Compare keyhole versus open surgery for right colon cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have confirmed right colon cancer in the cecum, ascending colon, or near the liver bend (hepatic flexure)
- You are age 18 to 90
- Your surgery is planned ahead of time (not an emergency due to bleeding, perforation, or blockage)
- Your cancer is not very advanced: it is not T4, and you do not have spread to distant organs (Stage IV)
- You can safely have surgery based on anesthesia health: your ASA score is 1 to 3
- Your body weight is within limits for the study: BMI 35 or less, and you can follow the study plan

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 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.
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 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 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.
