    About This Study

    The purpose of this study is to help us learn more about using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) results to decide what chemo to offer patients after colon cancer surgery. ctDNA is DNA that has been released from tumor cells into your blood. Finding ctDNA in your blood means that there are likely small amounts of cancer after surgery. This study will help us find out if using ctDNA results to decide on treatment is better than the usual approach.

    Need volunteers diagnosed with Stage IIb, IIC or III colon cancer that has been treated with surgery. Study team will discuss study details with you.
