U-M, Israeli scientists report major advance in search for genes associated with colon cancer
A 10-year study involving thousands of Israeli Jews and Arabs, led by researchers from American and Israeli institutions, has yielded important new information in the search for the genes that make a person more likely to develop colon cancer. view more (2007-07-09)
'1-hit' event provides new opportunity for colon cancer prevention, say Fox Chase researchers
More than 30 years ago, Alfred Knudson Jr., M.D., Ph.D., revolutionized the field of cancer genetics by showing that a person must lose both their paternal and maternal copies of a particular class of cancer-inhibiting genes, called tumor-suppressor genes, in order to develop cancer. view more (2008-09-15)
CT colonography offers 1-stop screening for cancer and osteoporosis
New research reveals that computed tomography (CT) colonography, also known as virtual colonoscopy, has the potential to screen for two diseases at once-colorectal cancer and osteoporosis, both of which commonly affect adults over age 50. view more (2008-12-02)

1 surgery better than 2 for some colorectal cancer patients
A single surgery to remove cancer from both the colon and the liver to which it has spread may be better in some cases than the current standard treatment of two separate surgeries with chemotherapy in between, according to a study led by Duke University Medical Center researchers. view more (2007-03-19)
REG1A and its receptor EXTL3 are prognostic markers for colorectal cancer recurrence
Two genes, known as REG1A and EXTL3, are overexpressed in colorectal tumors of patients who are at high risk of recurrence, according to a new study from the Max Delbrueck Center in Berlin, Germany. view more (2006-09-14)

Gaps in colorectal cancer screening persist between whites and non-whites
Colorectal cancer screening among patients with Medicare coverage is increasing, but a persistent gap remains between whites - who are screened most frequently - and all other racial and ethnic groups, according to a new study by researchers at UC Davis and the University of Washington. The study also showed that the biggest gap is between whites... view more... (2009-02-19)
