Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a prospective, open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial, by monitoring the serum ctDNA mutational profile using NGS, aiming to elucidate the correlation between the postoperative ctDNA status and the assisted diagnosis, early intervention and prognosis for colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases.
