Baylor Research Institute, the research arm of Baylor Health Care System, and Eureka Genomics have partnered to study the causes of colorectal cancer for the advancement of the disease's prevention, management and treatment, according to a news release.
The entities hope to confirm the JC virus' involvement in colorectal cancer and possibly identify other microbial or genetic factors. Investigators at BRI have previously conducted research that strongly suggests that the JC virus is responsible for initiating some or perhaps most colorectal cancers.
