Increasing bowel cancer screening using SMS in general practice: the SMARTscreen trial
CONCLUSION: The SMS increased NBCSP kit return in 50-to-60-year-old general practice patients. This finding informed a larger trial -SMARTERscreen- to test this intervention in a broader Australian population.PMID:38164588 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2023.0230 (Source: The British Journal of General Practice)

The gut microbiota in adults with cystic fibrosis compared to colorectal cancer
CONCLUSIONS: CF stool samples were clearly dysbiotic, clustering distinctly from both CRC and control samples. Several bacterial shifts in CF samples resembled those observed in CRC. Studies assessing the impact of dietary or other interventions and the longer-term use of CFTR modulators on reducing this potentially pro-oncogenic milieu are needed.PMID:38104000 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcf.2023.12.004 (Source: Cancer Control)

Predicting risk of endometrial cancer in asymptomatic women (PRECISION): Model development and external validation
CONCLUSIONS: The Predicting risk of endometrial cancer in asymptomatic women model (PRECISION), using easily measurable anthropometric, reproductive, personal and family history, accurately quantifies a woman's 10-year risk of endometrial cancer. Its use could determine eligibility for primary endometrial cancer prevention trials and for targeted resource allocation in UK general practices.PMID:38073256 | DOI:10.1111/1471-0528.17729 (Source: BJOG : An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology)

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 5754: Treat-to-Target and Regular Surveillance of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Are Associated with Low Incidence and Early-Stage Detection of Malignancies: A Retrospective Cohort Study
se Gionata Fiorino Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), increase the risk of malignancies, particularly colorectal cancer (CRC). We aimed to assess the incidence of malignancies in IBD patients managed using a treat-to-target approach and recommended surveillance. We retrospectively searched the electronic databases of two tertiary IBD centers in Milan from 2010 to 2019 for new diagnoses of malignancy in patients with pre-existing IBD. A total of 5239 patients with a follow-up of 19,820 years were included. In total, 71 malignancies were diagnose...

Role of gonadally synthesized steroid hormones in the colorectal cancer microenvironment
ConclusionThe current literature suggests that androgens, estrogens, and progesterone are valuable in diagnosing and treating colorectal cancer, and that androgens promote the growth of colorectal cancer whereas estrogens and progesterone inhibit colorectal cancer, and that, in addition, the receptors associated with them are implicated in the modulation of a variety of cellular components of the microenvironment of colorectal cancer.
