Article Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a global disease accounting for nearly one in 10 cancer cases and deaths which can be reduced through CRC screening. In 2023 the World Endoscopy Organization (WEO) set forth twelve newly stated principles whereby new non-invasive CRC screening tests could be efficiently evaluated by a rigorous phased comparative approach. The complexities of evaluating new and evolving CRC screening tests and the necessity for a "one size does not fit all" approach was stressed. This special issue of Digestive Diseases and Sciences expands on this document and provides in-depth discussions of several of the issues raised during its development from a global perspective.

Patient-derived cancer organoids (PDCOs) are a valuable model to recapitulate human disease in culture with important implications for drug development. However, current methods for rapidly and reproducibly assessing PDCOs are limited. Label-free imaging methods are a promising tool to measure organoid level heterogeneity and rapidly screen drug response in PDCOs.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) risk models routinely adjust for endoscopic screening because of a) possible confounding with other risk factors and b) possible alteration of natural history of the disease due to adenoma detection and removal.

Methods: In this study, we defined a subject as screen-covered (SC) if a colonoscopy was performed in the past 10 years, and not screen-covered (NSC) otherwise. We created CRC risk models separately for SC and NSC subjects (HRSC, HRNSC) and then obtained a screening-coverage adjusted HR estimate (HRfull) based on a weighted average of ln(HRSC) and ln(HRNSC) with weight equal to the proportion of SC person-time in the NHS population.

Objective: The diagnosis of precancerous lesions of colorectal cancer (CRC) presents significant challenges in clinical practice. In this study, we conducted a clinical investigation using the UCAD technique after analyzing chromosomal copy number variations (CNVs) in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples from various pathological stages, aiming to evaluate the value of detecting chromosomal instability (CIN) in CRC diagnosis.

Methods: Based on colonoscopic pathological findings, we selected 39 FFPE specimens of tubular adenomas, 8 FFPE specimens of villous adenomas, 16 cases diagnosed as tubular-villous adenomas, and 14 cases without defined pathological subtype classification.

The human microbiota is composed of a complex community of microorganisms essential for maintaining host homeostasis, especially in the gastrointestinal tract. Emerging evidence suggests that dysbiosis is linked to various cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC). The microbiota contributes to CRC development and progression by influencing inflammation, genotoxic stress, and key cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation pathways.

Using precision analytics approaches with population health data helps identify localized patterns of social determinants and comorbidities, supporting the design of tailored interventions. The University of Kentucky College of Public Health (UKCPH) and UK King's Daughters (UKKD) have partnered to create a Precision Public Health Alliance (PPHA) applying precision analytics to UKKD electronic health records (EHR) as well as secondary datasets to map social, demographic, and clinical comorbidity factors onto colorectal cancer (CRC) screening data in UKKD's rural service area (the northeastern Kentucky counties of Boyd, Carter, Greenup, and Lawrence and southeast Ohio county of Lawrence). In addition to UKKD and UKCPH clinicians and researchers, PPHA includes a community-based Action Team of local social services, behavioral health, and public health agencies and Cooperative Extension agents responsible for translating findings into quality improvement priorities.
