A human colon cancer cell capable of initiating tumour growth in immunodeficient mice

TL;DR: The identification of colon cancer stem cells that are distinct from the bulk tumour cells provides strong support for the hierarchical organization of human colon cancer, and their existence suggests that for therapeutic strategies to be effective, they must target the cancer stem Cells.

TL;DR: It is found that frequent and diverse somatic aberrations in genes described traditionally as embryonic regulators of axon guidance, particularly SLIT/ROBO signalling, are also evident in murine Sleeping Beauty transposon-mediated somatic mutagenesis models of pancreatic cancer, providing further supportive evidence for the potential involvement ofAxon guidance genes in pancreatic carcinogenesis.

Defective Mismatch Repair As a Predictive Marker for Lack of Efficacy of Fluorouracil-Based Adjuvant Therapy in Colon Cancer

TL;DR: Data support MMR status assessment for patients being considered for FU therapy alone and consideration of MMR status in treatment decision making and patient stratification by MMR status may provide a more tailored approach to colon cancer adjuvant therapy.
