Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: * Age >= 21 years * A history of histologically confirmed (metastatic) colorectal adenocarcinoma * Currently diagnosed with (progressive) colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) * Signed informed consent

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: * Patients who are treated and having a response on preoperative chemotherapy, as this may have an effect on the investigated biomarker load * Illiteracy and/or insufficient proficiency of the Dutch language * Known medical history of superficial or deep skin infection after venipuncture or intravenous line that required antibiotic treatment and or hospital admittance * Known medical history of immunodeficiency or current use of medical immunosuppressants * Known medical history of blood-borne diseases such as, but not limited to, the human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis and viral hemorrhagic fever

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary endpoint of the study is the agreement between ctDNA measurements in venous versus capillary blood to determine the feasibility of ctDNA analysis through automated capillary blood sampling.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Next to agreement, we will also determine the correlation between ctDNA levels in venous and capillary blood.
