Surgery for early-stage cecal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial is testing different surgical approaches for people with cecal cancer that hasn't spread. The goal is to find the best treatment option for patients whose tumors are at a stage where surgery can be curative.

This study compares two types of lymph node removal during surgery for left-sided colon cancer. It aims to see which surgical approach may work better while ensuring you can still safely complete chemotherapy.
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 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 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 giving chemotherapy before surgery versus going straight to surgery for people with locally advanced colon cancer and a high CEA blood marker. It aims to see if the chemo-first approach improves outcomes.
This study looks at where lymph nodes are located in the mesentery of the ileum for patients with cecal or proximal ascending colon cancer. It aims to improve surgical planning and may help guide more precise treatment.
