Eur J Cancer . 2008 Aug; 45(3):365-73. PMID: 18722765
Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate if mismatch repair (MMR) defective colorectal cancer has a different response to adjuvant 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) chemotherapy in a cohort of patients...

Bessa X, Belen Balleste , Andreu M, Castells A, Bellosillo B, Balaguer F, et al.
Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol . 2007 Dec; 6(2):206-14. PMID: 18096441
Background & Aims: Mismatch repair (MMR) deficiencies are the hallmark of tumors arising in Lynch syndrome, however, in approximately 15% of sporadic colorectal cancers (CRC) these deficiencies most often are...

Belen Balleste , Bessa X, Pinol V, Castellvi-Bel S, Castells A, Alenda C, et al.
Dis Colon Rectum . 2007 May; 50(7):971-80. PMID: 17468913
Purpose: Patients with colorectal cancer have a high risk of developing metachronous neoplasms. Identification of predictive factors associated with such conditions would allow individualized follow-up strategies in these patients. This...

Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol . 2007 Mar; 5(3):379-87. PMID: 17368238
Background & Aims: Whereas it has conclusively been demonstrated that biallelic MutY human homolog (MYH) mutations confer a significant risk for colorectal cancer (CRC), the influence of monoallelic mutations remains...

J Natl Cancer Inst . 2007 Feb; 99(3):244-52. PMID: 17284719
Background: Colorectal tumors caused by failure of the DNA mismatch repair system commonly show microsatellite instability. Our goals were to compare the performance of two panels of markers (a panel...

Clin Cancer Res . 2006 Mar; 12(6):1686-92. PMID: 16551850
Background: Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) overexpression is a frequent but not universal event in colorectal cancer. It has been suggested that COX-2 protein expression is reduced in colorectal cancer with a...

Clin Cancer Res . 2005 Oct; 11(20):7304-10. PMID: 16243801
Purpose: Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is the commonest form of inherited colorectal cancer. Whereas it has been known that mismatch repair gene mutations are the underlying cause of HNPCC,...
