Circulating Tumor DNA Guided Therapeutic Strategies for CRC Patients With Small Pulmonary Nodules
- Conditions
- Circulating Tumor DNAAdvanced Colorectal Cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT05495672
- Lead Sponsor
- Junjie Peng
- Brief Summary
The clinical diagnosis and treatment of small pulmonary nodules (suspected to be lung metastases) in advanced colorectal cancer patients remain controversy. Previous studies have shown that tumor-informed circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) blood testing can sensitively detect residual cancer. Postoperative ctDNA in colorectal cancer patients is a valuable biomarker to identify minimal residual disease (MRD) after radical resection, which is possibly useful in redefining the risk group of patients and guiding postoperative treatment. This study aimed to explore the clinical value of therapeutic strategies based on tumor-informed ctDNA test in advanved colorectal cancer patients with small pulmonary nodules.

- Primary lung cancer, GGO, tuberculosis and other non metastatic conditions were excluded after diagnosis by imaging consultation;
- Presence of metastasis other than lung;
- Insufficient organ function, such as severe abnormal hemogram, abnormal liver and kidney function;
- Any signs of severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases that the researcher believes may have a significant patient risk/benefit balance, including uncontrolled hypertension, severe infection, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus;
