Stage 0 Colon Cancer
Current Clinical Trials
Stage 0 colon cancer is the most superficial of all the lesions and is limited
to the mucosa without invasion of the lamina propria. Because of its
superficial nature, the surgical procedure may be limited.
Treatment options:
- Local excision or simple polypectomy with clear margins.
- Colon resection for larger lesions not amenable to local excision.
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with stage 0 colon cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI Web site.
