Colorectal Cancer

A research team from the Prodi Centre for Protein Diagnostics at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) has used infrared (IR) microscopes based on quantum cascade lasers to classify tissue samples of colorectal cancer from routine clinical operations in a marker-free and automated way. Artificial intelligen more

Some bacterial pathogens cause damage in the genomes of their infected cells which could lead to the initiation of cancer. While it is difficult to link an infection with an onset of cancer that arises many years later in life, researchers have been looking for definitive proof that such links reall more

One of the main features of colorectal cancer is that there are considerable differences between the tumors of individual patients - at genetic level and hence in terms of the response to treatment too. Researchers from the German Cancer Consortium (DKTK) have developed a method that allows these di more

Colorectal cancer patients often relapse due to resistance to chemotherapy. The tumor microenvironment is known to contribute to tumor aggressiveness and chemoresistance, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. In the current study, we have shown that cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) which more
