Phase N/A

Overview

Developement of a clinical and biological database in colon cancer and colic tumors in order to better understand tumor invasion and metastatic scattering processes. The investigators hope that a better understanding of tumoral invasion process will lead to the discovery of new biomarkers and new drugs.

Description

As the second leading cause of cancer-related death in France, colorectal cancer is a major public health problem. Each year, 37 000 cases are newly diagnosed in France and 17 000 patients die of the disease.

Colorectal cancer is due to molecular and genetic damages involved in all tumorigenesis steps, transition from healthy tissue to adenoma and finally to invasive carcinoma stage. The investigators hope that a to better understand tumor invasion and metastatic scattering processes will allow therapeutic innovation and the emergence of new biomarkers.

However, the study of early tumorigenesis phases as well as advanced stages of the disease is currently limited due to a lack of tissue samples.

In this context, the Montpellier Cancer Institute (ICM) decided to initiate a biological collection dedicated to the tissular and blood samples of patients with colorectal cancer.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
