Current evidence insufficient to guide practice; leaves open the need for RCTs to generate level 1 data on minimally invasive colon cancer surgery.
This chapter details how randomized controlled trial methodologies facilitate the development of level 1 evidence in support of minimally invasive colon cancer surgery.
Nelson et al. (2007) conducted a review in Colon cancer. Minimally invasive colon cancer surgery was evaluated. Randomized controlled trial methodologies are needed to develop level 1 evidence for minimally invasive colon cancer surgery, as currently only 24% of surgical patients are managed based on it.
