Expression and clinical significance of SALL4 and β-catenin in colorectal cancer.

Previous studies on the expression of Sal-like 4 (SALL4), a zinc finger transcription factor, had conflicting results in colorectal cancer (CRC). The main aim of this study was to investigate the expression of SALL4 and its relationship with β-catenin in CRC. Immunohistochemistry was performed to examine the expression of SALL4 and β-catenin in a cohort of 149 patients with CRC, 12 with atypical hyperplasia, 25 with benign tumor and 38 with normal tissue.

Long-Term Diabetes Mellitus Is Associated with an Increased Risk of Pancreatic Cancer: A Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: Previous studies have shown a bidirectional relationship between diabetes and pancreatic cancer (PC). In particular, new-onset diabetes might be induced by PC, and people with long-term diabetes might be at increased risk for the development of PC. The purpose of our study was to examine whether long-term diabetes represented an independent risk factor for PC development.
