AI model aims to end guesswork in colorectal cancer chemo
NCT ID NCT07226115
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is developing a computer model that uses genetic information from tumors to predict whether a colorectal cancer patient will benefit from chemotherapy after surgery. The goal is to avoid giving chemo to those who won't respond and ensure those who need it get it. Researchers will analyze tumor samples from 200 patients with stage II or III colorectal cancer.
