Summary

This multicenter prospective interventional study will evaluate stool and saliva microRNA expression and microbiome composition in patients with histologically confirmed colon or rectal cancer during key phases of the diagnostic and therapeutic pathway. The study aims to confirm and refine molecular signatures associated with colorectal cancer, assess the diagnostic and prognostic potential of salivary biomarkers, and characterize dynamic molecular changes during treatment and follow-up

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Prospective Biological Sample Collection and Longitudinal Molecular Profiling

Protocol-defined collection of stool and saliva samples at diagnosis/baseline, after neoadjuvant treatment when applicable, at surgery after bowel preparation, at the time of anastomotic leak when applicable, 30 days after surgery, at day 0 of chemotherapy when applicable, at the end of chemotherapy, and at recurrence. At the sponsor center, FFPE tissue and blood/plasma samples may also be collected. Molecular analyses include microbiome profiling, miRNA sequencing, and mutational profiling on FFPE tissue

OTHER

Diet and Lifestyle Assessment

Administration of the EPIC food frequency questionnaire and the WCRF diet/lifestyle score at diagnosis and approximately 1 year later, with integration of BMI and physical activity data.
