Length of Tumour Feeding Artery After Colon Cancer Surgery
Length of Tumour Feeding Artery After Colon Cancer Surgery
The quality of colon cancer surgery is highly debated these years since the mortality of the
 disease is not declining markedly. Surgery is the main treatment of colon cancer and during
 surgery it is very important for the surgeon to remove the tumour and all potential ways of
 tumour spread. As colon cancer first of all spreads to the nearby lymph nodes lying along the
 tumour feeding artery the surgeon aims to cut the vessel as central as possible. This means
 that all of the tumour feeding artery should have been removed after surgery.

 In this study the investigators want to measure the length of the tumour feeding artery after
 surgery as a quality control of the surgery. The investigators hypothesize that the artery
 will be shorter than 5 mm.

 The investigators wish to CT scan all patients two days after colon cancer surgery and
 afterwards measure then length of the artery on the images. This study will not inflict with
 the normal routine for patient information and treatment.
