Immune cells and recovery in colorectal cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at how your immune cells change before and after surgery for colorectal cancer, and whether those changes affect your long-term recovery. It may help doctors predict outcomes and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer and are planning to have surgery.
- You may have cancer that has spread, but surgery is still possible for you.
- You might have had other treatments like radiation or chemo before surgery.
- You cannot have another type of cancer at the same time.
- You must be willing to sign a consent form and follow up after surgery.

This study looks at how gut bacteria and immune activity differ in normal, pre-cancer, and cancer colon tissue. It may help researchers understand what changes in the body are linked to colon growth and how they could be targeted in the future.
This study looks at how your sleep quality and emotional well-being before surgery might affect your recovery from colorectal cancer. By filling out questionnaires, you help doctors learn whether these factors play a role in the cancer coming back.
This study checks a “cell-free tumor DNA” blood test to see if cancer mutations can predict relapse after surgery for early colorectal cancer. If results look risky, they may help guide closer follow-up and future treatment decisions.
This study tests whether a health behavior intervention—such as changes to diet, exercise, or lifestyle—can help colorectal cancer patients recover better after surgery. You would complete questionnaires about your habits and health over time.
This study looks at special tiny cell-signal particles (called exosomes) and related pathways to understand colorectal cancer. Your results from samples may help researchers learn how these signals relate to the disease after surgery.
This study tests if a simple blood test can detect early signs of colorectal cancer coming back after surgery to remove cancer spread in the abdomen. It may help patients avoid unnecessary treatments and catch recurrence sooner.
