Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers such as colorectal cancer (CRC), gastric cancer (GC), esophageal cancer (EG), pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma (PDAC) or hepatocellular cancer (HCC) belong to the most commonly diagnosed types of cancer and are among the most frequent causes of cancer related death worldwide. Most types of GI cancer develop in a stepwise fashion with the occurrence of various driver mutations during tumor progression. Understanding the precise function of mutations driving GI cancer development has been regarded as a prerequisite for an improved clinical management of GI malignancies. During recent years, CRISPR/Cas9 has developed into a powerful tool for genome editing in cancer research by knocking in and knocking out even multiple genes at the same time.
