Could a simple acid test predict surgery leaks in colorectal cancer?
NCT ID NCT07189663
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study will check if sialic acid levels in blood and stool are linked to tumor features and the risk of post-surgery leaks in colorectal cancer patients. Researchers will review past records of about 1,468 patients and also collect stool samples for microbiome analysis. The goal is to find new ways to prevent poor healing after surgery.
