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 tests whether using a special fluorescent dye during laparoscopic surgery helps surgeons better see and remove rectal or sigmoid colon cancer. The goal is to see if this technique makes the surgery more precise and possibly improves outcomes.
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 compares two ways to check for cancer spread in the lymph nodes during surgery for esophageal cancer. One way removes more lymph nodes, the other uses a special dye to find and remove only the ones most likely to contain cancer. The goal is to see if the dye method works just as well with fewer side effects.
This trial tests a special green dye that helps surgeons see blood flow in the bowel during surgery. It may help reduce complications after removing part of the bowel for diseases like cancer or diverticulitis.
This trial uses a special dye called ICG that is injected during surgery to help the surgeon see the blood flow to your colon and lymph nodes. It may help make the surgery more precise and improve outcomes for colon cancer.
