Observing surgical techniques for right-sided colon cancer treatment

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This project aims to monitor outcomes following extended lymphadenectomy during right-sided colon resections for cancer, utilizing various surgical techniques including open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted methods. Patients undergoing surgery for right-sided colon cancer will be included, with those receiving standard procedures serving as a control group. The study is conducted at Haukeland University Hospital, where surgical approaches are determined by a multidisciplinary team. The research seeks to clarify the benefits and risks associated with more radical surgical techniques compared to standard practices.
