A source study was identified, but the evidence comparison for this claim was not completed. No verdict has been assigned.
Claim 2 of 7Not checkedThe study focused on microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer, which accounts for 80-85% of bowel cancer cases in Ireland and remains challenging to treat with limited response to many newer therapies.View evidenceHide evidence

A source study was identified, but the evidence comparison for this claim was not completed. No verdict has been assigned.
Claim 3 of 7Not checkedUsing 2,000 patient tumor samples, the researchers analyzed genetic, metabolic protein and clinical data with AI tools and found previously unrecognized ways in which the cancer cells divide, grow, adapt and interact with their environment.View evidenceHide evidence

A source study was identified, but the evidence comparison for this claim was not completed. No verdict has been assigned.
Claim 4 of 7Not checkedThe team developed an AI approach called iPhenMap that can create a biological map of the tumor and reveal connections between tumor features that may be missed when data are studied in isolation.View evidenceHide evidence

A source study was identified, but the evidence comparison for this claim was not completed. No verdict has been assigned.
Claim 5 of 7Not checkedThe researchers identified previously unidentified vulnerabilities in the tumors and tested them in laboratory models, showing that certain drug combinations could work well to target them and treat the cancer.View evidenceHide evidence
