ClinConnect Summary

The "Beyond TME Origins" clinical trial is studying patients who have experienced a recurrence of colorectal cancer in the pelvic area. The goal of the trial is to understand the risk factors that might lead to this recurrence by looking at patients' original staging scans and surgical samples. Additionally, the trial will use a special type of imaging called MRI to better assess the recurrence. Participants will be followed for three years to monitor their treatment and outcomes.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be at least 16 years old and have previously been diagnosed with colorectal adenocarcinoma, which is a type of cancer that starts in the lining of the colon or rectum. They should also have had surgery for their initial cancer and be able to undergo an MRI scan. Importantly, patients with certain types of advanced cancer that cannot be treated or those without the necessary medical records may not qualify. If you decide to participate, you will be contributing to valuable research that could help improve future treatments for colorectal cancer.
