Abstract:
Current standards of pathological and molecular diagnostics in colorectal cancer Abstract. The pathologic assessment of biopsy and resections specimens plays an important role for further management of colorectal cancer patients. Therefore, careful evaluation of certain prognostic and predictive factors is crucial to ensure optimized and individualized patient care. In addition, progress in treatment options which require molecular diagnostics have led to integration of such tests in routine. The aim of this review is to provide a concise and pragmatic summary of the most important prognostic and predictive biomarkers currently in used for high-quality pathological analysis of colorectal cancer.

Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
