Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant global health concern, requiring effective preclinical models for studying its development and testing therapies. Mouse models have been used, including spontaneous tumors, carcinogen exposure, and tumor cell implantation as xenografts or at orthotopic sites. Here, we describe an orthotopic preclinical model of CRC, which provides a valuable tool for studying tumor growth and the tumor microenvironment, offering a more accurate representation of human CRC compared to xenograft models.
