Impact of chromosome 17q deletion in the primary lesion of colorectal cancer on liver metastasis

Abstract: Abstract. Colorectal cancer is a prevalent malignancy worldwide, and investigations are required to elucidate the underlying carcinogenic mechanisms. Amongst these mechanisms, de novo carcinogenesis and the adenoma to carcinoma sequence, are the most understood. Metastasis of colorectal cancer to the liver often results in fatality, therefore, it is important for any associated risk factors to be identified. Regarding the treatment of the disease, it is important to manage not only the primary colorectal tumor… Show more

“…Moreover, in this study, we demonstrated the feasibility of accurate detection of LOH using MS. Since also other chromosome deletions could become relevant for glioma diagnosis, such as 10q loss in GBMs or 9p loss in ODGs [ 20 , 29 ], and, furthermore, deletions are also an important marker of genomic instability in other cancer types [ 40 42 ], the results using the MS approach in this study provide proof of principle for its future clinical application.…”

“…Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed malignancy and the fourth most frequent cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide [ 1 ]. Previous evidence has indicated that liver and lung metastases were quite common in metastatic CRC (mCRC), accounting for approximately 20–30% of all patients when initially diagnosed [ 2 ]. As the understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying tumorigenesis and progression of CRC develops, genetic analyses and targeted therapy have already become popular alternatives, representing a significant landmark towards individually tailored treatment.…”

“…NM23 is a candidate gene on the 17q chromosomal region. Increased expression of NM23 is associated with a better prognosis in colorectal cancer and breast cancer, whereas deletion in the 17q chromosomal region predicts occurrence of liver metastasis in colorectal cancer [15].…”

“…Furthermore, meningiomas with gains of the 17q chromosomal region are also known to show a more aggressive behavior and a higher recurrence rate than meningiomas without this aberration. If there is an increased expression of the oncogene ERBB2 on the chromosomal region 17q, a shorter progression free survival in colorectal cancer is described [15, 16].…”
