Abstract excerpt
Iron can play a role in colorectal cancer (CRC) development. The expression of genes involved in iron metabolism and its regulation in CRC has not been investigated well. Also the correlation between the level of iron-related genes expression and cancer progression is not known. In this study we collected paired samples of primary adenocarcinoma and adjacent normal mucosa from 73 patients. We assessed the mRNA or...
