This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery works as well as open surgery for treating right colon cancer. Both surgical approaches follow the same careful technique for removing the cancer and nearby lymph nodes. The study will help doctors understand which approach gives patients the best outcomes with the fewest complications.
Surgeons have found that a specific surgical technique called complete mesocolic excision (CME) improves survival and reduces cancer recurrence. This trial exists to find out whether this technique works equally well when done through small incisions (laparoscopic) as it does through a larger open incision, which could mean faster recovery and less pain for patients if the results are similar.

If you join this trial, you will be randomly assigned to receive either laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery or open surgery to remove your right colon cancer. Both procedures follow the same careful surgical technique to remove the cancer and nearby lymph nodes. You will have one surgery, and your recovery and outcomes will be monitored to compare how well each approach works.
