Laparoscopic Complete Mesocolic Excision on Colon Cancer (LCME)

October 26, 2022 updated by: Bo Feng

Clinical Research on the Efficacy and Feasibility of Laparoscopic Complete Mesocolic Excision on Colon Cancer: A Randomized Controlled Study

Laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision is a concept that using laparoscopic surgery technique to perform a resection for colon cancer. Besides, the segment of the colon containing the tumor, the resection area should include an intact mesocolon as an envelope to encase the possible route for metastasis. The routes include blood vessels, lymphatic drain and etc. Such hypothesis predicts better histopathological and higher oncological results which turns into better survival rate and better quality of life.

  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision
Randomized group of patients receiving laparoscopic colectomy with the concept of complete mesocolic excision
laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision would be applied on randomized group of patients suffering colon cancer and possessing no marked surgical anti-indications. Lap.CME facilitaes medial approach to complete the procedure. CME and HMA are the two arms of the medial approach utilized.
Other Names:
  • laparoscopic CME
  • Complete Medial Approach (CMA)
  • Hybrid Medial Approach (HMA)
Active Comparator: D3 laparoscopic colectomy
Randomized group of patients receiving laparoscopic colectomy with D3-resection
D3-laparoscopic colectomy would be applied on randomized group of patients suffering colon cancer and possessing no marked surgical anti-indications.
Other Names:
  • D3 laparoscopic colectomy
