Comparing surgery types for women with rectal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares different surgical approaches for women with rectal cancer who are scheduled for a specific type of laparoscopic surgery. It aims to find which approach works best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with rectal adenocarcinoma (a type of rectal cancer).
- You are a woman and scheduled to have laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (a keyhole surgery to remove the rectum).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or lower.
- The lower edge of your tumor is no more than 10 centimeters from your anal opening.
- Your cancer has not spread to other organs like the liver or lungs.

This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery (robotic-assisted and laparoscopic) for middle and low rectal cancer. The goal is to see which approach offers better outcomes for patients who qualify.
This trial compares two different surgery approaches for early-stage rectal cancer (T2N0M0) that is close to the anus. It tests whether a less invasive local removal followed by radiation works as well as more extensive surgery (total mesorectal excision).
This trial compares surgical techniques for removing rectal cancer (anterior resection). It looks at patients with adenocarcinoma who are scheduled for surgery to find the best approach.
This trial compares two surgical approaches to remove rectal cancer tissue while aiming to preserve cure chances. It may help you see which approach fits your tumor location and health situation best.
This trial compares a newer surgical approach that uses multiple imaging techniques to a standard surgery for removing rectal cancer. It aims to see if the new method leads to better outcomes for patients with middle or lower rectal cancer.
This trial compares two ways of doing surgery for rectal cancer (robotic surgery versus an established non-robotic approach). It may help improve how safely and effectively rectal cancer surgery can be done for people with tumors close to the anus.
