3D imaging to plan colon cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses advanced 3D imaging technology to help surgeons better plan surgery for locally advanced colon cancer. Researchers want to see if this detailed imaging helps predict surgical outcomes and guides treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have adenocarcinoma (a common type of colon cancer) in the right, left, sigmoid, or recto-sigmoid area of your colon
- Your cancer is locally advanced (stage T3 or T4a/b), meaning it has grown through the colon wall or into nearby structures
- You have not had evidence of cancer spreading throughout your belly (carcinomatosis) or to distant organs
- Your cancer can be surgically removed, based on imaging and the surgeon's assessment
- You are 18 years or older and willing to sign consent for surgery

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a less invasive surgery approach for early-stage colon cancer. It uses a special dye to find and remove only the first lymph node (sentinel node) while removing just the part of the colon with the tumor, possibly avoiding a bigger surgery.
This trial uses 3D modeling to help doctors see if rectal cancer has spread to the edge of the tissue that needs to be removed during surgery. It is for patients with stage II or III rectal cancer who are planning to have surgery.
This trial uses a computer to analyze CT scans taken before colon cancer surgery. The goal is to see if artificial intelligence can help doctors choose the best treatment for each patient.
This trial tests a 3D imaging device during colonoscopy to see if it helps find more advanced adenomas (precancerous polyps) than standard colonoscopy. If you are scheduled for a diagnostic colonoscopy and haven't had colorectal cancer or polyps removed before, this study might be for you.
This study looks at how well cancer found on scans matches the actual cancer seen under the microscope after surgery. It may help improve how doctors plan treatment for colon, sigmoid, or rectal adenocarcinoma.
This study uses advanced CT imaging (a type of detailed scan) to help doctors better understand colon cancer and plan treatment. You'll be enrolled if you've already been diagnosed with colon cancer and had this specific type of scan before surgery.
