Ethics approval and consent to participate
: All animal procedures were approved by the Ethical Commission of Candiolo Cancer Institute IRCCS, of the University of Turin and by the Italian Ministry of Health. They were performed in accordance with institutional guidelines and international law and policies. The number of mice included in the experiments, the inclusion/exclusion criteria, and the observed tumor size limits were based on institutional guidelines. Guidelines limited us to using 6–8-week-old female and male NOD–SCID mice. Mice were obtained from Charles River Tumor samples, and matched normal samples were obtained from patients treated by liver metastasectomy at the Candiolo Cancer Institute (Candiolo, Torino, Italy), Mauriziano Umberto I Hospital (Torino) and San Giovanni Battista Hospital (Torino). All patients provided informed consent, samples were procured, and the study was conducted under the approval of the Review Boards of the Institutions (Ethics protocol No. 001-IRCC-00IIS-10, project “PROFILING”).
