Article Abstract
Aim: The significance of the mucinous adenocarcinoma in TNM staging and prognosis for colorectal tumor patients is still controversial. The aim was to provide a meta-analysis for TNM staging and prognostic features of colorectal tumors.
Methods: 30 individual case-control studies were finally included into this meta-analysis, involving a total of 444,489 cancer cases and 45,050 mucinous adenocarcinomas, of relations with TNM staging and prognostic features.
Results: Compared to non-mucinous adenocarcinoma patients, the TNM IV stage accounted for a larger percentage of mucinous adenocarcinomas (OR=1.48, 95%CI 1.28-1.71, POR<0.001) and the prognosis was significantly poor (HR=1.06, 95%CI 1.04-1.08, P<0.001). After heterogeneity testing, the results was similar to the holistic approach outcome (HR=1.48, 95%CI 1.35-1.62, P<0.001).
Conclusion: Compared to patients with non-mucinous adenocarcinomas, mucinous adenocarcinoma patients with later TNM staging make up a big percentage, and mucinous adenocarcinoma is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis.

Background: Appendiceal adenocarcinomas and low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs) are rare tumours. Much of the existing knowledge is derived from registry-based studies, particularly the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database in the USA.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from the Swedish Cancer Registry, Swedish Cause of Death Registry, and the National Patient Registry to analyse demographic characteristics and outcomes of patients diagnosed with appendiceal adenocarcinoma or LAMN between 2005 and 2019.

Adenocarcinoma of the lung is the most common type of lung cancer and is classified as one of the non-small cell lung cancers. It typically arises in the peripheral regions of the lungs, affecting the dense glandular tissues. Most patients diagnosed with pulmonary adenocarcinoma are current or former smokers and present with nonspecific respiratory symptoms such as a persistent cough and shortness of breath.

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.

Objectives: Although radiologic ground-glass opacity (GGO) components are associated with favorable prognosis, limited evidence supports the prognostic significance of corresponding histologic lepidic components. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of lepidic components in patients with surgically resected invasive non-mucinous lung adenocarcinoma at pathologic (p-) stages I to IIIA.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 352 patients who underwent resection for invasive non-mucinous adenocarcinoma between 2012 and 2016.

Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMNs) are rare tumors originating from mucin-producing epithelial cells of the appendix. They can exhibit both benign and malignant behavior. They are often incidentally discovered during appendectomy.
