Colon cancer clues: DNA repair status may guide surgery decisions
NCT ID NCT06798857
First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This completed study looked at 1,471 colon cancer patients to see how their tumor's DNA repair status (pMMR vs dMMR) relates to lymph node spread and survival. Researchers hope to identify patients who might not need extensive lymph node removal. The study is observational and does not test a new treatment.
