What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Immunoscore® as a post-operative tool to detect the risk of recurrence in patients with nonmetastatic colorectal cancer. It focuses on patients aged 18 to 80 who have undergone curative resection for stage I, II, or III colon adenocarcinoma. The study aims to analyze how the Immunoscore® results can influence patient care recommendations and treatment decisions. Participants will provide tumor samples for research purposes and must consent to the study.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 80 with histologically confirmed nonmetastatic colon adenocarcinoma who have undergone curative surgery.

Not a fit: Patients with a history of other solid tumors within the last three years or those unable to provide informed consent may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to more personalized treatment plans and improved outcomes for colorectal cancer patients.

How similar studies have performed: While the Immunoscore® is a novel approach, similar studies have shown promise in improving risk assessment for cancer recurrence.
