Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this observational study is to determine the optimal surgical strategy based on oncologic outcomes in patients with stage I-III right-sided colon cancer who underwent curative right hemicolectomy.

The main question it aims to answer is: Is there a significant difference in 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) between patients treated with Complete Mesocolic Excision (CME) and those treated with tumor specific mesocolic excision (TSME)? Participants will include patients who underwent curative right hemicolectomy for right-sided colon cancer between 2015 and 2020 at eight institutions. They will be categorized into two groups based on the surgical technique received-CME group and TSME group-and evaluated for primary and secondary endpoints of 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS), respectively.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This observational, population-based cohort study was conducted following the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines, with approval obtained from the institutional review board (IRB) of the primary institution and the ethics committees of each participating institution in the Republic of Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Given that the study utilized anonymized retrospective data, the requirement for informed consent was waived.

The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tumor Specific Mesocolic Excision (TSME) compared to Complete Mesocolic Excision (CME) in patients with right-sided colon cancer. Patients diagnosed with right-sided colon cancer who underwent laparoscopic or robotic right hemicolectomy between 2015 and 2020 were included. Surgical techniques were classified into modified TSME or CME, and the study assessed oncologic outcomes, including recurrence-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), lymph node yield, and stage distribution.

Data collection was conducted at multiple medical centers across Asia to ensure a diverse representation of patient demographics and clinical practices. The participating institutions included Asan Medical Center, Korea University Anam Hospital, Severance Hospital, Kyungpook National University Chilgok Hospital, Chinese University of Hong Kong, North District Hospital, Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital, and China Medical University Hospital. These centers, varying in location and size, enhance the study's generalizability within the context of right-sided colon cancer management in Asia.
