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.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

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.
