Emerging and under-recognised patterns of colorectal carcinoma morphologies: a comprehensive review
J Clin Pathol. 2024 Mar 6:jcp-2023-208816. doi: 10.1136/jcp-2023-208816. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWhile the overwhelming majority of colorectal carcinomas (CRC) are diagnosed as adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified, there are numerous under-recognised morphologic patterns of CRC. These patterns are recognised by the WHO, appear in reporting manuals for the American Joint Committee of Cancer, and/or are listed on synoptic reports, while many other variants have either fallen out of favour or are emerging as future bona fide patterns. Herein, we discuss 13 variants: serrated adenocarcinoma, micropapillary adenocarcino...

The Contribution of Inherited Thrombophilia to Venous Thromboembolism in Cancer Patients
We describe 11 studies on the contribution of inherited thrombophilia to VTE in cancer patients in general and 10 on that contribution in specific types of cancer: 1 in colorectal cancer, 4 in breast cancer, 1 in gynecologic cancer and 4 in hematopoietic malignancies. All studies investigate the relation of factor V Leiden (FVL) to VTE, 13 that of the prothrombin G20210A mutation (PTG20210A) and 7 studies also investigate other inherited thrombophilias, such methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene mutations, although only 2 investigate the contribution of deficiencies of the natural anticoagulants. Studies are very hetero...

Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab in Patients with Non-Breast/Gastroesophageal HER2-Amplified Tumors: Results from the NCI-MATCH ECOG-ACRIN Trial (EAY131) Subprotocol J
CONCLUSIONS: HP was active in a selection of HER2-amplified tumors (non-breast/gastroesophageal) but did not meet the predefined efficacy benchmark. Additional strategies targeting HER2 and potential resistance pathways are warranted, especially in rare tumors.PMID:38433347 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-0633 (Source: Clinical Colorectal Cancer)

Evaluation of the risk factors for the failure of a single prophylactic dose of anticholinergic drugs for irinotecan-induced cholinergic symptoms
CONCLUSION: We determined that colorectal cancer, female sex, and prophylactic use of scopolamine butyl bromide were risk factors associated with the failure of a single prophylactic dose of anticholinergic drugs, and that multiple prophylactic doses for wearing-off can be a promising method.PMID:38431832 | DOI:10.5414/CP204531 (Source: Clinical Colorectal Cancer)

Dynamic prediction of advanced colorectal neoplasia in inflammatory bowel disease
CONCLUSION: The new prediction model showed good discrimination and calibration, however, generalizability results varied.

The multivisceral landscape of colorectal cancer metastasis: implications for targeted therapies
J Clin Invest. 2024 Mar 1;134(5):e178331. doi: 10.1172/JCI178331.ABSTRACTColorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most common cancer types and the second deadliest malignancy for both sexes. Metastatic disease poses substantial therapeutic challenges, and peritoneal spread, in particular, reduces quality of life and has a dismal outcome. In this issue of the JCI, Berlin and authors have made considerable advancements in understanding the cellular and molecular composition of multivisceral CRC metastasis in a sophisticated murine orthotopic organoid model and in humans. The study provides unprecedented insights into the complex...
