New study aims to reduce unnecessary surgery for early colon cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07542171
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 400 adults with early colorectal cancer whose endoscopic removal was not fully successful (non-curative). Researchers will compare outcomes between those who have additional surgery and those who are simply monitored. The goal is to find better ways to manage these patients, avoid unnecessary operations, and personalize follow-up care.

Who is studied
This multicenter cohort study includes adult patients with early colorectal cancer who underwent non-curative endoscopic resection. Participants are stratified into additional surgery and surveillance groups based on post-resection management strategies. Comprehensive clinicopathological characteristics and follow-up data are collected to evaluate recurrence patterns, survival outcomes, and to develop and validate a risk prediction model.
