Whole Blood Gene Expression Profiling in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Colon Cancer Surgery

We performed whole blood gene expression profiling in 26 patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer stage I-III UICC. Saples were taken the day before surgery (-1), day one postoperatively (+1) and day 10 postoperatively (+10). The aim of the study was to investigate whether gene expression was altered after laparoscopic colon cancer surgery. The study includes 26 patients with gene expression performed at 3 timepoint (=78 gene whole gele-expression analysis). There are no controlls and no replicates included. Name of sample indicates ID for the patient and day of sample.
