Description
This study is being done to find out if testing for ctDNA (circulating tumor DNA) in the blood and offering additional chemotherapy for those who test “positive” is better or worse than the usual approach for early stage colon cancer that has been treated with surgery only. We are also doing this study to see if the ctDNA test can identify patients with colon cancer after surgery who do benefit, and also those who do not benefit, from receiving chemotherapy. The usual approach in this situation for most people with early-stage colon cancer is surgery alone.
