Surgery results after pre-treatment for colorectal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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 trial tests whether a full course of chemotherapy and radiation before any surgery (called total neoadjuvant therapy) can help you avoid surgery and preserve your rectum. It is for people with a specific early stage of rectal cancer that has not spread.
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.
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 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 trial compares giving chemotherapy before surgery versus going straight to surgery for certain stage II/III colon cancers. It may help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes by testing which approach works best for high-risk cases.
This study looks at how well surgery works for people with colorectal cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It mainly includes patients who can have the tumor completely removed and accurately staged using lymph node samples.
