Lymph node removal options for right-sided colon cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two different extents of lymph node removal during surgery for advanced right-sided colon cancer, to see which approach is safer and more effective. It aims to help guide surgical decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- Your cancer must be confirmed as adenocarcinoma (a common type of colon cancer) through a biopsy.
- The tumor must be on the right side of your colon (from the ileocecal valve to the right part of the transverse colon).
- You should be in generally good health (classified as ASA I to III by an anesthesiologist).
- You must not have had prior chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy for this cancer.
- You must not have had other cancers, inflammatory bowel disease, familial adenomatous polyposis, or previous major abdominal surgery.

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 study compares two ways of removing the right side of the colon in people with right-sided colon cancer. One method takes out nearby lymph nodes (small immune glands) in the usual way, and the other removes a wider area, to see which is safer and more effective.
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 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.
