    Target Audience and Goal Statement: Oncologists, gastroenterologists, pathologists, hematologists
    The goal of this study was to examine if serial post-surgical and post-chemotherapy circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis could provide a real-time indication of adjuvant therapy efficacy in stage III colon cancer.
    Question Addressed:
    • Did a correlative biomarker study in patients with stage III colon cancer undergoing standard adjuvant chemotherapy demonstrate an association between post-surgical and post-chemotherapy ctDNA detection and risk of recurrence?/.../
