Moreover, the expression of EGFR in non-epithelial intestinal cells, such as myofibroblasts, and in specific intestinal stromal cells plays an important role in chronic inflammatory conditions, such as the inflammatory bowel diseases, IBD, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, which are associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) development [66]. The gene discussed is EGFR; the disease is colorectal cancer.
