Comparison of Molecular-Genetic Concordance of the Primary Tumor and Brain Metastases of Colorectal Cancer
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
GENCONCOR-1 study is translational research aimed to investigate the concordance of the molecular genetic profile of the primary tumor and brain metastases (BM) of colorectal cancer (CRC). The study was conducted by post hoc analysis of pairs of samples of histological material with determination of the mutational status of genes KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, HER2 and MSI.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Men and women over 18 years of age. 2. Histologically confirmed cancer of the colon or rectum. 3. Histologically confirmed metastatic lesion of the brain. 4. Neurosurgical resection for brain metastases of colorectal cancer. 5. Presence of paired tumor samples (both primary tumor and intracranial material). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Missing one sample from a pair of tumor samples. 2. Low quality or lack of tumor material for molecular genetic research.
