This is a study using a new test to help find the risk of cancer of the large bowel (colon) coming back after surgery.
Doctors usually treat cancer of the large bowel (colon) with surgery. After surgery your doctor may recommend chemotherapy if there is a high risk of your cancer coming back.
We know from research that it is not always clear what the risk of bowel cancer coming back is. So researchers are looking for better ways to find this out.
The researchers want to use a test that looks at the actions of in the cancer cells. The results may help to show the risk of the cancer coming back more accurately.
The aims of this study are to see if this test

This is an international study. It will recruit 810 people. Everyone taking part will have surgery to remove their bowel cancer. After surgery your doctor will treat you according to recommended national guidelines.
When you have surgery to remove your cancer, the doctor will send a small part of the cancer tissue to the study team. The study team will use a new test to look at how the genes in the cancer cells are working.
Neither you nor your doctor will know the results of this test.
There are no extra hospital visits if you take part in this study.
The side effects of your surgery will depend on how big your operation is. Your doctor will discuss this with you. There are no side effects from taking part in the trial itself.
We have more information about surgery for bowel cancer.
Please note: In order to join a trial you will need to discuss it with your doctor, unless otherwise specified.
