Lymph node removal for advanced right-sided colon cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at how many lymph nodes should be removed during surgery for advanced right-sided colon cancer. It may help determine the best treatment approach for patients who haven't had other cancer treatments yet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have adenocarcinoma (a type of colon cancer) confirmed by a biopsy.
- Your tumor is on the right side of the colon, from the ileocecal valve to the right part of the transverse colon.
- You are healthy enough for surgery (classified as ASA I–III).
- You have not had radiation, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy before this surgery.
- Your cancer is at stage cT4N0M0 or cT3-4N+M0 (advanced but not spread to distant organs).
- You are willing to join the study and sign a consent form.

This study looks at how colon and rectal cancer on the left side spreads to nearby lymph nodes (No.253). It is for people who have had laparoscopic surgery and whose cancer is still only in the colon or rectum. The goal is to better understand these patterns to help guide future treatment.
This trial is testing whether a more limited surgery for mid and low rectal cancer can be safe, by avoiding removal of lymph nodes near the main artery. It may be a good fit if your tumor is in the lower rectum, hasn't spread far, and you are in generally good health.
This study is looking at how far surgeons should remove lymph nodes during surgery for advanced stomach cancer. It may help doctors decide the best way to remove cancer while reducing side effects.
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 looks at how lymph nodes are arranged in the mesentery (the tissue that holds the intestine) for cecal and proximal ascending colon cancers. It will help surgeons understand which nodes to remove during surgery.
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.
