Article Abstract

Screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) in individuals with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) typically recommends initiating colonoscopy at 25 years old. We herein report a case of LFS with dual CRC and liver metastasis diagnosed before the recommended screening age. A 17-year-old boy with a history of sarcoma underwent colonoscopy, revealing 2 advanced CRCs: neuroendocrine carcinoma in the descending colon and adenocarcinoma in the rectum, each displaying distinct histological features. In addition, a TP53 missense mutation (p.His193Arg) was detected by a detailed genetic examination. LFS is associated with a heightened risk of rapid progression to invasive carcinomas due to TP53 variants. Therefore, earlier initiation of colonoscopy screening may be necessary for patients with LFS.

Dietary inflammatory index and the risk of colorectal adenomas and cancer: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis.

Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Hangzhou Red Cross Hospital, 208 Huancheng Dong Road, Hangzhou, 310003, Zhejiang Province, China.

Background: The potential association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, as well as colorectal adenomas (CRA) risk, has been extensively studied, but the findings remain inconclusive. We conducted this systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis to investigate the relationship between the DII and CRC and CRA.

Methods: We comprehensively searched the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases for cohort and case-control studies reporting the relationship between DII and CRA, or between DII and CRC, as of 15 July 2025.

Background: The primary treatment for colorectal cancer, which is very prevalent, is surgery. Anastomotic leaking poses a significant risk following surgery. Intestinal perfusion can be objectively and instantly assessed with indocyanine green fluorescence imaging, which may lower leakage rates and enhance surgical results.
