Pathology and Clinical Practice

Colon Cancer

Colon carcinoma or colorectal cancer is the fourth most frequent diagnosed cancer and the second leading and the common cause of cancer death around the world.  The isolation, identification, characterization and detection of tumour genic colon cancer cells may help to devise identification and therapeutic methods. The colorectal cancer is created and can be propagated by a small number of undifferentiated tumour genic cells; therefore it should be the target of future therapies.
