Surgery study for older adults with early colon cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a planned surgery approach works for people age 75 and older with early-stage colon cancer. It may help improve outcomes by selecting the right patients for a specific colon operation plan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 75 or older and able to sign a consent form
- Have colon cancer that is adenocarcinoma (not a different cancer type)
- Have early-stage disease: tumor in the colon, T1 or T2, and no spread to lymph nodes or distant sites
- Be considered suitable for CELS surgery by the multidisciplinary team (MDT)
- Your biopsy must not show “high-risk” features like mucin, signet cells, or poorly differentiated cells

This trial tests better nutrition and follow-up care for older patients after colon cancer surgery. It focuses on people who are somewhat frail and at risk for poor nutrition, to see if extra support at home can improve recovery.
This trial compares two types of surgery for right-sided colon (bowel) cancer: CME versus the usual right hemicolectomy. It may help doctors learn which approach works better and may guide future treatment choices.
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.
This trial tests whether giving 6 weeks of chemotherapy (FOLFOX) before surgery can help people aged 70 and older with locally advanced colon cancer. It aims to make treatment safer and more effective for older adults.
This trial tests a less invasive surgery approach for early-stage colon cancer. It uses a special dye to find and remove only the first lymph node (sentinel node) while removing just the part of the colon with the tumor, possibly avoiding a bigger surgery.
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.
