Relapse Markers for Colorectal Cancer

This is an observational case-control study which enroll metastatic and non-metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. The objective of this study is to evaluate a novel blood multi-marker test for the detection of relapse in colorectal cancer patients. This test is based on whole-blood transcriptomic signatures and circulating tumor methylated DNA markers. The patients will be enrolled into 4 study groups, two cross-sectional and two longitudinal groups, to follow up patients up to 36 months from primary tumor resection.
