Combined genetic and epigenetic analysis of sporadic colon cancer suggest that it can no longer be viewed as a single disease. There are at least three different subsets with distinct clinico-pathologic features, with important implications for preventions, screening, and therapy.
散发性结肠癌的基因和表观遗传联合分析表明,它不能再被视为单一疾病。至少存在三个具有不同临床病理特征的不同亚组,这对预防、筛查和治疗具有重要意义。
