Few studies have investigated quality of life (QoL) improvements in patients with colorectal cancer or the benefits of digital healthcare interventions. This randomized controlled trial assessed the impact of mobile applications on postoperative QoL in patients scheduled for curative surgery for colorectal cancer. Patients were randomized into three intervention groups (each using a different mobile application for postoperative lifestyle management) and a control group. QoL was evaluated using the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D), with physical and metabolic parameters and fat/muscle areas measured preoperatively, and every six months postoperatively. At six months, no significant differences in the EQ-5D scores from baseline were observed across groups. Intervention Group C showed a significant increase in skeletal muscle area compared to the control group (P = 0.046). Overall, mobile application use had a minimal effect on postoperative health-related QoL, warranting further research on their efficacy and compliance rates.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the most lethal malignancies globally, driven by complex molecular mechanisms that contribute to its progression and metastasis. This study focuses on the role of N1-methyladenosine (mA) RNA methylation in CRC, particularly its effect on Rab Interacting Lysosomal Protein-Like 1 (RILPL1) expression and the downstream activation of the CaMKII/CREB signaling pathway. Bioinformatics analysis identified RILPL1 as a key gene associated with poor CRC prognosis, exhibiting increased expression levels in cancerous tissues, with further elevation in metastatic samples.

Ring finger protein 180 (RNF180) is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that promotes polyubiquitination and degradation. We analyzed the roles and molecular mechanisms of RNF180 during the tumorigenesis and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) through bioinformatics analysis, in vivo and vitro experiments. RNF180 overexpression was observed in CRC, and positively associated with T, N and TNM staging or differentiation.

There are no proven therapies for metastatic or unresectable Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma (ChRCC). ChRCC is characterized by high glutathione levels and hypersensitivity to ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death characterized by peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The underlying mechanisms leading to ferroptosis hypersensitivity are unknown.

A major cause of cancer death, colorectal cancer is becoming more common in younger people. The comparative effectiveness of robotic versus laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME) as surgical interventions for mid-low rectal cancer following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) remains uncertain. To systematically evaluate oncological, perioperative, and survival outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic surgery for mid-low rectal cancer following nCRT.
