DR-058 The genomic landscape of metastatic colorectal cancer and its predictive potential.

The treatment of inoperable metastatic colorectal cancer consists of systemic treatment through chemotherapy with or without additional targeted treatment. Until now, no good model exists to provide personalized treatment and to predict which treatment could benefit individual patients the most. With this project we aim to reveal the genetic landscape of metastatic colorectal cancer. This will not only lead to an increased knowledge of the metastatic disease, but it will provide new information on the possible predictive potential of this information. With this combined knowledge we want to improve personalized medicine options for patients with metastasized colorectal cancer.
