Colorectal Cancer Outcomes with NOSES Surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tracks patients with colon or rectal cancer who have a special type of surgery called natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES). The goal is to see how well patients do short-term and long-term after this procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with a primary malignant tumor (cancer) in your colon or rectum. This is confirmed by a biopsy or pathology report.
- The surgery you had or will have must be a type called 'natural orifice specimen extraction surgery' (NOSES). This means the tumor is taken out through a natural opening, like the anus or vagina, instead of through a large cut in the belly.
- If the final pathology report says the tumor is not a primary colon or rectal cancer, you cannot participate.
- If your surgery does not match the NOSES definition (for example, it requires a large abdominal incision), you cannot participate.

This trial tests whether taking a nutritional supplement before and after surgery can help patients with colorectal cancer recover better after their operation. It may improve nutrition and healing, but we need to check if you are eligible first.
This trial compares surgery versus an endoscopic procedure for people who had a colon polyp removed but some cancer cells may still be present at the edges. The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes and fewer side effects for early-stage colon cancer.
This study collects information and (likely) tumor-related lab results from adults with colorectal cancer who are having colorectal surgery. It helps researchers better understand the disease and could improve future treatment planning.
This study looks at how well surgery works for people with colorectal cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It mainly includes patients who can have the tumor completely removed and accurately staged using lymph node samples.
This trial compares two robotic surgery methods for high rectal and sigmoid colon cancer—one that removes the tumor through the anus (NOSES-IV) and the traditional assisted approach. It aims to see which way may lead to better recovery.
This study looks at how removing part of the colon through the anus (instead of a large belly cut) affects bowel function and quality of life after surgery. It may help you recover with less pain and a faster return to normal activities.
