MRD-Guided Surveillance in Operable Colon Adenocarcinoma (I-III)(SURVEILLANCE-I)
Sponsor: Fudan University
Summary
This study aims to explore the relationship between minimal residual disease (MRD) status and disease recurrence in patients with stage I-III operable colon adenocarcinoma. MRD refers to the presence of cancer cells that remain in the body after treatment but are undetectable by traditional imaging methods. The study will use a blood-based test to detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and assess its ability to predict cancer recurrence and survival outcomes. Patients who are newly diagnosed with stage I-III colon adenocarcinoma and are eligible for surgery will be enrolled. Blood samples will be collected at multiple time points, including before surgery, after surgery, and during follow-up visits over three years. The study will compare MRD status with recurrence-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), and the time it takes for MRD to detect recurrence compared to standard imaging methods. The goal is to determine whether MRD monitoring can provide early warning of cancer recurrence and help guide treatment decisions. This study may offer valuable insights into improving postoperative surveillance and personalized treatment strategies for colon cancer patients.
