Evaluating neurometabolic networks for predicting survival in colorectal cancer

An Observational Study on the Prognostic Value of Neurometabolic Networks in Colorectal Cancer

Observational The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University · NCT06930586

This study is testing a new way to predict survival in colorectal cancer patients by looking at how different networks in the body interact and affect outcomes.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the prognostic value of neurometabolic networks in predicting overall survival for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). It will evaluate the area under the curve (AUC) of a model called BRIDGE and compare its predictive capabilities against existing clinical prediction models. The study focuses on understanding the complex interactions within the gastrointestinal ecosystem and their implications for tumorigenesis and patient outcomes. By adopting a systemic perspective, the research seeks to improve early detection and management strategies for CRC.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are male and female patients aged 18 and older who have been diagnosed with rectal cancer.

Not a fit: Patients with colorectal cancer who are not eligible due to age or diagnosis may not receive any benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved survival predictions for colorectal cancer patients, enabling more personalized treatment approaches.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using neurometabolic networks for cancer prognosis, but this specific approach is relatively novel.
