Summary

This study tested a new, non-invasive way to monitor chemotherapy in people with advanced colorectal cancer. Researchers used special sensors to measure chemicals called nucleosides in patients' urine before and after treatment. The goal was to see if these urine levels could show how well the chemotherapy was working, without needing frequent blood tests or scans.
