Expression data from 17 patients with colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease, with variable molecular pathogenesis, involving multiple genomic and epigenetic alterations. Despite the significant advances in the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer, it remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality, especially for countries in Northern America and Europe, as also in New Zealand & Australia. In this direction, the introduction of gene expression signatures derived from multiple layers of molecular & clinical dissection, may resolve the problems of heterogeneity and improve robust disease stratification
