General Public
COLOSSUS is an EU funded H2020 research project that is focused on a specific type of colorectal cancer (MSS RAS mt mCRC). The project aims to improve how patients with this disease are classified, so that different subtypes can be identified and treatment can be delivered in a more targeted way. Our ultimate goal is to improve treatment outcomes for patients and deliver personalised solutions.
