Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignancy. Its development and progression is associated with natural immunosuppression related, among others, to myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). Overall, 54 patients in different stage of CRC, before any treatment were recruited into the study.

Article Synopsis
- Sleeve gastrectomy is a common weight-loss surgery, but it can lead to complications like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and conditions such as erosive esophagitis (EO) and Barrett's esophagus (BO).
- A study followed 30 patients for 5 years post-surgery, finding that over half reported reflux symptoms, with 30% suffering from EO and 27% from BO.
- The study concluded that patients with a higher body mass index (BMI) post-surgery are at greater risk for developing BO, suggesting the need for regular endoscopic monitoring, particularly for at-risk individuals.
Introduction: Cholecystolithiasis is one of the most frequent disorders of the human digestive system in a present population. It is common to point out that male gender is one of strong risk factors for complications during cholecystectomy, however the debate about that seems to be still open.
Aim Of The Study: The aim of this study was to compare the values related to the course and treatment effects between gender in patients undergoing cholecystectomy, based on own material.
Background: Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) is a new technique that is designed to overcome the limits of the open and laparoscopic approach for rectal resections.
Objective: This study is designed to compare TaTME with standard laparoscopic TME (LaTME).
Methods: We searched Medline, Embase, and Scopus databases covering a up to October 2018.
Introduction: Despite the progress in the treatment of colorectal cancer, there is still no optimal strategy for tumours located adjacent to the anal sphincter. This study aims to evaluate oncological and functional results of surgery for rectal cancer in unfavourable locations in proximity to anal sphincters.
Materials And Methods: Patients with rectal cancer, which was either initially infiltrating the anal sphincter or located in the close proximity of the sphincter, were included in the study.
