Article Abstract

Background: The relationship of inflammation and tumor is becoming more and more important in the study on the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer. The role of TLR9-mediated immune inflammation reaction in the process is not currently clear. The purpose of the study was to discuss the correlation of TLR9 signal activation with tumor progression by detecting the expression of TLR9 and its downstream molecule NF-kappaB in colorectal cancer tissues at different stages.

Methods: TLR9 expression in colorectal cancer tissues was detected by immunohistochemical streptavidin-perosidase method and Western blot.

Results: The result showed that the high expression of TLR9 was correlated with tumor poorly differentiation, invasion and liver metastasis, the abnomal increasing levels of CEA in blood. With the signal activation, the levels of TLR9 protein raised more in advanced colorectal cancer than in early colorectal cancer. Afterward, we found that the activation of specific expression of TLR9 signal was related to histologic origin. TLR9-C expression displayed in both advanced cancer and para-carcinoma tissues, and TLR9-R protein was predominat in partial sigmoid and rectal cancer tissues. With the differential expression of TLR9, the levels of its downstream molecule NF-kappaB protein increased in colon cancer tissues and decreased in rectal cancer tissues.

Conclusion: The results confirmed that TLR9 signaling activation participated in the clinical process of colorectal cancer and influenced NF-kappaB expression.

Robotic-assisted proctectomy (RAP) has been reportedly associated with lower rates of conversion to laparotomy than laparoscopy in several cohort studies. This st0udy aimed to assess the temporal trends in conversion from RAP to laparotomy stratified by patient and treatment-related factors. This retrospective observational study was undertaken to analyse the temporal trends in unplanned conversion from RAP to laparotomy.

Aims: We aimed to analyze CD63, a cell surface protein that has been associated with tumor aggressiveness in several cancers, including breast, colorectal, and lung cancer, as well as melanoma, in prostate cancer.

Methods: CD63 expression was analyzed immunohistochemically in a cohort of primary prostate cancers from 281 patients. The results were correlated with clinico-pathologic parameters, including biochemical recurrence.

Lipidomic Profiling in Cancer: Phospholipid Alterations and their Role in Tumor Progression.

Phospholipids play a crucial role in various aspects of cancer biology, including tumor progression, metastasis, and cell survival. Recent studies have highlighted the signifi-cance of phospholipid metabolism and signaling in multiple cancer types, such as breast, cer-vical, prostate, bladder, colorectal, liver, lung, melanoma, mesothelioma, and oral cancer. Al-terations in phospholipid profiles, particularly in phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethan-olamine, have been identified as potential biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

Intrapatient genomic divergence across multiple primary tumors in young Korean patients.

Korean J Clin Oncol

Department of Surgery, Soonchunhyang University Bucheon Hospital, Soonchunhyang University College of Medicine, Bucheon, Korea.

Purpose: Multiple primary tumors arising in the same individual pose challenges for precision oncology, particularly in the context of hereditary cancer syndromes such as Lynch syndrome. While these tumors may originate from a shared germline predisposition, it remains unclear whether they also share somatic alterations that could be therapeutically exploited. This study aimed to characterize the extent of somatic genomic overlap between synchronous or metachronous gastric and colorectal cancers within young Korean patients.

Background: Signet ring cell (SRC) colorectal cancer is strongly associated with peritoneal metastases (PM), but the role of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) remains uncertain due to poor prognosis. This study aimed to analyse the prognostic impact of SRCs, assess clinical characteristics, and evaluate the risk of open-close laparotomy.

Methods: This Swedish population-based study included patients with colorectal PM accepted for initial CRS and HIPEC at four national centres between 2010 and 2023.
