Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to assess the usefulness of a mathematical model of three-dimensional image process and reconstuction (3D-IPR) as a surgical planner in locally advanced colon cancer. In addition to comparing the diagnostic accuracy of this planner with that of the CT regarding the infiltration of neighbouring structures.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
R0 resection rate
Proportion of patients achieving R0 resection (defined as microscopically margin-negative resection) following surgical planning with three-dimensional image post-processing reconstruction (3D-IPR) in patients with threatened surgical margins (TSM) in locally advanced colon cancer (LACC)
8 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (6)
Rate of perioperative complications (Clavien-Dindo classification)
Within 30 days after surgery
Rate of minimally invasive surgical approach
Within 8 Weeks
Conversion to open surgery
8 Weeks
Diagnostic accuracy of 3D-IPR for detection of adjacent organ infiltration (sensitivity and specificity)
Within 8 Weeks
Overall survival (OS)
Up to 5 years
- +1 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
No 3D reconstruction group (Group A)
NO INTERVENTIONGroup of patients in which 3D reconstruction is not going to be performed before surgery
3D Reconstruction Group (Group B)
EXPERIMENTALGroup of patients in which 3D reconstruction is going to be done before surgery
Interventions
3D mathematical reconstruction from the extension CT, which is performed on all patients with colon neoplasms, to assess the location of the primary colon tumor and possible infiltration of neighboring/retroperitoneal structures.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients of both sexes, aged ≥18 years.
- Adenocarcinoma of the right, left, sigmoid and recto-sigmoid junction that have cT3 or cT4a/b according to the eighth TNM edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC). Pre-treatment diagnosis by imaging (CT) test.
- Lymph node extension: cN0, the presence of cN1/2 according to AJCC TNM 8th edition is allowed as long as they can be resected. Pretreatment diagnosis by imaging (CT) test.
- Patients who access and sign informed consent for the surgical intervention.
You may not qualify if:
- Suspected carcinomatosis on preoperative CT or intraoperative finding
- Suspected distant metastasis on preoperative CT or intraoperative finding
- Patients with tumors with infiltration considered to be unresectable (pre-surgical or intraoperatively), since the anatomical-pathological analysis will not be available.
