Background: Chronic ulcerative colitis (UC) is associated with an increased colorectal cancer risk which may be secondary to repetitive mucosal injury. Both epigenetic methylation and the classic adenoma-to-carcinoma sequence have been implicated in this malignant transformation, but the underlying

## Abstract Statins, HMGβCoA reductase inhibitors could be associated with the risk reduction of colorectal cancer. We previously demonstrated that simvastatin inhibits NFβΞΊB signaling in human intestinal epithelial cells and ameliorates acute murine colitis. The aim of our study was to evaluate th
## Abstract There is increasing evidence that tumors elicit specific Tβcell responses in a substantial proportion of patients. Recently, we have shown that in patients with colorectal cancer specific T cells against the tumorβassociated antigens (TAA) EpβCAM, herβ2/neu or CEA can be detected in per
