Prognostic and Predictive Value of Immunoscore in Stage III Colorectal Cancer: Pooled Analysis of Cases From the SCOT and IDEA-HORG Studies
CONCLUSION: IS is prognostic in stage III CRC treated with FOLFOX or CAPOX, including within clinically relevant tumor subgroups. Possible variation in IS prognostic value by age and MMR status, and prediction of benefit from extended adjuvant therapy merit validation.PMID:38484206 | DOI:10.1200/JCO.23.01648 (Source: Clinical Colorectal Cancer)

Type 2 diabetes mellitus and post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer: clinical and molecular characteristics and survival
CONCLUSION: The increased prevalence of proximally located PCCRCs and the poorer survival may suggest overlooked colorectal lesions as a predominant explanation for T2D-related PCCRC, although altered tumor progression cannot be ruled out.PMID:38483686 | DOI:10.1007/s10552-024-01861-9 (Source: Clinical Colorectal Cancer)

Fournier's gangrene due to rectal cancer: A case report
Mol Clin Oncol. 2024 Feb 12;20(4):30. doi: 10.3892/mco.2024.2728. eCollection 2024 Apr.ABSTRACTFournier's gangrene (FG) is an extremely rare necrotizing fasciitis that is insidious, rapidly spreading and life-threatening. FGs due to rectal cancer occur rarely and there is a lack of clinical reference. In the present study, a severe FG due to rectal cancer perforation was described and the features of this rare disease were summarized with a literature review. A 57-year-old man was admitted because of rectal cancer-induced FG. The patient was misdiagnosed with extensive perianal abscess until the intraoperative biopsy confi...

A comprehensive multi-omics analysis identifies a robust scoring system for cancer-associated fibroblasts and intervention targets in colorectal cancer
CONCLUSION: We constructed a robust CAFGs score system with clinical significance using multiple CRC cohorts. In addition, we identified several molecules related to CAF identity and function that could be potential intervention targets for CRC patients.PMID:38478111 | DOI:10.1007/s00432-023-05548-7 (Source: Clinical Colorectal Cancer)

The choice of diagnostic modality influences the proportion of low muscle strength, low muscle mass, and sarcopenia in colorectal cancer patients
CONCLUSION: The proportion of low muscle strength, low muscle mass, and sarcopenia in CRC patients varied considerably depending on the diagnostic modalities used. Further studies are needed to provide modality-specific cut-off values, adjusted to sex, age and body size.PMID:38479906 | DOI:10.1016/j.clnesp.2024.01.001 (Source: Clinical Colorectal Cancer)

Optimizing smartphone psychotherapy for depressive symptoms in patients with cancer: Multiphase optimization strategy using a decentralized multicenter randomized clinical trial (J-SUPPORT 2001 Study)
CONCLUSION: As the presence of any of the three intervention components did not contribute to a significant additive reduction of depressive symptoms, we cannot make evidence-based recommendations regarding the use of specific smartphone psychotherapy.PMID:38468404 | DOI:10.1111/pcn.13657 (Source: Clinical Colorectal Cancer)

Lifestyle factors are primarily defined here as diet and physical activity. We conducted a narrative review of the primary published data, including randomized controlled trials and prospective studies, on the impact of primary lifestyle factors on oncogenesis and clinical outcomes in the preventative and survivorship setting. First, we discuss the oncogenic m...

Acute Myeloid Leukemia Secondary to Treatment with Oxaliplatin Combined with Capecitabine for Colorectal Cancer
CONCLUSIONS: We suggest that clinicians conduct long-term epidemiological follow-up and epidemiological investigations on patients treated with oxaliplatin and capecitabine. In addition, clinicians should carefully check the complete blood cell count on routine follow-ups and observe the morphological changes of white blood cells in peripheral blood smears, even for asymptomatic patients who have undergone chemotherapy. In this way, we can observe the possibility of its development into secondary leukemia.PMID:38469787 | DOI:10.7754/Clin.Lab.2023.230946 (Source: Clinical Colorectal Cancer)

Tumor deposits in axillary adipose tissue in patients with breast cancer: Do they matter?
World J Clin Cases. 2024 Feb 26;12(6):1045-1049. doi: 10.12998/wjcc.v12.i6.1045.ABSTRACTTumor deposits (TDs) are defined as discrete, irregular clusters of tumor cells lying in the soft tissue adjacent to but separate from the primary tumor, and are usually found in the lymphatic drainage area of the primary tumor. By definition, no residual lymph node structure should be identified in these tumor masses. At present, TDs are mainly reported in colorectal cancer, with a few reports in gastric cancer. There are very few reports on breast cancer (BC). For TDs, current dominant theories suggest that these are the result of lym...
