Spanish Registry of Digestive Tumours RETUD

The aim of this observational study is to assess the current state of digestive tumours in Spain. By doing so, it seeks to enhance the quality of care, optimize the diagnosis and treatment of digestive tumours, and identify opportunities for improvement that can benefit patients. The study will investigate the epidemiological, biological, and clinical characteristics of digestive tumors diagnosed in patients aged 18 and older across healthcare centres in Spain. It also aims to generate knowledge and scientific evidence for events and situations that may impact on patients with digestive tumours (e.g. COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic). Furthermore, subject to the patient's consent, biological samples may be collected for use in translational research projects and for the identification of molecular markers that may be useful in healthcare decision-making.
