Surgery trial for colon cancer spread to stomach-area fat
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a specific surgery that removes the colon’s associated tissue (and part of the nearby stomach-area tissue) improves outcomes for certain colon cancer cases that are at risk of spreading there. If you qualify, your doctors will compare your treatment approach as part of the study to see if it helps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 75 years old
- Have biopsy-proven colon (colorectal) cancer
- Your scan/staging must match a non-emergency plan with tumors in certain early-to-mid spread patterns (cT2-4aN0M0 or any N with M0)
- Your cancer must be located at the hepatic flexure or near the transverse colon near the natural bends of the colon
- Plan to have a complete mesocolic excision with right gastric mesentery tissue removal as part of surgery
- You must understand the trial and sign informed consent

This study compares two types of lymph node removal during surgery for left-sided colon cancer. It aims to see which surgical approach may work better while ensuring you can still safely complete chemotherapy.
This trial tests if removing the stomach tumor and liver spots together can help people with stomach cancer that has spread only to the liver. It is for those who are healthy enough for surgery and chemotherapy.
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 looks at how stomach cancer spreads to lymph nodes and other tissues behind the stomach during surgery. It may help doctors understand which patients need more extensive surgery.
This trial tests if surgery to remove the stomach and some tumors, after a few months of chemo, helps people whose stomach cancer has spread to only a few nearby spots (like the lining of the belly, liver, or lymph nodes) live longer compared to chemo alone.
This trial studies the importance of checking lymph nodes in the fatty tissue around the stomach during stomach cancer surgery. It helps doctors understand if examining these specific areas can improve treatment decisions.
