Second chance surgery for colorectal cancer: what makes it work?
NCT ID NCT07279961
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 143 people in China who had repeat surgery after their first colorectal cancer operation failed or the cancer came back. The goal was to find out what helps the second surgery succeed and whether patients can regain normal bowel function. Researchers analyzed medical records to identify key factors, but this was an observational study, not a test of a new treatment.
