Grant from the Digestive Tumor Treatment Group for Dr. Jenniffer Linares

A researcher at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute has received one of the research project grants for digestive tumors awarded by this organization.

The Digestive Tumor Treatment Group (TTD) has awarded one of its grants for research projects on digestive tumors to Dr. Jenniffer Linares, a researcher from the Colorectal Cancer Precision Medicine Research Group, led by Dr. Clara Montagut at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute. The award ceremony took place during the 32nd TTD International Symposium on Advances in Digestive Tumor Treatments.

The grant is for the project titled "Clinical impact of CAF-secreted biomarkers in RAS wild-type metastatic CRC patients treated within the CR-SEQUENCE clinical trial." Its goal is to identify the predictive value of biomarkers derived from the tumor microenvironment to anticipate the response to chemotherapy and anti-EGFR treatments in patients with RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer.

Dr. Mar Iglesias, Head of the Pathology Department at Hospital del Mar, and Dr. Clara Montagut, Head of the Digestive Cancer Section in the Medical Oncology Department, both researchers at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, also participated in the symposium with two presentations.
