Abstract:
Colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasizing to the stomach and duodenum is rare. Even rarer is when the CRC subtype is signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC). Endoscopic findings of CRC metastasis to the stomach have been described as solitary and submucosal while duodenal metastasis has been observed to be exophytic. In this report, we describe a case of a middle-aged man with colon SRCC presenting with oral intolerance. He was found to have concurrent metastases to the stomach and duodenum and died 8 months after his SRCC diagnosis.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
