Funded Activity Summary

Cancers of the stomach and the colon are a major health burden. Despite our increased molecular understanding of the mutation that cause these cancers our treatment options are very limited. Here we will use sophisticated and validated mouse models for these cancers to establish how blood-borne cells contribute to the growth and spreading of these cancer. We will use these models to establish highly effective treatment combinations of therapeutic agents that are already undergoing preclinical testing.
