Sialic acid levels and colorectal cancer recovery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at how levels of sialic acid (a natural substance in your blood and stool) relate to tumor features and the risk of a leak where the bowel is reconnected after surgery. It aims to find a simple way to predict complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You had surgery to remove colorectal cancer at the study hospital.
- For the past part, you had your blood sialic acid measured before surgery.
- Complete records of your tumor after surgery are available.

This trial is testing a new method to check for leaks after colorectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if it helps prevent complications and improves recovery.
This trial studies the best way to treat anastomotic leaks—gaps or infections where the colon was reconnected—after colon cancer surgery. It aims to improve outcomes for patients who develop this complication.
This trial studies how metabolic syndrome (a mix of high blood pressure, diabetes, and other factors) changes after colorectal cancer surgery. It aims to understand why some people's metabolic syndrome gets better after their tumor is removed, which could lead to better treatments.
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 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.
This trial is studying how often leaks happen after colorectal surgery that connects two parts of the intestine. It may help doctors better understand and prevent this complication.
