This is a real-world study following 400 people across multiple hospitals who had early colon cancer removed by endoscopy (a camera procedure) but the removal was incomplete — meaning some risk factors remained. The study compares two approaches: whether patients do better with additional surgery afterward, or with careful monitoring through regular check-ups and imaging instead.
When doctors remove early colon cancer using an endoscope, sometimes the removal isn't complete enough, and doctors aren't always sure whether the patient needs surgery next or can safely be watched closely. This study aims to gather real-world evidence to help doctors make better, personalized treatment decisions for each patient.

You will be enrolled in the study after your endoscopic removal and will be managed according to your doctor's real-world clinical decision — either receiving additional surgery or entering a surveillance program with regular endoscopic check-ups and imaging tests. Throughout the study, your baseline health information, tumor characteristics, and outcomes will be carefully collected and tracked according to standard medical guidelines, and you'll be followed to see how you recover and whether cancer recurs.
