CRISPR/Cas9 in Gastrointestinal Malignancies

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 worldw...
