AbGn-107

Disease Population

The number of new cases of colorectal cancer was 39.4 per 100,000 men and women per year. The number of deaths was 14.5 per 100,000 men and women per year. These rates are age-adjusted and based on 2011-2015 cases and deaths.
Approximately 4.2 percent of men and women will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer at some point during their lifetime, based on 2013-2015 data.
In 2015, there were an estimated 1,332,085 people living with colorectal cancer in the United States[1]. AbGn-107 binds to approximately 15% of colorectal tumors.

About Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) affects the colon and rectum. Globally, CRC is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in males and the second in females, with 1.65 million new cases and almost 835,000 deaths in 2015 [2]. With current advances in screening techniques and improvements in treatments, the death rate from CRC is declining. Still, it remains the third most common cause of cancer-related death in the world [3].

The CRC cells start in the inner lining of the colon and/or rectum, slowly growing through some or all of its layers. It typically starts as a growth of tissue called a polyp. A particular type of polyp, called an adenoma, can then develop into cancer.
