Genetic and epigenetic alterations of colorectal cancer.

TL;DR: Molecular subtypes of CRC will permit the implementation of precision medicine with better outcome of management for CRC and molecular classification of CRC subtype based on genetic or epigenetic biomarkers for treatment response and prognosis is summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aberrant DNA Methylation in Colorectal Cancer: What Should We Target?

TL;DR: Functional evidence of specific methylated genes contributing to CRC pathogenesis is examined, focusing on components of commonly deregulated signaling pathways and the mechanisms underpinning promoter methylation in CRC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of DNA Mismatch Repair and Mutations in BRAF and KRAS With Survival After Recurrence in Stage III Colon Cancers : A Secondary Analysis of 2 Randomized Clinical Trials.

TL;DR: In patients with recurrence of stage III colon cancer, deficient MMR was significantly associated with better SAR, and this benefit was limited to primary tumors of the proximal colon, and these biomarkers have implications for patient management at recurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effectors of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Pathway: The Genetic Profiling of KRAS, BRAF, PIK3CA, NRAS Mutations in Colorectal Cancer Characteristics and Personalized Medicine

TL;DR: This is the first large-scale retrospective study on comprehensive genetic profile which associated with anti-EGFR MoAbs treatment selection in East Asian CRC population, appeared a specific genotype distribution picture, and the results provided a better understanding between clinicopathological characteristics and gene mutations in CRC patients.
