Blood test to monitor colon cancer after surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial uses a simple blood test to look for tiny bits of tumor DNA after colon cancer surgery. If found, it may help doctors catch any remaining cancer early and guide further treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have stage I, II, or III colon cancer that can be removed with surgery.
- You have not had any chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted therapy before surgery.
- Your tumor has at least one specific gene change (KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, or PIK3CA).
- You are generally healthy and able to follow study procedures.

This study uses a simple blood test to detect cancer DNA after surgery for early-stage colon cancer. The goal is to help doctors decide whether chemotherapy is truly needed based on the blood test results, rather than giving it to everyone.
This study checks a special blood test (circulating tumor DNA methylation) to help guide follow-up after surgery for non-metastatic colon cancer. It may help find whether additional treatment or closer monitoring is needed based on the test results.
This study helps doctors decide whether you need chemotherapy after colon cancer surgery by checking for cancer DNA in your blood. The goal is to give chemotherapy only to patients who truly need it, based on what the blood test shows.
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 tracks a simple blood test to look for tiny traces of cancer DNA after stomach cancer surgery. It aims to see if this test can catch any cancer coming back early, so you can get treatment sooner.
