Peripheral blood leucocytes show differential expression of tumour progression‐related genes in colorectal cancer patients who have a postoperative intra‐abdominal infection: a prospective matched cohort study

Abstract

Analysis of PBL shows differential expression of certain tumour progression-related genes in colorectal cancer patients who have a postoperative intra-abdominal infection, which in turn may promote the growth of residual cancer cells to become recurrent tumours.
