colon cancer

A research team led by Cecília Rodrigues, from the Research Institute for Medicines (iMed.ULisboa), Faculty of Pharmacy, Universidade de Lisboa, has identified a new molecular pathway underlying the maintenance of stem cell-like features in colon cancer cells. This study was published in Cell Death Discovery. The presence of cancer stem cells within tumors, including those from the colon and rectum, is associated with increased therapy resistance and worse clinical outcomes.
