Invasiveness and Chemoresistance of Cancer Stem Cells in Colon Cancer: Molecular Characterization and Implications for Therapeutic Strategies
Secondary objectives include:
- Determine the intrinsic properties essential for the dissemination and chemoresistance
of these cells capable of initiating tumors
- Identify a "molecular signature" for potential invasiveness and chemoresistance of
cells initiating metastases.
- Describe the evolution of patients during 24 months of follow up and correlations with
observed cellular profiles.
- Enrich the tumor bank of the institution.
Observational
Observational Model: Cohort, Time Perspective: Prospective
Ability to maintain the cells isolated from colorectal tumors in culture or 3D collagen matrices and then infect these cells to make them express reporter genes: yes/no.
