Study Summary

This study investigates if circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and other tumor-related molecules/chemicals released in the blood can help doctors predict if colorectal cancer may come back or spread. Tumors shed DNA and other cancer related chemicals into the blood that can be identified and studied further to provide information about the cancer. Information gathered from this study may help researchers better understand if ctDNA found in the blood can predict whether colorectal cancer may come back or spread.

Primary Outcome

To detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in plasma samples from patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) who have completed curative therapies (i.e. minimal residual disease) towards predicting recurrence earlier than the current standard of care utilizing the CRC23 assay and the LUNAR assay from Guardant Health technology.
