Predicting Colorectal Cancer Recurrence with Portal Vein Blood
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at blood from a special vein near your liver (portal vein) to find markers that might predict if colorectal cancer will come back. The goal is to create a better way to identify patients who may need closer monitoring after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer (stage I to IV) through a biopsy.
- Blood samples (from a vein in your arm and a special vein in your liver) and a sample of your tumor are available from before and during surgery.
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation before your surgery for this cancer.
- You have not had any other cancer in the past.
- Your medical records and follow-up visits are complete.

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 looks at a blood “DNA” test to see if it can help monitor colorectal cancer after surgery. It may benefit you by improving how doctors track cancer during routine follow-up visits.
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 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 uses a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) to look for tiny bits of cancer DNA after surgery for colorectal cancer that spread to the liver. It aims to see if this test can find cancer earlier than standard scans, which may help guide future treatment decisions.
This study looks at whether a combination of clinical factors and genetic tests can better predict early return of cancer in people who had surgery for colorectal cancer that spread to the liver. It may help guide future treatment decisions.
