A Longitudinal Study of Colorectal Cancer Patients With Metastatic Disease in Middle-Norway
NCT02395224
Observational
Unknown status
The main objective is to provide original research results that may change clinical practice related to metastatic colorectal cancer. The study will evaluate treatment and patient care at different stages of the disease trajectory and the use of health care for this large group of patients. It will be possible to compare the effectiveness of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and symptomatic treatment given to "real life" patients with the efficacy reported in randomised clinical trials. By using longitudinal information on imaging, biomarkers, clinical staging and place of care it will be possible to improve patient classification at various stages of the disease. Based on this, a more appropriate, individualized treatment for colorectal cancer may be recommended during the phases of the disease trajectory. Participation in this project will not influence the treatment for colorectal cancer. All patients will be treated and followed-up according to current regional and national guidelines.
