Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Right Hemicolectomy with D2 lymph node dissection and Right Hemicolectomy with D3 lymph node dissection in people with Colon Cancer, run by G.V. Bondar Republican Cancer Center at 1 site in Ukraine.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
