Surgery outcomes for early to mid-stage colon cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how well surgery works for people with colorectal cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It mainly includes patients who can have the tumor completely removed and accurately staged using lymph node samples.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 to 90
- Your cancer has not spread to distant organs (no distant metastasis)
- Your cancer stage is I, II, or III
- You can carry out normal activities with little or no help (ECOG 0–1)
- Surgery removed at least 12 lymph nodes to check stage, and the tumor was completely removed (R0) without leftover cancer
- Your diagnosis is colorectal adenocarcinoma, and the colonoscopy shows one main cancer lesion

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies a low-impact approach to colon or upper-rectum surgery using small cameras (laparoscopy) to see if it works well and is safe. You may be eligible if you are scheduled for a specific type of colon/rectal operation and can safely be monitored during the study.
This trial compares a single-incision laparoscopic operation versus the usual laparoscopic operation for colorectal (colon or “high rectum”) cancer. It looks at cancer outcomes and may help determine which approach is safer and works better for the right patients.
This trial compares surgery versus an endoscopic procedure for people who had a colon polyp removed but some cancer cells may still be present at the edges. The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes and fewer side effects for early-stage colon cancer.
This study looks at how well patients recover from colorectal cancer surgery, comparing those who had chemotherapy or radiation before surgery to those who did not. The goal is to understand if pre-treatment affects surgical outcomes.
This trial compares laparoscopy (minimally invasive) and open surgery for treating colon cancer in people with extra belly fat around internal organs (visceral obesity). The goal is to see which approach gives better recovery and outcomes.
This trial compares a newer, less invasive endoscopic procedure with standard surgery for people who have a small, early-stage colon cancer. The goal is to see if the endoscopic treatment is as effective as surgery while being gentler on the body.
