Article Abstract
Goals: Using a data set of more than 200,000 cases, we can measure the effects of age, time, sex, and race/ethnicity on the shift of the site of origin of colorectal adenocarcinoma from the left to the right side.
Background: As people become older, there is a shift of the site of origin of adenocarcinoma of the colorectum from the left to the right side. Although some studies do show some relationship of this shift, in addition to age, to race/ethnicity and to sex, there are no large, total population-based data studying the effects of these factors and time trends in this shift.
Study: 213,383 cases of adenocarcinoma of the colorectum for the years 1988 to 2003 from the California Cancer Registry have been studied.
Results: The left-to-right shift increases significantly with increasing age and year of diagnosis, and is greater in women than in men and is greater in whites than in other racial/ethnic groups. The time-related shift is a reflection of a lesser decrease in the incidence of colorectal adenocarcinoma on the right side than on the left.
Conclusions: The most attractive hypothesis is that a greater likelihood of prior polypectomy, and thus prevention of more cancers, occurs on the left side than on the right.

Nanoscale ruthenium(III) complexes with bioactive ligands: structural, colloidal, and dual antimicrobial-cytotoxic investigations.
Dalton Trans

Faculty of Chemistry, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Gagarina 7, 87-100 Toruń, Poland.
This study comprehensively analyses two new ruthenium(III) complexes, [RuCl(Nic)][(CH)NH]DMF, 1, and [RuCl(3-HPA)][3-HHPA](EtOH), 2, (where Nic = nicotinic acid (vitamin B3), 3-HPA = anion of a 3-hydroxypicolinic acid), as potential antimicrobial agents, highlighting their physicochemical properties, nanoparticle formation, and cytotoxic activity. The complexes were fully characterised by a single crystal X-ray diffraction technique, Fourier-transform infrared, energy-dispersive X-ray, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies. The synthesis of micro- and nanoparticles (NPs) of these complexes was performed using the liquid anti-solvent crystallisation method.

Introduction Early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC), defined as colorectal cancer diagnosed before the age of 50, has exhibited a sustained increase in incidence globally. In Mexico, this rising trend presents significant clinical and diagnostic challenges, particularly in younger patients who often lack traditional risk factors. This study aimed to describe and compare the epidemiological, clinical, histopathological, and therapeutic characteristics of EOCRC versus late-onset colorectal cancer (LOCRC) in a referral hospital in Mexico City.

Faculty of Medicine, Saint Joseph University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon.
Background And Objectives: Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening and early detection reduce mortality. Curative treatment is based on surgical resection, and pathological analysis plays a key role in management. In Lebanon, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare has been compounded by an unprecedented socio-economic crisis in 2020.

Crohn's-disease-associated colorectal cancer, where chronic inflammation increases the risk of cancer development, is less common than other types of colorectal cancer. Pathological analyses of Crohn's-disease-associated colorectal cancer are limited. Herein, we present a case of Crohn's disease-associated colorectal cancer, suggesting stepwise carcinogenesis from the chronic inflammatory mucosa.

Left-sided partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) may remain clinically silent and undiagnosed until incidentally identified, potentially introducing complexity in perioperative assessment and management, particularly in patients with significant comorbidities. We report the case of a 77-year-old male with metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma and a history of multiple right-sided pulmonary metastasectomies. He underwent a right completion upper bilobectomy.
