Lymph node spread in cecal and ascending colon cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at where lymph nodes are located in the mesentery of the ileum for patients with cecal or proximal ascending colon cancer. It aims to improve surgical planning and may help guide more precise treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with colon adenocarcinoma (a type of colon cancer).
- Your tumor is in the cecum (near the appendix) or in the ascending colon within 5 cm of the ileocecal valve.
- Your cancer is at a stage where it has not spread to distant organs (M0) and is either T2-4aN0 or any T with lymph node involvement (N+).
- You have not received chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation before surgery.
- You have not had endoscopic removal of the tumor followed by surgery.

This study looks at where colorectal cancer spreads to lymph nodes after surgery. It aims to improve how doctors check lymph nodes to better understand the cancer and guide future treatment.
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 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.
This study looks at how esophageal (or esophagus-stomach junction) cancer spreads to nearby lymph nodes. Results may help doctors understand where cancer cells are likely to be, potentially improving future surgery planning.
This trial looks at how stomach cancer spreads to lymph nodes and other tissues behind the stomach during surgery. It may help doctors understand which patients need more extensive surgery.
