abstract: colorectal cancer (crc) is the third most common cancer in men and the second most common cancer in women worldwide. both genetic and epigenetic alterations are common in crc and are the driving force of tumorigenesis. chromosomal instability, microsatellite instability and cpg island methylator phenotype pathways are responsible for genetic instability in colorectal cancer. chromosom...

Genomic testing in colorectal cancer: how much is enough?

Colorectal cancer has been extensively molecularly characterized in recent years. In addition to furthering the understanding of biologic hallmarks of the disease, the ultimate goal of these studies has been to provide tools that would allow us to identify subgroups of colorectal cancer with prognostic and predictive implications, either for the anticipation of toxicity or for selection of the ...

Interest and informational preferences regarding genomic testing for modest increases in colorectal cancer risk.

BACKGROUND/AIMS This study explored the interest in genomic testing for modest changes in colorectal cancer risk and preferences for receiving genomic risk communications among individuals with intermediate disease risk due to a family history of colorectal cancer. METHODS Surveys were conducted on 272 men and women at intermediate risk for colorectal cancer enrolled in a randomized trial com...

Organizational determinants of patients' experiences of care for breast, lung and colorectal cancers

Organizational characteristics in English NHS hospitals and the experiences of patients with three common cancers - breast, colorectal and lung - were examined using secondary data analyses.
