NCT03837782

Brief Summary

There are limited data from retrospective studies regarding whether short-term and long-term outcomes after laparoscopic or robot-assisted radical colectomy (minimally invasive surgery) are equivalent to those after open abdominal radical colectomy (open surgery) among patients with early and medium-stage colorectal cancer. This trial is a multicenter,prospective, randomized trial evaluating short-term and survival outcomes concerning minimally invasive surgery and open surgery for colorectal cancer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • complications

    complications includes intraoperative and postoperative complications, such as huge blood loss, anastomotic fistula, abdominal infection and septic shock.

    through hospital stay, an average of two weeks

  • disease free survival

    Disease-free survival (DFS) was defined as the interval between the date of surgical resection and diagnosis of recurrence or the most recent follow-up date.

    From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression, assessed up to 70 months

  • overall survival

    Overall survival (OS) was measured from the date of hepatectomy to death with or without HCC recurrence or the end of this study period.

    From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 70 months.

Study Arms (2)

minimally invasive surgery

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients were randomized to undergo minimally invasive radical resection (endoscopic surgery or robotic assisted surgery). Each participating site required accreditation by the trial management committee to ensure proper surgical technique during minimally invasive surgery. Patients were eligible if they had colorectal adenocarcinoma; had a disease stage of I (T1,T2), IIABC (T3-T4ab) or IIIABC (TanyN1-2) according to the staging system of NCCN; and had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance-status score of 0 or 1 (on a 5-point scale, with higher values indicating greater disability).

Procedure: minimally invasive surgery

open surgery

NO INTERVENTION

Patients were randomized to undergo open radical resection (laparotomy). Each participating site required accreditation by the trial management committee to ensure proper surgical technique during minimally invasive surgery. Patients were eligible if they had colorectal adenocarcinoma; had a disease stage of I (T1,T2), IIABC (T3-T4ab) or IIIABC (TanyN1-2) according to the staging system of NCCN; and had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance-status score of 0 or 1 (on a 5-point scale, with higher values indicating greater disability). Exclusion criteria included a history of abdominal or pelvic radiotherapy, or evidence of metastatic disease on positron-emission tomography-computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or computed tomography.

Interventions

Each participating site required accreditation by the trial management committee to ensure proper surgical technique during minimally invasive surgery. No individual surgeons performed only the open approach or only the minimally invasive approach. The committee members reviewed the patients' outcomes and the videos to ensure the adequacy of the surgeon's technique.
