Project description:To further development of our gene expression, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling. Human cord blood CD34+ cells from healthy donors was cultured for 2 days with or without SL-13R.
Project description:RATIONALE: Diagnostic imaging procedures, such as fludeoxyglucose F 18 PET, may be effective in detecting cancer or recurrence of cancer, or premalignant polyps.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying fludeoxyglucose F 18-PET imaging to see how well it works in determining protein and gene expression signatures in patients with premalignant polyps or colon cancer.
