Conditions

Summary

Complete mesocolic excision is currently recognized as a standard procedure for colon cancer. Controversy remains on the presence of right gastroepiploic mesentery metastasis in patients with colon cancer locating at or close to the hepatic flexure. The investigators design this study in order to define the incidence of mesogastrium metastasis and analyse the safety and surgical outcome in these patients who undergo complete mesocolic excision with right gastroepiploic mesentery resection.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is investigating whether colon cancer in the upper right part of the abdomen spreads to a section of tissue called the mesogastrium. Surgeons want to understand if removing this tissue during surgery could improve cancer cure rates. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 18 and 75 years old - You have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer confirmed by biopsy - Your cancer is located at the hepatic flexure or transverse colon (upper right portion of the colon) - Your cancer has not spread to distant organs - You are scheduled for a specific colon surgery (complete mesocolic excision) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have cancer in more than one location in the colon at the same time - There is already evidence of cancer spread to distant organs - You have a history of colorectal cancer or other cancers - Your surgery is being done as an emergency Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
