Article Abstract
This study, conducted from November 2023 to March 2024 in Harbin, China, explored frailty risk perceptions among 25 elderly colorectal cancer (CRC) patients using qualitative interviews and Colaizzi's method for analysis. Findings reveal that these perceptions change dynamically across different treatment stages, often deviating from medical definitions. Initially optimistic, patients later experienced increased anxiety and confusion about preventive measures. The study highlights the necessity for stage-specific educational interventions to correct misconceptions, enhance program participation, and improve health outcomes.

Accounting for endoscopic screening in colorectal cancer risk models.
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev
September 2025
Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA, United States.
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.
Stanford Type A Aortic Dissection During Adjuvant Capecitabine Chemotherapy for Colorectal Cancer.

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Nagoya Heart Center, Nagoya, Japan.
Background: Capecitabine, an oral prodrug of 5-fluorouracil, is widely used for gastrointestinal malignancies. While its coronary toxicity is well documented, large-vessel complications such as aortic dissection are rarely reported.
Case Summary: We present a 65-year-old man with colorectal cancer who developed Stanford type A aortic dissection 3 days after initiating adjuvant capecitabine therapy.

Background: The rising burden of colorectal cancer with a high prevalence of advanced stages of new-onset is reported worldwide. While applied, chemotherapy can extend patients' survival, and proper tailoring is paramount. Based on computed tomography results, the study aimed to point out potential prognostic factors of complete or partial response to the initial three months of chemotherapy in palliative colorectal (CRC) cancer.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent malignant tumor of the digestive tract. The FOLFOX regimen (oxaliplatin + calcium folinate + 5-fluorouracil) serves as the primary treatment for advanced CRC clinically, yet its application is significantly limited by substantial toxic side effects. Erianin, a natural compound from Chinese medicine Lindl, demonstrates significant potential in both tumor growth inhibition and chemotherapy toxicity reduction.
