Core Tip

Core tip: Recent progress in the therapeutic treatment of colorectal cancer has resulted from targeting the hallmark stem cell-like properties of tumor cells. The survival of colorectal cancer patients has been significantly prolonged with bevacizumab, which inhibits angiogenesis providing the proliferative conditions for tumor cell growth. Personalized therapeutic approaches, centered on the angiogenic and proliferative properties of cancerous cells, could improve patient survival and decrease adverse effects induced by unnecessary chemotherapy.
