Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Staging inadequately predicts metastatic risk in patients with colon cancer. We used a gene expression profile derived from invasive, murine colon cancer cells that were highly metastatic in an immunocompetent mouse model to identify patients with colon cancer at risk of recurrence. METHODS: This phase 1, exploratory biomarker study used 55 patients with colorectal cancer from Vanderbilt...
