3D imaging for planning colon cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses 3D imaging to help doctors plan surgery for locally advanced colon cancer. By creating a detailed model of your tumor and nearby structures, it may help the surgeon remove the cancer more precisely and safely. If you join, you will still receive standard surgery, but the preparation will include this 3D technology.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have colon cancer (adenocarcinoma) in the right, left, sigmoid, or recto-sigmoid part of the colon.
- Your tumor is 'locally advanced' (cT3 or cT4), meaning it has grown through the colon wall and possibly into nearby tissues, but it can still be removed with surgery.
- If you have cancer in nearby lymph nodes, they can be completely removed during surgery.
- You do not have cancer spread to the lining of the abdomen (carcinomatosis) or to distant organs (metastasis).

This study tests whether using 3D modeling of your CT and MRI scans helps doctors better detect if rectal cancer is close to the edge of the tissue that needs to be removed during surgery. If you are scheduled for surgery for stage II or III rectal cancer, this could help guide the operation and potentially reduce the chance of cancer left behind.
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 CT scans and pathology reports from people who had colon surgery to see if a computer can help doctors classify tumors more accurately. This might lead to better treatment choices in the future.
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 looks back at your CT scans to see if a new imaging technique can better show colon cancer details. Your participation simply allows researchers to review your existing scans and health records — no extra visits or treatments are needed.
This trial uses special imaging to guide surgery for rectal cancer. It studies whether detailed scans taken before surgery can help doctors remove the cancer more precisely.
