Colon cancer study links DNA repair to lymph node spread
NCT ID NCT06798857
First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study looked at 1,471 people with colon cancer to see if their tumor's DNA repair status (called MMR) affects how cancer spreads to lymph nodes and overall survival. Researchers compared two groups—those with normal repair (pMMR) and those with faulty repair (dMMR)—to find patterns that could help doctors decide who might need less extensive surgery. The goal was to better understand these relationships and improve treatment decisions.
