Core Tip
Core Tip: Due to the anatomy and embryology complexity, and the lack of large randomized controlled trials, it is difficult to standardize surgery of transverse colon cancer (TCC). This study discusses the possible appropriate surgical procedures of TCC patients and a heatmap was conducted to show the evidence level and gap. In summary, transverse colectomy challenges the dogma of traditional extended colectomy, with similar oncological and prognostic outcomes.
