Sentinel Node and Organ-Sparing Surgery for Early Colon Cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are healthy enough for either a less extensive surgery (like a wedge resection) or a standard colon removal.
- Your colon cancer is at a very early stage (stage I), either a T1 or T2 tumor.
- The tumor is located in the colon, more than 25 centimeters from the anus or above the sigmoid (lower colon) curve.
- You do not have other active cancers needing treatment, Lynch syndrome, or a history of colorectal cancer in the last 5 years.

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 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 compares a newer, less invasive endoscopic procedure with standard surgery for people who have a small, early-stage colon cancer. The goal is to see if the endoscopic treatment is as effective as surgery while being gentler on the body.
This study compares two types of lymph node removal during surgery for left-sided colon cancer. It aims to see which surgical approach may work better while ensuring you can still safely complete chemotherapy.
This trial tests a new technique that uses a special dye to highlight the first lymph nodes where stomach cancer might spread, allowing surgeons to remove only the necessary nodes during surgery. The goal is to reduce side effects while still effectively treating the cancer.
