Genetic characterization of colorectal cancer using a next generation sequencing approach to identify a specific pattern of somatic alterations in tumors arising from different anatomic sites
2016-01-20
Abstract excerpt
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with nearly 1.4 million new cases diagnosed in 2012. CRC results from the accumulation of multiple genetic and epigenetic aberrations. Tumor localization in the large intestine tract determines different surgical approaches and treatment options. Considering the heterogeneous nature of these tumors we hypothesized that different...
