Adjuvant Therapy
Description for experts
This phase II/III trial studies how well circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) testing in the blood works in predicting treatment for patients with stage IIA colon cancer after surgery. ctDNA are circulating tumor cells that are shed by tumors into the blood. Finding ctDNA in the blood means that there is very likely some small amounts of cancer that remain after surgery. However, this cancer, if detected, cannot be found on other tests usually used to find cancer, as it is too small. Testing for ctDNA levels may help identify patients with colon cancer after surgery who do benefit, and those who do not benefit, from receiving chemotherapy.

Allerdings kann dieser Krebs, wenn er gefunden wird, nicht mit anderen Tests gefunden werden, die normalerweise zum Auffinden von Krebs verwendet werden, da er zu klein ist. Der Test auf ctDNA-Werte kann helfen, Patienten mit Darmkrebs nach der Operation zu identifizieren, die von einer Chemotherapie profitieren, und solche, die nicht davon profitieren.",
