## Abstract Metastatic spread to the liver is the major contributor to mortality in patients with colorectal carcinoma (CRC). In order to seek for gene expression patterns associated with metastatic potential in primary CRC, we compared the transcriptional profiles of 10 radically resected primary

## Abstract Microsatellite instability characterizes a subβset of sporadic colorectal cancers (CRCs) as well as CRCs from patients with hereditary nonβpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). In order to clarify when the cells acquire a replicationβerror phenotype (RER) during colorectalβtumor progress
β€-catenin plays a fundamental role in the regulation of the E-cadherin-catenin cell adhesion complex. It also functions in growth signalling events, independently of the cadherincatenin complex, and these signalling pathways are disturbed in colorectal cancer. Mutations in either the APC or β€-cateni
