Flat Colorectal Cancers Are Genetically Determined and Progress to Invasion without Going through a Polypoid Stage

Abstract excerpt

Growing evidence suggests that flat colorectal cancers (CRC) account for 10% to 20% of all CRCs and that these are frequently associated with more advanced pathologies. However, controversy exists as to the origin and progression of flat CRCs compared with the more common polypoid-type morphology. We report using the azoxymethane mouse model for human CRC that KK/HIJ and I/LNJ mice develop different frequencies...
