Trial Description

Due to restricted accuracy of imaging modalities and absence of early symptoms, peritoneal metastases (PM) are often detected at a stage in which only a quarter of patients are eligible for curative intent treatment. The aim of this trial is to determine the yield of second look diagnostic laparoscopy (DLS) and added value of third look DLS after negative second look DLS in detecting occult PM in pT4N0-2M0 colon cancer patients after completion of primary treatment. Detection of PM at an early s
