Summary

This study looks at stool and saliva samples from 2,500 people with colorectal cancer to find patterns in bacteria and genetic material (microRNA) that could help diagnose the disease earlier or predict how it will progress. Researchers will track these patterns over time, from diagnosis through treatment and follow-up. The goal is to create a detailed map of these molecular changes to improve future screening and care.
