Taxascendins A - D (1-4), four unprecedented hetero-oligomeric terpenoids, and taxascendins E - K (5-11), seven new diterpenoids with five distinct and highly modified abietane-types frameworks, along with sixteen known analogues (10-27) were obtained from Taxodium ascendens. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and quantum chemical calculations. Bioactivity screening indicated that the isolated compounds exhibited inhibitory activity in colorectal cancer cells. Compounds 11-14, 22, and 23 exhibited inhibitory activities against the HCT116, SW480, and RKO human colorectal cancer cell lines with IC values ranging from 3.46 to 34.46 μM. Among all the tested isolates, compound 12 possessed the most potent cytotoxicity. Evidence proved that 12 inhibited autophagy in HCT116 cells via regulating the AMPK/Akt signaling pathway, subsequently downregulating mitophagy, thereby suppressing colorectal cancer cell growth.

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.

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.

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.
