Identification of the Prognostic Factors of Stage II Colon Cancer Patients Receiving Adjuvant Chemotherapy With UFT
RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue in the laboratory from patients with cancer may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict which patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at prognostic factors in patients receiving tegafur-uracil for stage II colon cancer that was completely removed by surgery.

Conditions
- Colorectal Cancer
Interventions
- UFT adjuvant chemotherapy
Primary outcomes
- mRNA levels — 9years
mRNA levels of patients are analyzed by the Danenberg tumor profile (DTP) method in the following indicators: thymidylate synthase (TS), dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), thymidine phosphorylase (TP), orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRT), folylpolyglutamate synthetase (FPGS) vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) mRNA levels.
