Quality of care

The Colorectal Research Group at The University Hospital Geneva mainly focus on Clinical research with the aim to improve the quality of care of patients presenting with colorectal cancer, sigmoid diverticulitis or Inflammatory Bowel Disease. The following protocols have been approved by the Ethics Committee of our institution:

The role of mechanical Bowel Preparation for left sided anastomoses
Quality of life after abdomino-perineal resection a longitudinal study
Natural History of Sigmoid diverticulitis - a cohort study
Laparoscopic vs. open sigmoid colectomy for diverticular disease: a prospective randomized single-blind trial
In addition, our group has established collaboration with the Swiss Association for Cancer Research, and is actively participating to the following trial:
Finally, we have developed a collaboration with basic scientists and are currently involved in research regarding the role of Hedgehog signalling in the development of colorectal cancer: this work is conducted in the Professor Ruiz y Altaba's lab at the University of Geneva:
The role of tumor stem cell in the development of colorectal cancer
