SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A major collaborative study carried out through an international consortium has, for the very first time, established a consensus classification for colorectal cancer (CRC) based on genomic data. The study partners collected over 4,000 samples from patients and reached a consensus on the genomic subtyping of CRC, which enabled the identification of intrinsic biological underpinnings of each subtype as well as correlative analysis with clinical behavior and prognosis of patients. The research, published in Nature Medicine, was coordinated by Justin Guinney from Sage Bionetworks in Seattle, and involved a large international team including co-authors Rodrigo Dienstmann from Vall d’Hebron, Spain; Louis Vermeulen from the Amsterdam Medical Center, the Netherlands; and Sabine Tejpar from UZ Leuven, Belgium.
