Our understanding of colitis-associated carcinoma (CAC) has benefited substantially from
mouse models that faithfully recapitulate human CAC. Chemical models, in particular, have
enabled fast and efficient analysis of genetic and environmental modulators of CAC without
the added requirement of time-intensive genetic crossings. Here we describe the
Azoxymethane (AOM)/Dextran Sodium Sulfate (DSS) mouse model of inflammatory
colorectal cancer.
