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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with colon adenocarcinoma (a type of colon cancer) that started in the cecum.
- Your cancer is at an early stage (T1-3) and has not spread to distant parts of the body.
- You are fit for surgery, as determined by your doctor.
- You have not had chemotherapy before this surgery.

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 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 approaches for local advanced colon cancer: giving chemotherapy (CAPEOX) before surgery versus going straight to surgery. It's for people with a high CEA level, a certain type of colon cancer, and no cancer spread.
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 study looks at how lymph nodes are arranged in the mesentery (the tissue that holds the intestine) for cecal and proximal ascending colon cancers. It will help surgeons understand which nodes to remove during surgery.
