Exploring biomarkers for prognosis in recurrent and metastatic colorectal cancer after surgery
Official title: Explore Biomarkers Associated With Prognosis of Recurrent and Metastatic CRC After Secondary Radical Surgery by Multi-omics Methods
Run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine · NCT05501353 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to find specific markers in blood and tumor samples that can help predict how well patients with recurring or advanced colorectal cancer will do after surgery.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with a diagnosis of colorectal cancer who have experienced their first recurrence and metastasis after prior radical resection.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients currently participating in other intervention studies or those with concurrent malignant tumors may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study utilizes a multi-omics approach to identify biomarkers that may predict the prognosis of patients with recurrent and metastatic colorectal cancer following secondary radical resection. The research focuses on detecting DNA mutations and methylation patterns in tumor tissues using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, as well as analyzing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in preoperative and postoperative blood samples. By correlating these molecular markers with patient outcomes, the study aims to enhance understanding of recurrence risk and improve prognostic accuracy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more accurate prognostic tools for patients with recurrent and metastatic colorectal cancer, potentially guiding treatment decisions.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is innovative, similar studies utilizing multi-omics methods have shown promise in other cancer types, suggesting potential for success in this context.
