Looking at surgery for high-risk appendix tumors in children
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (the patient) were treated for an appendix neuroendocrine tumor before age 18

- You were not diagnosed with other appendix tumor types, like goblet cell carcinoma
- You were not diagnosed with other appendix tumor types, like adenocarcinoma
- You were not diagnosed with other appendix tumor types, like neuroendocrine carcinoma

This trial compares two types of surgery for right-side colon cancer. One removes nearby lymph nodes, the other removes a wider area. The goal is to see which is better for recovery and cancer control.
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 types of minimally invasive surgery for right colon cancer (robotic vs. laparoscopic). It aims to see which approach may be better for recovery and outcomes.
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 two types of surgery for right colon cancer: laparoscopic (small incisions with a camera) and open (a larger cut). The goal is to see which approach works better for removing the cancer and nearby lymph nodes.
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.
