Summary

This study aims to improve how doctors determine the stage of colon cancer before surgery and decide who should receive chemotherapy beforehand. Researchers are analyzing blood samples from 400 colon cancer patients to find specific molecules (exosomal microRNAs) that can be combined with machine learning to predict tumor aggressiveness. The goal is to create a more accurate tool than current methods, helping tailor treatment to each patient's risk.
