Stent before surgery for right-sided colon blockage from cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether placing a stent first to relieve a blockage in the right side of the colon improves outcomes before surgery for colon cancer. It aims to help patients who come to the hospital with a blocked colon due to cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have symptoms of a blocked colon (like belly pain, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea) caused by colon cancer
- A CT scan has confirmed that part of your colon or small bowel is stretched from the blockage
- Your treatment plan is aimed at curing the cancer, not just managing symptoms
- The blockage is not in the rectum

This trial tests if placing a small mesh tube (stent) in a major artery can prevent leaks where the colon is reconnected during surgery. It may help people who have a blockage in that artery but no symptoms from it.
This study compares emergency surgery to placing a stent first for people with a blocked colon from cancer. It also looks at whether a special recovery program (ERAS) helps you heal faster after surgery.
This trial studies treatment choices for adults with a large-bowel blockage caused by colon cancer. It compares doing an emergency procedure now (like a stent or stoma) versus bridging to a later colon surgery, to see which approach is safer and works better.
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy before surgery helps people with colon cancer that caused a blockage and needed a temporary colostomy. It aims to improve outcomes compared to standard treatment.
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy before surgery can help people with colon cancer that is blocking the bowel. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes and makes surgery safer or more effective.
This study tests whether a 'prehabilitation' program—extra nutrition, exercise, and medical support—before planned surgery can help people with cancer-related bowel blockages recover better and have fewer complications. It aims to improve your strength and health before the operation.
