Studying Tumors Near the Appendix in Abscesses
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how often tumors are found near the appendix in people who have a periappendiceal abscess (a pocket of infection). It uses imaging tests like CT, MRI, or ultrasound to confirm the condition and may help doctors better understand what to look for.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a periappendiceal abscess confirmed by CT, MRI, or ultrasound

This trial tests whether using a step-by-step approach to decide which imaging test (CT scan or ultrasound) is best for people with suspected appendicitis, instead of routinely giving everyone a CT scan or ultrasound. It may help avoid unnecessary scans.
This study follows people around the world who have their appendix removed for appendicitis. It aims to track outcomes and improve care for this common surgery.
This study compares two ways to treat appendicitis that has formed an abscess or firm inflammatory mass (phlegmon) on a CT scan. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for people with complicated appendicitis.
This study looks at genetic (inherited) and other biological factors in people with appendix cancer and, in some cases, their biological parents. The goal is to learn what may contribute to appendix cancer and help researchers better understand risk.
This study collects health information from people diagnosed with appendix cancer to better understand the disease over time. Joining helps researchers learn more about appendix cancer and may lead to better treatments in the future.
This trial studies outcomes after removing the right side of the colon (right-sided hemicolectomy) in children who had a high-risk neuroendocrine tumor of the appendix. It aims to understand whether this more extensive surgery is valuable compared with other approaches.
