Is the Distance of Patients From Rouen University Hospital Influencing the Time Between Colectomy and First Chemotherapy Cure for Colon Cancer?

This project has for objective to demonstrate that the increase of the distance "Patient home - center of treatment" may be associated with significant, other noticeable, noted events. This distance may also be available in the Rouen University Hospital. The study of the association in this distance and the delay in initiating chemotherapy after surgery in patients treated at the CHU correspond to a pilot study prior to the completion of the analysis at the regional scale.

Clinical Validation of an MCED Test in Symptomatic Populations (K-ACCELERATE)

To evaluate the diagnostic performance of blood-based SPOT-MAS test in symptomatic individuals, the investigators sought to launch a prospective multicenter study, named K-ACCELERATE. The study aims to recruit 1,000 participants who develop symptoms and signs specific to the top five common cancer types including breast, colorectal, gastric, liver and lung cancer. Primary objective: Evaluate the performance of the SPOT-MAS test in detecting cancer in symptomatic populations. Secondary objectives: Evaluate the feasibility of incorporating SPOT-MAS as a triage test into primary care to increase the detection rates of malignant cancer while minimizing unnecessary referrals to invasive procedures.

Clinical and Biological Database in Colon Cancer and Colic Tumors

Developement of a clinical and biological database in colon cancer and colic tumors in order to better understand tumor invasion and metastatic scattering processes. The investigators hope that a better understanding of tumoral invasion process will lead to the discovery of new biomarkers and new drugs.
