Comparing two surgery types for right-sided colon cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for removing the right side of the colon when cancer is present. The goal is to see if one method leads to better recovery and long-term outcomes, which could help you and others in the future.

This trial compares a more complete surgery (removing the right colon and surrounding tissue more thoroughly) versus the usual right-colon surgery. It aims to see if the more thorough approach improves outcomes for people with non-metastatic right colon cancer.
This trial compares two surgical approaches—keyhole surgery versus open surgery—for right colon cancer. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for patients needing planned (elective) tumor removal.
This trial tests whether adding a special dye (indocyanine green) during surgery to remove right-sided colon cancer helps the surgeon see and remove more lymph nodes. The goal is to improve cancer removal without adding extra risks.
This study looks at two types of surgery for cancer in a part of the colon called the splenic flexure. It compares removing just the affected section (segmental colectomy) with removing a larger portion (extended hemicolectomy) to see which has better outcomes.
This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the bowel after removing the right part of the colon in laparoscopic surgery. One method is done inside the body, the other outside; both are standard, and the study aims to see which is better for recovery.
This study compares two surgical approaches for removing the right side of the colon in certain women with colon cancer or a high-risk pre-cancer. It aims to see whether the less invasive transvaginal approach can be done safely and work as well as standard laparoscopic surgery.
