Article Abstract
Background: Colorectal cancer is the second cause of death by cancer around the world. Sporadic colorectal cancer is the most frequent (75%), and it is produced by the interaction of environmental, epigenetic, and genetic factors. The accumulation of single-nucleotide variants in genes associated with cell proliferation, DNA repair, and/or apoptosis could confer a risk to cancer. The aim of this study was to analyze the gene-gene interactions among CCND2 (rs3217901), CDKN1A (rs1059234 and rs1801270), and POLD3 (rs3824999) variants in Mexican patients with colorectal cancer.
Methods: We collected peripheral blood samples from 185 patients with sporadic colorectal cancer before treatment and from 185 unrelated blood donors as the reference group; all participants signed an informed consent form. DNA extraction was performed by Miller and Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)/ Dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) methods. Polymerase chain reaction- restriction fragment length polymorphism followed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis stained with AgNO3 methods were used to identify the variants rs3217901, rs1059234, rs1801270, and rs3824999. Odds ratio and single-nucleotide variant interaction were determined by single-locus analysis and Multifactorial Dimensionality Reduction software, respectively.
Results: No association was found for CCND2 and CDKN1A variants; yet, a significant association for the GG genotype, G allele, and recessive and additive models for the POLD3 variant was observed (P < .05). The single-nucleotide variant-single-nucleotide variant interaction revealed the combination rs1059234, rs3217901, and rs3824999 as the best model and the comparison showed an increased risk (P < .05).
Conclusion: Single-locus and gene-gene interaction analyses disclosed that both the rs3824999 (POLD3) variant and the combination of rs3217901 (CCND2), rs1059234 (CDKN1A), and rs3824999 (POLD3) genotypes increase the risk for colorectal cancer in Mexican population.

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted colonoscopy has emerged as a tool to enhance adenoma detection rates (ADRs) and improve lesion characterization. However, its performance in real-world settings, especially in developing countries, remains uncertain.
Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of AI on ADRs and its concordance with histopathological diagnosis.

Objective: To evaluate the burden and trends of digestive system cancers in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) globally between 1990 and 2021.
Methods: Data were extracted from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (1990-2021). We analyzed global, regional, and national disease burdens by calculating the age-standardized incidence (ASIR), mortality (ASMR), and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for AYAs.

Background: While screening for cervical, colorectal, and lung cancers reduce cancer-specific mortality, the full benefits of screening are only realized when coupled with timely care across the subsequent "screening continuum" steps, including surveillance (results warranting frequent monitoring), diagnostic evaluation (results that require additional testing), and treatment (detected cancers). Our goal was to describe the proportion of individuals receiving timely cervical, colorectal, and lung cancer care at each step in the screening continuum.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from the 10 health care settings that participate in the Population-based Research to Optimize the Screening Process (PROSPR II) consortium and included individuals who were eligible for a step along the cancer screening continuum in 2018.

Colorectal cancer ranks among the most prevalent and lethal malignant tumors globally. Historically, the incidence of colorectal cancer in China has been lower than that in developed European and American countries; however, recent trends indicate a rising incidence due to changes in dietary patterns and lifestyle. Lipids serve critical roles in human physiology, such as energy provision, cell membrane formation, signaling molecule function, and hormone synthesis.

Background And Aims: Liver metastasis significantly contributes to poor survival in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), posing therapeutic challenges due to limited understanding of its mechanisms. We aimed to identify a potential target critical for CRC liver metastasis.
Methods: We analyzed the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases and identified EphrinA3 (EFNA3) as a potential clinically relevant target.
