Study Overview

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and tumor tissue in the laboratory from patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy may help doctors understand the effect of chemotherapy on biomarkers. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This phase IV trial is studying biomarkers in patients undergoing chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Research the oncogenetic parameters and pharmacogenetic and pharmacokinetic predictors of therapeutic response and toxic effects.

Secondary

  • Study the correlations between the pharmacogenetic and pharmacokinetic parameters.
  • Study the predictive value of these parameters on disease-free and overall survival.
