Recently, Dr. Bapat’s team conducted a large study of colon cancer patients from six international registries, in which patients had one of two distinct genetic types of tumours. Results suggest a complex interplay between genetic mutations and environmental factors. Dr. Bapat’s research also focuses on the development of non-invasive diagnostic tests for cancers.
