ALFAOMEGA-RETRÒ, the retrospective "mirror" protocol of ALFAOMEGA (protocol n. IFOM-CPO003/2018/PO002), has been designed to build a retrospective collection of clinically annotated data and biological samples retrieved from colorectal cancer patients (CRC).
The repository will feed experimental precision research aimed at i) defining a new taxonomy of CRC based on evolutionary patterns (retrospectively assessed on patient's samples), ii) developing and evaluating innovative biomarker-specific therapeutic strategies derived from or together with ALFAOMEGA.
The following data and biological samples will be collected:
* Clinical Data (Demographics, Medical History, Cancer Diagnosis \& History, Treatment Assessment,).
* Imaging Data (CT-Scans, MRI, PET...).
* Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) tissue (either from surgical resections or diagnostic biopsies).
* Frozen biological samples (blood, plasma, PBMC, stools, buccal swabs, urines, etc.).
