Researchers want to understand why some patients with advanced colon cancer (called T4 colon cancer) have the cancer come back in the same area after surgery, even when the surgery is done well. This study will collect blood samples and fluid from around your organs during or after your colon cancer surgery to look for special markers that might predict which patients are at higher risk for recurrence.
Advanced colon cancer sometimes comes back locally even when doctors think they've removed it all. This study exists to find out why this happens and to develop better ways to predict and prevent recurrence in the future, which could help doctors treat patients more effectively.

If you join this study, researchers will collect samples of your blood and fluid from around your organs during or after your planned colon cancer surgery—this happens as part of your routine care. You'll also have your tissue samples and medical records reviewed to look for patterns that might help predict recurrence. The study involves no extra visits or procedures beyond your regular surgery and follow-up care.
