Brief summary
In this translational research study, Formalin-Fixed-Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue blocks from patients with early-stage (II-III) colorectal cancer will be assessed for a comprehensive cancer gene panel from NIPD Genetics (https://www.nipd.com/) targeting regions in 37 clinically relevant cancer genes. The colorectal cancer panel includes an extended list of clinically relevant genes, designed to target clinically actionable and clinically significant mutations that will provide physicians with genetic information regarding a) prediction of the patient's response to targeted therapy, b) prognosis, that is, prediction of clinical outcome, c) diagnosis and molecular classification of colorectal cancer.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| association between gene mutational status and overall survival | 24 months | the time from diagnosis to the date of death (from any cause). Alive patients and patients lost to follow-up will be censored at the date of last follow-up |
| association between gene mutational status and disease-free survival | 24 months | the time from colorectal cancer diagnosis to the first date of documented disease progression, death or last contact, whichever occurs first |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Descriptives | 24 months | Association of any gene mutation tumor pathological stages. |
