Trial Information

Summary: Multicenter Evaluation of Colon/Rectal Cancer Patterns and Outcomes of Care Within the National Comprehensive Cancer network (NCCN)

You have been asked to participate in this research study because you are being treated for colon/rectal cancer at the City of Hope and are over age 18.   The purpose of this research study is to collect data on subjects with colon/rectal cancer treated at City of Hope in order to evaluate patterns of care, how well treatment guidelines are followed, and treatment outcomes.  Another purpose is to collect and store blood samples of tumor samples from subjects with colon/rectal cancer so that biological characteristics can be related to clinical and treatment data, which might help in developing more specific and effective treatments.  In addition, data from some subjects will be sent to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) outcomes database that is used to evaluate patterns and results of care for colon/rectal cancer at participating NCCN institutions. Your participation in this study is expected to last indefinitely, as information will be obtained from your medical records throughout your lifetime.
