Inclusion Criteria

To be eligible to participate in this study, a subject must meet all the following criteria:

•Histologically proven cT3-4, N0-2, M0 primary colon cancer, patients with rectal cancer will be excluded from this study. If there is uncertainty about the origin of the carcinoma (i.e. colon or rectum), it is up to the local treating physician to decide whether the patient is eligible. For tumours located in the rectosigmoid region, the decision of the local multidisciplinary team will determine if a patient is eligible for this study.
•?18 years
•Patient is able and willing to provide written informed consent for the CONNECTION- study
•Informed consent for PLCRC components ‘clinical data’, ‘tissue’ and ‘future studies’
•MSS based on pre-treatment biopsy by IHC
•Fit to undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy with capecitabine + oxaliplatin and subsequent surgery judged by the primary treating physician
•Adequate bone marrow, liver and renal function

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluation of the pathological tumour response to neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy per CMS subtype in patients with microsatellite stable high risk stage II and stage III colon cancer.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
•Evaluation of the radiological tumour response to neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy per CMS subtype.<br>•Assessment of prognostic value of pathological and radiological response to neoadjuvant systemic therapy for recurrence free survival (RFS) at three years. <br>•Assessment of differences in CMS classification before and after neoadjuvant systemic therapy.<br>•Assessment of pathologic response by Ki-67, Caspase-3 and cystatic-cytotoxic effects on HE-stained tissue slides. <br>•Evaluation of diagnostic accuracy of ctDNA measurements for monitoring treatment response to neoadjuvant treatment and detection of residual disease. <br>
