Summary
RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may
help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to
cancer. It may also help doctors select the best treatment for patients and predict their
response to treatment.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase II/III trial is studying how well tumor tissue testing works
in selecting treatment for patients with metastatic or locally advanced colorectal cancer.
