Interrogating Patient-level Genomics and Mouse Phenomics towards Understanding Cytokines in Colorectal Cancer Metastasis

Background: Colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer-related death worldwide and a majority of patients die from metastasis. Chronic intestinal inflammation plays an important role in tumor progression of colorectal cancer. However, few study works on systematically predicting colorectal cancer metastasis using inflammatory cytokine genes
