Key inclusion criteria

1. Histological Diagnosis: Histopathologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of colorectal cancer.
2. Primary Tumor Location and Resection: The primary tumor is located in the colon (cecum, colon, sigmoid rectum) or rectum and has been resected. Appendiceal and anal canal cancers are excluded.
3. Liver Metastases: No distant metastases other than liver metastases, and curative hepatectomy is planned for the first time. Cases involving systemic chemotherapy enabling curative liver resection (conversion therapy) are also eligible.
4. Age: 20 years or older at the time of consent acquisition.
5. Performance Status: ECOG PS of 0 or 1.
6. Informed Consent: Written informed consent for study participation was obtained from the patient.

Key exclusion criteria

1. Active Double Cancer: Active overlapping cancers at the time of hepatectomy. Exceptions include: (a) relapse-free period of more than 5 years, (b) localized cancers cured through local treatment (e.g., basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial bladder cancer, cervical cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ, or mucosal carcinoma), or (c) non-metastatic prostate cancer not requiring systemic treatment.
2. Pregnancy or Breastfeeding: Pregnancy or lactation at the time of the study.
3. Serious Complications: Patients with severe comorbidities that could affect the safety or proper implementation of the study.
4. Viral Infections: Positive for HBs antigen, HCV antibody, or HIV antibody.
5. Medical Inappropriateness: Deemed unsuitable for the study by the attending physician.

Clinical data, including patient demographics, treatment details, and outcomes, will be collected in a secure, anonymized database. All ctDNA results will remain blinded to treating physicians throughout the study, preventing potential bias in clinical decision-making and ensuring the validity of the study outcomes. Plasma samples will be processed and analyzed at a centralized laboratory to ensure consistency, with stringent quality control measures implemented to maintain data integrity. These measures include duplicate analyses for key samples, standardized protocols for DNA extraction and sequencing, and regular calibration of laboratory equipment to ensure reproducibility and reliability.
