Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Objectives:
1. Validation of predictive value of known markers CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) and microsatellite instability (MSI) in the response to 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy in patients with stage III colorectal cancer.
2. Exploratory evaluation of the potential predictive values of known genetic variations including, but not limited to, KRAS mutations, BRAF mutations, PIK3A mutations, and EGFR mutations, etc.
3. Exploratory identification and evaluation of the predictive value of novel methylation aberrations identified by whole-genome bisulfite sequencing.
4. Exploratory identification and evaluation of the predictive value of novel genetic aberrations discovered by RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) or genome-wide association study (GWAS).
Outline:
Blood is collected at baseline and examined for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and expression level of specific gene. Tumor and corresponding normal tissue at surgical resection and assessed for gene methylations, mutations, and expressions.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Adjuvant chemotherapy
Samples from patients with stage III colorectal cancer who are going to receive fluorouracil-based adjuvant chemotherapy will be used for gene mutations analysis, gene methylation analysis, gene expression analysis, SNP analysis, and protein expression analysis.
Gene mutations analysis
Genomic DNA extracted from paired fresh-frozen tumor and normal tissues is used for KRAS mutations, BRAF mutations, PIK3A mutations, and EGFR mutations, etc., by sequencing and for MSI analysis by PCR and capillary electrophoresis.
Gene methylation analysis
Genomic DNA extracted from paired fresh-frozen tumor and normal tissues is used for specific gene methylation or CIMP status analysis by MethyLight or bisulfite sequencing. Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing will be used to identify novel candidate set of predictive markers.
Gene expression analysis
RNA extracted from paired fresh-frozen tumor and normal tissues or serum is used for specific gene expression analysis by real-time reverse-transcription PCR (RT-qPCR). RNA-seq will be used to identify novel candidate set of predictive markers.
SNP analysis
Genomic DNA extracted from serum is used for specific SNP analysis by using sequencing. GWAS with SNPs array will be used to identify novel candidate set of predictive markers.
Protein expression analysis
Tissue microarray made from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) paired tumor and normal tissues is used for specific protein expression analysis by immunohistochemistry staining.
