Description
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States, and research advances over the past 20 years have allowed us to better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying both tumorigenesis and resistance to therapy. As a result, there are a wide range of novel agents currently under development that we anticipate will enter the clinical arena within the coming years. This review seeks to discuss a spectrum of key pathways and agents that may be particularly relevant to the treatment of CRC in the near future, as well as briefly discuss some of the challenges we face in this new era of drug discovery.
