Other related information

Eligible patients undergoing curative-intent resection for right-sided colon cancer will be consecutively enrolled in this prospective observational study. The success rate of pathological radial margin measurement will be evaluated. The effects on lymph node examination and pathological staging will also be compared with historical controls treated between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2025. The target sample size of 50 refers to the prospective cohort and does not include the historical controls.
