Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
By monitoring the serum ctDNA mutational profile using NGS, the present clinical trial aims to elucidate the correlation between the postoperative ctDNA status and the prognosis of patients with early and intermediate-stage colorectal cancer, and explore the possibility of clinical utility of serum ctDNA as a clinical index to predict postoperative relapse.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female ≥ 18 years of age on the day of signing informed consent. 2. Patients must have histologically confirmed stage II/IIIcolorectal cancer. 3. Patients need to receive surgical resection. 4. Patients must have a performance status of ≤1 on the ECOG Performance Scale. 5. Patients must have survival of \> 12 months after the index date 6. Written informed consent must be obtained from patient or patient's legal representative and ability for patient to comply with the requirements of the study. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients received adjuvant treatment prior to the surgical resection. 2. Patients received blood transfusion two weeks before or during the surgical resection. 3. Patients who are positive for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C. 4. Patients who are pregnant. 5. Patients who are alcoholic or drug abusers. 6. Patients with a history or current evidence of any condition or abnormality that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the patient's participation for the full duration of the study, or is not in the best interest of the patient to participate, in the opinion of the Investigator.
