Background: Telemedicine technology is a growing field, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consult Station (Health for Development) is the first telemedicine device enabling completely remote medical consultations, including the concurrent collection of clinical parameters and videos.
Objective: Our aim was to collect data on the multisite urban and suburban implementation of the Consult Station for primary care and assess its contribution to health care pathways in areas with a low density of medical services.
Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) kinetic and response to chemotherapy in patients with unresectable metastasis of colorectal cancer.
Patients And Methods: The kinetic was calculated using the slope of an exponential-regressive curve connecting the semi-logarithmic values of CEA. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn to select the CEA slope thresholds to define patients with progressive or responsive disease with the highest sensitivity, specificity, and diagnosis accuracy odds ratio (DOR).
Objectives: In asymptomatic patients presenting with non-resectable synchronous metastatic disease from colorectal adenocarcinoma, the beneficial effect of resecting the primary tumor remains to be documented. The aim of this study was to compare survival of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who underwent elective resection of the primary tumor to those who did not.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients with metastatic colo-rectal cancer treated between June, 1996 and December, 1999 was performed.
Aim: To test the impact of information brochures and informed consent forms in patients undergoing digestive endoscopy procedures.
Method: All patients undergoing digestive endoscopy procedures during a two-month period were given information about the procedure to be performed by delivery of an information form produced by the French Endoscopy and Gastroenterology Societies. The patients were then asked to sign an inform consent form.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate biologic factors on survival and clinical response after definitive concomitant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
Methods And Materials: TP53 protein hyperexpression (immunochemistry [IHC]) and functional assay (FA) of TP53, measuring the ability of TP53 to transactivate p21 and bax reporter systems, were performed in patients with ESCC treated by CRT. The impact of parameters studied on survival and clinical response to CRT was assessed.
