In our Department we investigate molecular characteristics of solid cancers, especially of the colon, rectum, pancreas and ovaries. Within these studies we focus on the molecular epidemiological level in order :
1. to identify biomarkers of increased predisposition to tumour diseases,
2. enable early diagnostics,
3. assess individual responses to anti-tumour treatment,
4. determine long-term prognosis
The Department has been working with different types of biological material from a patients with cancer diseases, such as solid tissue, blood cells or plasma
