Molecular Signatures of Saudi Colorectal Cancer
Profiles spatial and evolutionary genomic heterogeneity across primary colorectal tumors and metastases in Saudi patients.
01 / Project overview
What the record establishes.
- Geographic scope
- KFSHRC Saudi colorectal cancer cohort
- Project type
- Tumor evolution and multi-region sequencing cohort
- Research domain
- Colorectal cancer genomics
- Years
- Not stated
- Lifecycle status
- active
- Status basis
- The official page describes a planned 200-patient expansion; peer-reviewed Saudi CRC exome outputs demonstrate that sequencing has begun.
- Status evidence date
- 2026-08-15
- Scale
- Planned multi-region whole-exome sequencing in 200 patients; published precursor work includes exome data and a 30-patient, 191-tumor-region series.
02 / Organizations and population
Who and what the project connects.
- Lead organizations
- King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSHRC)
- Partner organizations
- Not stated
- Organism / population
- Saudi colorectal cancer patients with primary and metastatic tumor tissue
03 / Data and access
What exists and how it can be reached.
Data types
- multi-region whole-exome sequencing
- tumor phylogenetics
- clinicopathologic data
Data access
Not stated; institutional/controlled
Identifiers
No public accession or identifier is listed for this record.
04 / Evidence and provenance
Why the record is included.
Inclusion basis
Named continuing tumor-genomics cohort with a planned 200-patient series and peer-reviewed outputs.
Editorial note
Distinct from early-detection projects PROCSA and the Elkum multi-omics study, although institutional patient or laboratory overlap is possible.
