Colorectal Cancer

Brief summary

Prospective research of circulating tumor cells as markers of progression risk in colorectal cancer.

Detailed description

This study aims at allowing a better understanding of which circulating tumor cells (CTC) have the higher risk of metastasis of in the overall population of CTC. Prospective monocenter open-label study. In the frame of the management of the disease, blood samples will be collected at different times of treatment, regarding disease status (localized of stage II/III, metastatic non resectable, metastatic potentially resectable). Tissue samples will be collected for patients scheduled for surgery.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluation of CTC featuresGroup 1: at surgery, 4 (+/- 1) weeks post-surgery, at progression. Group 2: before chemotherapy, after 4 months treatment (responders), at progression. Group 3: before neoadjuvant surgery, at surgery, 4 (+/- 1) weeks post-surgery, at progression.Changes in the number of CTC with high risk to form metastasis, defined as an aggregation of phenotypic, molecular and functional characteristics.
