Trial for surgery planning in right-side colon cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies how to treat cancers located near the right bend of the colon (hepatic flexure) or the first part of the transverse colon. It may help patients by testing a specific approach to surgery before and around the time of resection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 75 years old
- You have confirmed colon cancer (adenocarcinoma) proven by biopsy
- Your scans show the tumor is in the hepatic flexure or the proximal (first) third of the transverse colon
- Your cancer stage is T any, N any, and M0, meaning no distant spread
- You can take part in a study, understand the plan, and sign consent
- You are able to have laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery and are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This trial tests a treatment for people with right-sided colon cancer that has not spread. It aims to see if a specific surgery or approach can improve outcomes.
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 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 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 is testing a standard way to do right-sided colon removal surgery using keyhole techniques. The goal is to make the surgery more consistent and improve recovery for people with early-stage colon cancer.
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.
