Open AccessInvolvement of circulating CEA in liver metastases from colorectal cancers re-examined in a new experimental model
Both experimental and clinical data show evidence of a correlation between elevated blood levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and the development of liver metastases from colorectal carcinomas. However, a...

Open AccessTP53 mutations predict disease control in metastatic colorectal cancer treated with cetuximab-based chemotherapy
Recent studies have suggested that activation of the EGFR pathway leads to malignant transformation only if the p53 protein is inactivated. Therefore, we evaluated the impact of TP53 mutations on cetuximab-based ...
