21. Morphological Features and Mismatch Repair in Colorectal Tumors
Sammanfattning : Corlorectal cancer affects 5% of individuals in the Western world and heredity is estimated to cause at least 10% of the tumors. Defective mismatch repair (MMR) is a tumorigenic mechanism through which about 15% of colorectal cancer develops and this feature characterizes tumors associated with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC) or Lynch syndrome.

22. Molecular understanding of KRAS- and BRAF-mutated colorectal cancers
Sammanfattning : Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed malignancy in both men and women, and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. One frequently mutated pathway involved in oncogenesis in CRC is the RAS/RAF/MAP kinase pathway. LÄS MER
23. Thymidylate synthase expression and mismatch repair protein expression in colorectal cancer
Sammanfattning : The tumour, node, metastasis (TNM) system, with the current staging and risk stratification methods for prognostication in colorectal cancer (CRC) has its limitations. The need for additional validated prognostic and predictive markers is particularly important in CRC stage II and III as some of these patients can be cured by surgery alone. LÄS MER
