What this trial studies
This registry invites adult patients undergoing colorectal surgery for colorectal cancer to participate in the collection of epidemiological data. It includes the establishment of tumor tissue and blood banks to analyze genetic mutations and disease-specific biomarkers, particularly focusing on conditions like Lynch syndrome and other hereditary cancers. The registry aims to facilitate basic and clinical research projects on colorectal cancer at the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, promoting collaboration with other institutions. Specific goals include efficient patient enrollment, development of biological sample logistics, and creation of a dynamic data recording system.
