Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Through enhancement of the Wnt signalling pathway, R-spondins are oncogenic drivers in colorectal cancer. Experimental data suggest that the R-spondin/Wnt axis stimulates vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-dependent angiogenesis. We therefore hypothesise that variations within R-spondin genes predict outcome in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) treated with upfront FOLFIRI and...
