Study stool and blood markers in colorectal cancer treatment planning
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 27.9
- You are having surgery to remove colorectal cancer, such as rectal, right colon, left colon, or sigmoid colon cancer
- You agree to have samples collected for the study
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation before this surgery
- You do not have severe bleeding/clotting problems, major liver or kidney problems, or very serious heart/lung disease

This study looks at colorectal cancer patients who are planning curative surgery and collects related outcomes and lab “biomarker” information to better understand the disease. Your participation may help researchers connect test results to treatment results over time.
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.
This study collects samples (like tissue and other body fluids) from people who are getting a colonoscopy or similar camera test. It aims to find “biomarkers,” which are measurable signals that may help doctors better understand or detect bowel problems such as colorectal cancer, polyps, or inflammatory bowel disease.
This study is collecting tissue samples from people having surgery on their colon or rectum to better understand colorectal diseases. It may help researchers learn more about conditions like cancer, polyps, or inflammatory bowel disease.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can help guide the care of people being evaluated for colorectal cancer. It may support earlier or clearer decision-making alongside existing screening or colonoscopy results.
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.
