Treatment model for colorectal cancer using ambulatory surgery
Official title: Open, Parallel, Randomized Controlled, Non-inferior, Phase III Clinical Research on the Treatment Model of Ambulatory Surgery for Colorectal Cancer
Run by First Hospital of China Medical University · NCT06637215 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether a less invasive day surgery for colorectal cancer can lead to fewer complications and better long-term results for generally healthy patients compared to traditional surgery.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients aged 18-75 with colorectal tumors that are ≤5.0 cm in diameter and no serious comorbidities.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with advanced colorectal cancer or significant comorbidities that may complicate surgery are unlikely to benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates the incidence of postoperative complications and long-term efficacy of ambulatory surgery compared to traditional laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer. It focuses on patients who are generally healthy and have sufficient organ function, specifically targeting those with adenocarcinoma or high-level intraepithelial neoplasia. The study involves laparoscopic colorectal day surgery and aims to determine the benefits of a less invasive approach. Participants will undergo thorough preoperative assessments to ensure eligibility.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to reduced complications and improved recovery times for patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with laparoscopic approaches in colorectal surgery, suggesting potential for success in this trial.
