First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether certain bacteria in your stool can help predict if colon cancer will come back after surgery. Researchers will collect stool and blood samples from 107 adults before and after their surgery. They want to see if bacteria that break down collagen are linked to cancer returning, especially in people with certain diets. This is an observational study, not a treatment, and aims to better understand the role of bacteria in cancer recurrence.
