Gastrointestinal (GI) SPOREs
SPOREs in GI cancers focus on translational research in gastrointestinal
system, including cancers of the colon, rectum, stomach, esophagus, small
intestine, liver, gallbladder and other digestive organs. Over 253,500
newly diagnosed cases of cancer in the digestive system, and 136,060 deaths,
will be expected in the United States in the year 2005, as American Cancer
Society estimates. Cancers of the colon, rectum, and pancreas account
for the majority of new diagnoses. The GI SPORE program was expanded in
the year 2002 from two to four funded SPOREs. Currently, two GI SPOREs
focus on colorectal cancers, and other two work on the cancers of colon,
rectal, esophageal, and pancreas.
