The ADVANCED project
should open a new perspective for
the treatment of high-grade colorectal tumors by delving into the logic of
malignantly altered tissue and understanding the phenomenon of repopulation of
tumor masses as a response to cell death, the so-called Phoenix raising pathway.
Since the main drivers of this phenomenon are inflammatory mediator molecules,
we will seek a potential therapeutic in a group of newly developed
anti-inflammatory molecules or hybrid compounds consisting of anti-inflammatory
drugs and chemotherapeutics.
