I am interested in research dealing with improving the treatment and prognosis of colorectal cancer. Currently I am doing a clinical randomized trial in which patients with colon cancer are treated with metformin in the perioperative period. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of metformin on proliferation and apoptosis of tumor cells as well as changes in immune infiltration of the tumor. Furthermore, the systemic immune response and changes in postoperative hyperglycemia are explored. Finally, the composition of the microbiota of the gut is examined. The gut microbiota has proven to be connected to a number of different diseases, including colorectal cancer. Metformin is thought to be able to change the composition of the gut microbiota.
