Article Abstract
Objective: Banxia Xiexin decoction (BXD) is widely used in the treatment of gastrointestinal and other digestive diseases. This study is based on network pharmacology to explore the molecular mechanism of BXD in the treatment of colon cancer.
Methods: The bioactive components and potential targets of BXD were obtained from public database. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of the potential targets of BXD for colon cancer was constructed based on the STRING database, cytoscape software, gene ontology (GO), and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis of the PPI network. Finally, we established a xenograft nude mouse model to verify the effect of BXD in colon cancer treatment.
Results: We have acquired a total of 55 bioactive components and 136 cross-targets of BXD. The results of enrichment analysis suggested that the oxidate stress and diet were the key factors of colon cancer occurrence, and AGE-RAGE signaling pathway plays an essential role in the treatment of colon cancer with BXD. Animal experiments revealed that BXD could suppress tumor growth and induce tumor cell apoptosis in the xenograft nude mouse model with HCT116 cells.
Conclusion: This study uncovered that BXD inhibits the malignant progression of colon cancer that may be related to multiple compounds (berberine, quercetin, baicalein, etc.), multiple targets (Bcl2, Bax, IL6, TNF, CASP3, etc.), and multiple pathways (human cytomegalovirus infection, AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications, etc.).

The frequency of sessile serrated adenomas detected during surveillance colonoscopy in patients with a history of colorectal cancer.
Rev Gastroenterol Mex (Engl Ed)
September 2025
Departamento de Endoscopia Gastrointestinal, Instituto Nacional de Cancerología, Tlalpan, Mexico City, Mexico.
Introduction And Aims: Sessile serrated adenomas (SSAs) are precursor lesions of colorectal cancer (CRC) in 15-30% of cases, but due to their subtle characteristics, their endoscopic detection is a challenge. The present work aimed to determine the frequency of SSAs in patients with a history of CRC who underwent index and surveillance colonoscopies after their cancer diagnosis.
Material And Methods: An observational cohort study was conducted on patients diagnosed with CRC who underwent an index colonoscopy and at least two surveillance colonoscopies at the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología in Mexico City, between January 2015 and December 2018.
Limited utility of faecal immunochemical testing in a colorectal cancer screening programme for adults with cystic fibrosis: insights from a prospective UK study.
BMJ Open Gastroenterol

Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester, UK.
Objective: People with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) are at significantly increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), prompting international recommendations for earlier screening with colonoscopy. The utility of faecal immunochemical testing (FIT) as a screening adjunct in pwCF remains unclear. This study evaluates FIT's diagnostic performance and uptake within a CRC screening programme in a UK CF centre.

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is a key functional food in the Mediterranean diet, renowned for its multiple health benefits. Rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid, and bioactive compounds like polyphenols and tocopherols, EVOO helps reduce LDL cholesterol, increase HDL cholesterol, and protect against oxidative stress. Regular consumption is associated with a lower incidence of cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurodegenerative diseases.

This study aimed to synthesize and evaluate the anticancer activity of novel chalcone derivative against colon cancer by in vitro cytotoxicity against HCT-116 (Research Resource Identifiers:CVCL_D4JB) cell line and in vivo using EAC (Research Resource Identifiers: CVCL_1306) and DLA (Research Resource Identifiers: CVCL_VR37) cells inoculated Swiss albino mice. The present study aimed to synthesize the new chalcone derivatives and conduct its anti-colon cancer activity both in vitro and in vivo. The designed compounds were subjected to in silico studies like binding pocket analysis, molecular docking, and ADME studies.

Purpose: To build computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics models, with independent external validation, to predict recurrence and disease-specific mortality in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) who underwent liver resection.
Methods: 113 patients were included in this retrospective study: the internal training cohort comprised 66 patients, while the external validation cohort comprised 47. All patients underwent a CT study before surgery.
