Clinical Trial: Reporting of Tumour Deposits in Colorectal Cancer by Radiology and Pathology

U.S., Jan. 16 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07345273) titled 'Reporting of Tumour Deposits in Colorectal Cancer by Radiology and Pathology' on Dec. 08, 2025.

Brief Summary: Recent research shows that tumour deposits-small spots of cancer found near the main bowel tumour-may give doctors important information about how aggressive the cancer is and how likely it is to come back.

Doctors can find tumour deposits either:
