Complications after pre-surgery radiation for colorectal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at side effects and recovery (complications) after chemotherapy or radiation given before surgery for colorectal cancer. It includes people who are somewhat frail (scores 2–4), to see how they do after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your doctor measures your Clinical Frailty Scale as 2, 3, or 4 (generally well but may have some limitations).
- You are having surgery to remove colorectal cancer completely (radical surgery).

This trial looks at how your immune cells change before and after surgery for colorectal cancer, and whether those changes affect your long-term recovery. It may help doctors predict outcomes and improve care.
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and a targeted drug (fruquintinib) given before surgery to shrink colorectal cancer. It aims to see if this approach helps make tumors easier to remove or even disappear, especially for patients whose cancer has spread a little or is in a tricky spot.
This study looks at how well patients recover from colorectal cancer surgery, comparing those who had chemotherapy or radiation before surgery to those who did not. The goal is to understand if pre-treatment affects surgical outcomes.
This study looks at complications that happen after surgery in patients with advanced rectal cancer who got radiation or chemo-radiation before their operation. Researchers want to learn how different pre-surgery treatments affect recovery.
This study tests a specific “before surgery” treatment (radiation plus chemotherapy), followed by more chemotherapy to improve outcomes in people with certain types of rectal cancer. You might be considered if your cancer is locally advanced but not spread to distant organs.
This study looks at how frailty affects recovery and outcomes for patients aged 70 and older who are having planned surgery to remove colorectal cancer. The goal is to better understand frailty's impact so care can be improved.
