Molecular Profiling of Colorectal Cancer

In this translational research study, Formalin-Fixed-Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue blocks from patients with early-stage (II-III) colorectal cancer will be assessed for a comprehensive cancer gene panel from NIPD Genetics (https://www.nipd.com/) targeting regions in 37 clinically relevant cancer genes. The colorectal cancer panel includes an extended list of clinically relevant genes, designed to target clinically actionable and clinically significant mutations that will provide physicians with genetic information regarding a) prediction of the patient's response to targeted therapy, b) prognosis, that is, prediction of clinical outcome, c) diagnosis and molecular classification of colorectal cancer.
