About this study

All early colorectal cancers (T1-T2) treated in the Region Västra Götaland from 2007-2020 will be evaluated. To establish the extent to which early colorectal cancers have been treated with local excision? How have treatment strategies changed over time? The study will provide information on where these patients have been treated in the Region Västra Götaland. During the study period, ESD was introduced as a treatment modality, and it will investigated how this may have influenced treatment strategies for complex adenomas. Clinical outcome measures will include recurrence rates and re-intervention rates for the respective treatments. Possible areas of improvement will be identified and determine if evidence based and best practice guidelines are met with the current treatment strategies in Region Västra Götaland.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rectal Neoplasms, run by Sahlgrenska University Hospital at 1 site in Sweden.

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 7 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Pathological clear margins (time frame: 1-2 months after surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Nov 2022.
