Role of Eicosanoids in Intestinal Biology

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to see how the DNA methylation (a biochemical process involved in cell development) is activated during initial tumor growth and tumor progression. In order to look at this in patients with colorectal cancer or adenoma we must look at their tissue collected during surgery. Fresh tissue is required in order to study the primary cells in culture.
