Sigmoid cancer surgery with or without dye tracing
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical approaches for sigmoid colon cancer to see if using a special dye to see lymph nodes during surgery leads to better outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with sigmoid colon cancer that has not spread to other organs.
- Your tumor is at a certain depth (T3-4a) and may have spread to nearby lymph nodes (N+).
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation before surgery.
- You are healthy enough to undergo surgery.
- You do not have other cancers, inflammatory bowel disease, or a history of certain conditions.

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 looks at whether a special camera/navigation system during minimally invasive (“laparoscopic”) surgery can help treat rectal and sigmoid colon cancer. It is mainly for people who are planned for surgery soon and whose cancer stage and scans fit specific criteria.
This trial looks at a minimally invasive surgery approach for people with colon adenocarcinoma that has not spread to lymph nodes or other organs. The team will use special mapping tests on the sentinel lymph node to better understand the cancer spread and help guide treatment decisions.
This trial tests whether using a fluorescent dye during surgery can help doctors better see and remove lymph nodes in people with right-sided colon cancer. It aims to make surgery more precise and potentially improve outcomes.
This trial tests a special dye called indocyanine green to help surgeons see blood flow during surgery to remove part of the colon. If you have colorectal disease and need surgery, this could help make your operation safer.
This study tests using a special fluorescent dye (ICG) during surgery to help surgeons see and remove colon cancer more clearly. The dye highlights blood vessels and tissue, which may help ensure all cancer is removed safely.
