Lymph node removal in right colon cancer surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of removing the right side of the colon in people with right-sided colon cancer. One method takes out nearby lymph nodes (small immune glands) in the usual way, and the other removes a wider area, to see which is safer and more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
