Peritoneal growth patterns in colorectal cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how the growth patterns of cancer spread in the abdomen (peritoneal metastases) can help doctors plan surgery for colorectal cancer. It aims to improve decision-making before surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have colorectal cancer that has been confirmed by a biopsy.
- Your cancer has spread to the lining of your abdomen (peritoneal metastases) based on scans or doctor evaluations.
- You are scheduled for a staging laparoscopy or surgery (with or without heated chemotherapy inside the abdomen).
- Doctors can obtain a tissue sample from the abdominal spread for analysis.
- You agree to participate and sign a consent form.

This trial studies people whose cancer has spread to the lining of the abdomen (the “belly lining”), including cancers from the digestive tract or ovaries. You may be asked to join because the study aims to learn how to better match care to different patterns of this belly lining cancer spread.
This study looks at how colon and rectal cancer on the left side spreads to nearby lymph nodes (No.253). It is for people who have had laparoscopic surgery and whose cancer is still only in the colon or rectum. The goal is to better understand these patterns to help guide future treatment.
This study tests if a simple blood test can detect early signs of colorectal cancer coming back after surgery to remove cancer spread in the abdomen. It may help patients avoid unnecessary treatments and catch recurrence sooner.
This trial tests a new way to analyze data from colorectal cancer patients who are scheduled for surgery. It may help doctors understand the disease better and plan more effective treatments.
This study looks at colorectal cancer that has spread to the peritoneum (the lining around the belly) using existing tumor tissue samples. It may help researchers better understand the cancer’s biology and improve future treatments.
This study looks at how cancers that spread along the belly lining (“peritoneal surface malignancies”) behave and how different treatment strategies may work. It may help improve how doctors select and test treatments for people who are candidates for CRS-HIPEC, a specific cancer surgery approach.
