Lymph node mapping study for colorectal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
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 adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum (a common type of colorectal cancer).
- You had surgery to remove the tumor and nearby lymph nodes, and the lymph nodes were examined in a specific way.
- You did not have cancer spread to other parts of the body before or within 6 months after surgery.
- You have not had other cancers, serious illnesses, immune disorders, or inflammatory bowel disease (like ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease).
- Your surgery was not an emergency, and you have complete medical records and follow-up information.

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.
This trial looks at how much the lymph nodes respond to chemoradiation before surgery in people with locally advanced rectal cancer. It aims to understand if that response can predict long-term results and guide future treatment choices.
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 focuses on rectal cancer that has come back in the side lymph nodes near the pelvis. It tests how to treat that “lateral nodal recurrence” to improve outcomes by targeting these specific lymph nodes.
This trial compares two ways of removing lymph nodes (small glands that help fight infection) during robotic surgery for mid or low rectal cancer. It aims to see whether removing fewer lymph nodes may be just as effective and cause fewer side effects than removing a larger group of them.
This trial compares two different extents of lymph node removal during surgery for advanced right-sided colon cancer, to see which approach is safer and more effective. It aims to help guide surgical decisions.
