About this study

Official title: Multicenter Randomized Trial Comparing Laparoscopy and Laparotomy for Colon Cancer Surgery in Patients Older Than 75 Years

The purpose of this study is to compare the postoperative global morbidity between patients who have been operated on for a colon cancer by laparotomy and those operated on by laparoscopy

Read the detailed description

The present study is a national, multicenter, open-label randomized, 2-arm superiority trial. Patients aged 75 years or older with uncomplicated colonic cancer or precancerous colonic lesion non-endoscopically resectable, will be randomized to either colectomy by laparoscopy or laparotomy. All patients that might be included will have a comprehensive geriatric assessment performed within the 30 days before randomization with the following scores: MMS (Mini Mental Score), ADL scale (Activities of Daily Living), IADL scale (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living), GDS (Geriatric Depression Scale) and TGUG test ("Timed Get-Up-and-Go" test).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Global postoperative morbidity in both arms

    Postoperative morbidity is defined as any surgical or medical complications occurring up to 30 days after surgery. It will be collected using a standardized collection form during hospitalization and eventual subsequent consultations in case of patient discharge before then

    Measured: At 30 days after the surgery

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Postoperative mortality

    Death from any cause

    Measured: Evaluated at 30 days and at 90 days after the surgery

  2. Rate of readmission

    Defined as any rehospitalization whatever the cause

    Measured: Within the 30 days after discharge of the patient

  3. Number of examined lymph nodes

    Quality of surgical resection : Number of examined lymph nodes

    Measured: At surgery

  4. Type of resection (R0 or R1)

    Quality of surgical resection : Type of resection (R0 or R1)

    Measured: At surgery

  5. Pathological evaluation of mesocolic resection quality

    Quality of surgical resection : Pathological evaluation of mesocolic resection quality

    Measured: At surgery

  6. Health-related quality of life : Quality of Life Questionnaires (EORTC QLQ-C30)

    Health-related quality of life : Quality of Life Questionnaires (EORTC QLQ-C30)

    Measured: At randomization and three months postoperatively

  7. Health-related quality of life : Quality of Life Questionnaires (EORTC QLQ-CR29)

    Health-related quality of life : Quality of Life Questionnaires (EORTC QLQ-CR29)

    Measured: At randomization and three months postoperatively

  8. Mini Mental State (MMS) Examination or Folstein test

    Evolution of geriatric scores : The Mini Mental State (MMS) Examination or Folstein test; (Comprehensive geriatric assessment performed by a geriatrician on each site)

    Measured: Before randomization and three months postoperatively

  9. Katz Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale

    Evolution of geriatric scores :The Katz Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale (Comprehensive geriatric assessment performed by a geriatrician on each site)

    Measured: Before randomization and three months postoperatively

  10. Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS)

    Evolution of geriatric scores :The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (Comprehensive geriatric assessment performed by a geriatrician on each site)

    Measured: Before randomization and three months postoperatively

  11. Timed Get-up-and-go (TGUG)

    Evolution of geriatric scores :The Timed Get-up-and-go (TGUG) test (Comprehensive geriatric assessment performed by a geriatrician on each site)

    Measured: Before randomization and three months postoperatively
