Dye-guided surgery for right colon cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have a confirmed adenocarcinoma (a type of colon cancer) on the right side of your colon.
- Your cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes but not to distant organs, as shown on a CT scan.
- You are in good overall health (ASA score I-III and ECOG score 0 or 1).
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation before this surgery.

This trial compares two surgical techniques for removing the right side of the colon when cancer is present. The goal is to see if one method leads to better recovery and long-term outcomes, which could help you and others in the future.
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.
This trial tests a less invasive surgery approach for early-stage colon cancer. It uses a special dye to find and remove only the first lymph node (sentinel node) while removing just the part of the colon with the tumor, possibly avoiding a bigger surgery.
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 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.
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.
