurrence as described on MRI

    Measured: 1, 3 and 5 years

  3. To compare the MRI compartment(s) distribution of recurrence against clinical outcomes

    Proportion of patients with survival >12mths according to compartment(s) of recurrence as described on MRI

    Measured: 1, 3 and 5 years

  4. To investigate the effect of surgical and non-surgical treatments for recurrence on Quality of Life

    Quality of life assessed using EORTC QLQ-C30

    Measured: 1, 2, 3 and 5 years

  5. To compare radiology and histopathology compartments in patients undergoing beyond TME surgery for recurrence

    The number of compartments predicted as involved on MRI against the number of compartments reported on the corresponding pathology specimens

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  6. To measure radiology inter-observer agreement for types of recurrence classification

    Kappa agreement between paired radiologists for type of recurrence

    Measured: 5 years

  7. To investigate health economic costs of patients with pelvic recurrence against type

    Healthcare costs using NHS Reference Costs combined with health resource utilization and QoL data

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  8. To map original radiotherapy volumes (including integrated boosts) against types of recurrence

    Correlation of dose, type and distribution of radiotherapy against anatomic sites and aetiology of recurrence as seen on MRI

    Measured: Up to 2 years
