This trial compares two types of surgery for right-side colon cancer. One removes nearby lymph nodes, the other removes a wider area. The goal is to see which is better for recovery and cancer control.
This study compares two ways of reconnecting the intestine after rectal cancer surgery. It looks at a newer method called TTSS against the standard double-stapled technique.
This trial tests three different surgical methods for rectal cancer located very close to the anal canal. The goal is to see which method works best in the short and long term while preserving anal function.
This trial compares two types of surgery for low rectal cancer to see which one better preserves your ability to control bowel movements. It is for people whose cancer has not spread and who have good anal function before surgery.
This trial compares two different surgery approaches for early-stage rectal cancer (T2N0M0) that is close to the anus. It tests whether a less invasive local removal followed by radiation works as well as more extensive surgery (total mesorectal excision).
