Article Abstract

In recent years, evidence for the anti-cancer activity of lichen secondary metabolites has been rapidly increasing. In this study, we synthesised analogues of diffractaic acid, a lichen secondary metabolite, and evaluated their ability to suppress colorectal cancer stem potential. Among the 10 compounds after H/CH₃/benzylation of the diffractaic acid structure or modifications in an aromatic hydrophobic domain, TU3 has a more inhibition effect on the stem potential of colorectal cancer compared to other compounds. The compound TU3 targets ALDH1 and suppresses key signalling pathways such as WNT, STAT3, NF-κB, Hedgehog, and AP-1. Inhibition of these signalling pathways by TU3 contribute to attenuate the survival mechanisms of colorectal cancer stem cell and thus inhibit cancer progression.

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.

Curr Cancer Drug Targets

September 2025

Department of Biotechnology, Institute of Applied Sciences &Humanities, GLA University, 17km Stone, NH-19, Mathura, Delhi Road, P.O. Chaumuhan, Mathura, 281 406, U.P. India.

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

August 2025

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.
