AB Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents the third most diagnosed cancer type worldwide,accounting for more than 600.000 deaths in 2012, which approximately represents 8,5% of allcancer-related deaths. It arises from the inner intestinal layer, usually from preexisting polypsthat, after a series of molecular and genetic alterations, finally generate colorectal tumors. It isvery important to consider that in CRC patients, the appearance of cancer metastasis, tumormasses that originate from primary tumors at distant sites, strongly determine patient prognosis.Only 8-10% of patients diagnosed with CRC at advanced stages survive after five years offollow up, which reinforces the importance of metastasis research to improve patientmanagement and survival rates in CRC.
