Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 years old with non-metastatic colon cancer or synchronous metastatic colon cancer eligible for combined surgery.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with rectal cancer, colon cancer recurrence, or those who have received neoadjuvant therapy are unlikely to 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 study aims to quantify BTNL molecules in patients with colon cancer to determine their potential as prognostic markers. It involves analyzing the status of BTN and BTNL in patients who are undergoing surgery for non-metastatic or synchronous metastatic colon cancer. The study will include patients who have a performance status of 0 or 1 and have provided informed consent. The goal is to better understand the relationship between these molecules and cancer prognosis.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide new prognostic markers that help predict outcomes for colon cancer patients.
How similar studies have gone: While the specific role of Butyrophilins in colon cancer is not widely studied, similar approaches in identifying prognostic markers have shown promise in other cancer types.
