Lymph node spread in right colon cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a type of colon cancer called adenocarcinoma, confirmed by biopsy.
- Your tumor is in the cecum (first part of the colon) or the very beginning of the right colon (within 5 cm of the cecum).
- Your cancer has not spread to other organs (stage cT2-4aN0M0) or has spread only to nearby lymph nodes (cTanyN+M0).
- You have not had chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation before surgery, and you have not had more than one colon cancer.

This study looks at where colorectal cancer spreads to lymph nodes in patients who had a specific type of surgery. It aims to learn more about the pattern of spread to help guide future treatments.
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 looks at a minimally invasive surgery approach for people with colon adenocarcinoma that has not spread to lymph nodes or other organs. The team will use special mapping tests on the sentinel lymph node to better understand the cancer spread and help guide treatment decisions.
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 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 studies whether a specific surgery that removes the colon’s associated tissue (and part of the nearby stomach-area tissue) improves outcomes for certain colon cancer cases that are at risk of spreading there. If you qualify, your doctors will compare your treatment approach as part of the study to see if it helps.
