Conditions

Tumor Cells and Tumor Markers in Peritoneal Cavity

Keywords

colon and rectal tumors, colon cancer markers

Brief summary

The investigators hypothesize that the presence of tumor cells and tumor markers in peritoneal cavity are indicative for peritoneal spread during surgery, and may serve as early markers for systemic and/or intra-peritoneal recurrence of the disease and ultimately improve our understanding of tumor spread and disease recurrence.
