Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in pMMR/MSS Colorectal Cancer
ConclusionImmune checkpoint inhibitor-based regimens have not yet shown any meaningful positive outcomes for most pMMR/MSS colorectal cancers. A beneficial effect among a minority of these patients has been observed, but concrete biomarkers of response are lacking. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of immune resistance should guide further research for overcoming these obstacles. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Cancer)

Attitudes of Gastroenterologists Regarding Delivery of Cancer Diagnoses: a Cross-Sectional Study
ConclusionsMost gastroenterologists take personal responsibility in the delivery of cancer diagnoses. Many gastroenterologists receive no specific training on how to deliver this news and are unaware of any guidelines to follow that may be helpful in their practice. However, most displayed a willingness to learn these guidelines through some form of formal education. Future directions should consider the incorporation of education in cancer diagnosis delivery for gastroenterologists and gastroenterology fellows. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Cancer)

Significance of Distinct Liquid Biopsy Compartments in Evaluating Somatic Mutations for Targeted Therapy Selection in Cancer of Unknown Primary
ConclusionWe observed substantial overlap between somatic variants identified in evDNA and cfDNA of CUP patients. Nonetheless, interrogation of both LB compartments can potentially increase the rate of druggable alterations, stressing the significance of liquid biopsies for possible primary-independent basket and umbrella trial inclusion.

Retrospective Analysis of Real-Life Data Evaluating the Optimal Time Between Gastrectomy and Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Resected Gastric Cancer
ConclusionThe optimal time to start AC in patients with gastric cancer who underwent curative resection is unknown. This study reported that an interval shorter than 4  weeks was an independent prognostic risk factor for both OS and RFS. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Cancer)

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
ConclusionsOur study is unable to conclusively point towards OSA being a risk factor in the development of CRC, despite the plausible biological mechanisms for this. Further well-designed prospective RCT assessing the risk of CRC in patients with OSA and the impact of OSA treatments on the incidence and prognosis of CRC are needed.

Tooth Loss as a Predictor of Postoperative Complications and Prognosis in Patients with Colorectal Cancer
ConclusionIn CRC patients who underwent curative resection, tooth loss was a predictor of POCs. Although further investigations are needed, our results support the use of tooth loss as a simple and essential preoperative evaluation system. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Cancer)
