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.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST3D reconstruction

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.

Inclusion criteria

1. Patients of both sexes, aged ≥18 years. 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. Patients who access and sign informed consent for the surgical intervention.

Exclusion criteria

1. Suspected carcinomatosis on preoperative CT or intraoperative finding 2. Suspected distant metastasis on preoperative CT or intraoperative finding 3. Patients with tumors with infiltration considered to be unresectable (pre-surgical or intraoperatively), since the anatomical-pathological analysis will not be available.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
R0 resection rate8 weeksProportion 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)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of perioperative complications (Clavien-Dindo classification)Within 30 days after surgeryProportion of patients experiencing perioperative complications within 30 days after surgery, classified according to the Clavien-Dindo grading system, following surgical planning with three-dimensional image post-processing reconstruction in patients with locally advanced colon cancer.
Rate of minimally invasive surgical approachWithin 8 WeeksProportion of patients undergoing a minimally invasive surgical approach (laparoscopic or robotic) following preoperative planning with three-dimensional image post-processing reconstruction (3D-IPR) in patients with locally advanced colon cancer (LACC).
Conversion to open surgery8 WeeksProportion of patients requiring conversion from minimally invasive to open surgery during procedures planned with three-dimensional image post-processing reconstruction (3D-IPR) in patients with locally advanced colon cancer (LACC).
Diagnostic accuracy of 3D-IPR for detection of adjacent organ infiltration (sensitivity and specificity)Within 8 WeeksSensitivity and specificity of three-dimensional image post-processing reconstruction (3D-IPR) compared with conventional CT radiological reports for the detection of adjacent organ infiltration in patients with locally advanced colon cancer (LACC), using intraoperative findings and/or histopathological assessment as the reference standard.
Overall survival (OS)Up to 5 yearsOverall survival, defined as the time from surgery to death from any cause, in patients with locally advanced colon cancer (LACC) undergoing surgical planning with three-dimensional image post-processing reconstruction (3D-IPR).
Rate of locoregional and distant recurrenceUp to 5 yearsProportion of patients experiencing locoregional or distant recurrence within 5 years after surgery, confirmed by imaging studies (CT, MRI, or PET-CT) or histopathology, in patients with locally advanced colon cancer (LACC) undergoing surgical planning with three-dimensional image post-processing reconstruction (3D-IPR).
