Article Abstract

Aims: To determine the optimal extent of lymph node dissection for non-metastatic colon cancer by tumor location based on the therapeutic value index (TVI) for each lymph node station.

Methods: Consecutive patients with surgical stage I-III colon or rectosigmoid cancer in the Japanese Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum database who underwent curative resection between January 2003 and December 2014 were analyzed. The TVI was defined as the incidence of lymph node metastasis multiplied by 5-year overall survival and calculated for each nodal station stratified by tumor location.

Results: A total of 33 231 patients were eligible for analysis. In cecal cancer, the TVI was 2.086 for nodal station #203, but only 0.000 for #213. In ascending colon cancer, the TVI was 1.080 for #203 and 0.644 for #213, but only 0.178 for #223. In transverse colon cancer, the TVI was 1.942 for #223, but only 0.066 for #213 and 0.159 for #203. In descending colon cancer, the TVI was 0.215 for #253. The TVI was 1.172 for #253 in sigmoid colon cancer and 1.155 for #253 in rectosigmoid cancer.

Conclusion: Considering that a previous systematic review reported TVIs in the range of 0.295-0.576 for the para-aortic lymph nodes in patients with colorectal cancer, dissection of the main lymph nodes along the feeding artery has a therapeutic value in non-metastatic colon cancers. Meanwhile, the significance of #253 dissection for descending colon cancer requires further discussion.

This study aimed to synthesize and evaluate the anticancer activity of novel chalcone derivative against colon cancer by in vitro cytotoxicity against HCT-116 (Research Resource Identifiers:CVCL_D4JB) cell line and in vivo using EAC (Research Resource Identifiers: CVCL_1306) and DLA (Research Resource Identifiers: CVCL_VR37) cells inoculated Swiss albino mice. The present study aimed to synthesize the new chalcone derivatives and conduct its anti-colon cancer activity both in vitro and in vivo. The designed compounds were subjected to in silico studies like binding pocket analysis, molecular docking, and ADME studies.

Purpose: To build computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics models, with independent external validation, to predict recurrence and disease-specific mortality in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) who underwent liver resection.

Methods: 113 patients were included in this retrospective study: the internal training cohort comprised 66 patients, while the external validation cohort comprised 47. All patients underwent a CT study before surgery.

In an attempt to react aminocyclopropenones with cyclic imines in order to synthesise amido-substituted pyrrolizidine natural products, we found that aminocyclopropenones undergo a previously unreported stereospecific and regiospecific catalyst-free, thermal ring-opening reaction with alcohols to yield β-enamino esters (also known as vinylogous carbamates or aminoacrylates). We report 21 examples in 45 to 97% isolated yield. The reaction occurs nucleophilic attack at the cyclopropenone carbonyl followed by regiospecific ring opening of the cyclopropenone with retention of alkene geometry.

Background: The association between preoperative liver function and short-term outcomes after gastrointestinal cancer surgery is unknown. This study investigated the impact of Child-Pugh score-based preoperative liver dysfunction on short-term outcomes after distal gastrectomy and right hemicolectomy.

Materials And Methods: We included patients who underwent distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer or right hemicolectomy for colon cancer between 2018 and 2022 from the Japanese National Clinical Database.

Aim And Background: This study investigates the impact of D3 lymph node dissection extent on postoperative bowel function and nutritional status in patients undergoing radical surgery for right-sided colon cancer. Given that postoperative diarrhea can significantly affect the quality of life, we examined whether dissection boundaries influence these outcomes.

Methods: This was a prospective, randomized controlled trial conducted at a high-volume tertiary hospital.
