Robotic surgery for colorectal cancer or large polyps
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial uses a new robotic system to remove colorectal cancers or large polyps that can't be removed by endoscopy. It may help you have a less invasive surgery with faster recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have colorectal cancer or a large polyp that can't be removed by endoscopy
- Your body mass index (BMI) is under 35
- You are willing to sign a consent form
- Your tumor is not stage T4 (not deeply invading nearby organs)
- You have not had previous extensive abdominal surgery that would make this approach difficult
- You have no other cancer or distant spread, active infection, or bleeding problems

This trial tests a new robotic surgery system for common operations on the colon, rectum, prostate, kidney, bladder, stomach, esophagus, gallbladder, and hiatal hernia. It may offer a less invasive option for patients who need surgery for these conditions.
This trial tests a new robotic system (Endorobotics) to remove early-stage stomach or colon tumors using an endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera). The goal is to see if the robot helps doctors remove the entire tumor safely and effectively, especially when standard methods are challenging.
This trial tests a new robotic system to remove large, flat growths in the rectum without traditional surgery. It may help people who have early-stage rectal tumors that are too big for standard removal methods.
This trial tests a new robotic technique for stomach cancer surgery using an extra robot arm. It may help you recover faster and with fewer complications.
This trial tests a robotic, top-down approach to remove certain rectal tumors using an intersphincteric resection (a surgery that preserves bowel control as much as possible). It may help some people with stage I–III rectal cancer avoid a bigger operation and improve outcomes compared with standard surgical methods.
This trial tests whether robotic surgery is effective for treating right colon cancer. It is for adults who are eligible for robotic surgery and whose cancer has not spread beyond the colon.
