Summary

RATIONALE: Analyzing the structure of genes found in a person's cancer cells may help doctors improve methods of treating patients with colon cancer. PURPOSE: Clinical trial to study the genes of patients treated with chemotherapy for colon cancer.

Detailed description

OBJECTIVES: * Determine the relationship between disease free survival, overall survival, and tumor replication error status for patients who have received adjuvant chemotherapy for colon cancer on CALGB protocol 8896. * Determine the prognostic and predictive values for response to this therapy in these patients.
