First seen Nov 20, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This study is for people with early-stage colon cancer (stage I) who currently need a colectomy to remove part of the colon. The SENTRY trial tests a less invasive option: removing only the tumor and nearby lymph nodes using a camera and a special dye. The goal is to see if this organ-sparing approach is as safe as standard surgery, with fewer side effects. About 341 adults will take part, and researchers will track cancer return rates over 3 years.
