This narrative review aimed to identify young cancer survivors' behaviours, experiences, and perspectives concerning physical activity, and identify useful strategies for promoting a healthy lifestyle. A manual search on the following databases was conducted: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The search was conducted between June 1, 2023, and April 12, 2024.

Purpose: The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is rising in people under age 50 (early-onset). Early-onset survivors face CRC during a critical point in their lives; many are establishing their families and careers. We sought to identify the unmet needs in a sample of early-onset CRC survivors and the resources they desired to address those needs.

We study the partition function of TT[over ¯]-deformed two-dimensional Maxwell theory by solving the relevant flow equation at the level of individual flux sectors. Summing exactly the "instanton" series, we obtain a well-defined expression for the partition function at arbitrary μ. For μ>0, the spectrum of the theory experiences a truncation and the theory undergoes infinite-order quantum phase transitions associated with the vanishing of Polyakov-loop correlators.

Purpose: Liver cancer is a global challenge, and disparities exist across multiple domains and throughout the disease continuum. However, liver cancer's global epidemiology and etiology are shifting, and the literature is rapidly evolving, presenting a challenge to the synthesis of knowledge needed to identify areas of research needs and to develop research agendas focusing on disparities. Machine learning (ML) techniques can be used to semiautomate the literature review process and improve efficiency.

Article Synopsis
  • Understanding the diverse causes of colorectal cancer (CRC) is essential for developing tailored prevention and treatment strategies, as tumors in different locations may develop through distinct mechanisms.
  • A genome-wide association study involving over 48,000 CRC cases revealed 13 new specific risk loci linked to CRC, highlighting significant differences in genetic factors between tumors in the proximal (early) and distal (later) regions of the colorectum.
  • The findings indicate that the genetic risk factors for proximal and distal CRC are different, suggesting that prevention and treatment strategies should be tailored based on the tumor's anatomical location.
