Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is comparing two approaches to treating a colon blockage caused by colon cancer: immediate surgery to remove the blocked segment versus a temporary solution (a stent or stoma) that allows surgery to be planned more safely later. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have a colon blockage confirmed by CT scan, caused by colon cancer - You need urgent treatment for the blockage - You are able to give informed consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your colon has perforated (a hole has formed) or you have significant bleeding - Your blockage is caused by something other than colon cancer - You are in a palliative-only care situation Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
