Cancer-promoting proinflammatory microenvironment influences colorectal cancer (CRC) development. We examined the biomarkers of inflammation, intestinal differentiation, and DNA activity correlated with the clinical parameters to observe progression and prognosis in the adenocarcinoma subtype of CRC. Their immunohistology, immunoblotting, and RT-PCR analyses were performed in the adenocarcinoma and neighboring healthy tissues of 64 patients with CRC after routine colorectal surgery.

- Advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) has poor prognosis, but a study examines outcomes of patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery combined with intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC or EPIC).
- From 1995 to 2014, 116 patients were treated, revealing longer median survival for primary EOC (41.3 months) compared to recurrent EOC (27.3 months), with survival rates dropping significantly over 3 and 5 years.
- Key findings highlight that lower peritoneal cancer index (PCI) scores showed better survival rates, and both PCI and the timing of treatment (primary vs. recurrent) were important predictors of patient outcomes.
Low level radio-frequency (RF) signals may produce disorientation, headache and nausea. This double blind study tested nine case-subjects, who complained of various symptoms after prolonged mobile telephone use and 21 control subjects. Each subject underwent a series of trials, in which a dummy mobile telephone exposure system was held to each ear for 30 min in (a) pulsed, (b) continuous RF emission or, (c) no emission test modes.
