Some host-related factors may predict the risk of metastasis after surgery of colorectal cancer (CRC). The endothelial adhesion molecule E-selectin is implicated in the metastatic spread of CRC. We postulated that some polymorphisms within the E-selectin gene, especially the S128R polymorphism, may increase the risk of metastases by facilitating adhesion of tumour cells to the endothelium. We collected blood...
