Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the occurrence of metachronous colorectal cancer in patients diagnosed with early-onset colorectal cancer (under 50 years old), finding an overall incidence of 2.6%.
  • - It highlights that patients with Lynch syndrome have a significantly higher incidence of metachronous colorectal cancer at 18.43%, while those with a family history have a rate of 10.52%.

HO-mediated oxidative stress can modulate Wnt/β-catenin signaling and metabolic reprogramming of the TME. Currently, it is unclear how mild/moderate oxidative stress (eustress) modulates Wnt/β-catenin/APC and JNK signaling relationships in primary and metastatic CRC cells.
