First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 216 people with stage II or III colorectal cancer who had surgery to remove their tumor. Researchers compared two blood tests—one that looks for tumor DNA and another that looks for tumor cells—to see which better predicts if the cancer will come back within two years. No new treatment was given; the goal was simply to learn which test is more accurate.
