Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Although adjuvant chemotherapy improves survival after curative resection, its efficacy varies widely among patients. The absence of reliable predictive biomarkers often leads to overtreatment or undertreatment. This study aims to develop a machine learning-based predictive model for adjuvant chemotherapy response using tumor-derived alternative splicing signatures. By integrating RNA-seq data, splicing isoform and clinical outcomes, this study seeks to identify molecular predictors of treatment response and recurrence risk after surgery.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study uses an artificial intelligence tool that analyzes how genes are "spliced" (processed) in tumor tissue to predict how well a patient responded to chemotherapy after surgery for colorectal cancer. It is a research study using stored tissue samples, not a treatment trial. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with stage II or III colorectal cancer (colon or rectal cancer) - You received standard chemotherapy after surgery to remove the tumor - There is stored tumor tissue (before chemotherapy) available for analysis - You are between 18 and 80 years old - There is enough follow-up data about your cancer outcomes **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have inflammatory bowel disease - Your tumor tissue is not available or the sample quality is poor - You did not consent to tissue use Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
