Tumour deposit count is an independent prognostic factor in colorectal cancer-a population-based cohort study.

Background: Tumour deposits are a prognostic factor for overall survival and distant metastasis in lymph node-negative colorectal cancer. However, the current TNM staging system does not account for the presence of tumour deposits in lymph node-positive colorectal cancer, or for the presence of multiple deposits. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic effect of tumour deposit count in patients with colorectal cancer.

Anastomotic leakage after resection for rectal cancer and recurrence-free survival in relation to postoperative C-reactive protein levels.

Background: Anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer surgery is linked to reduced survival and higher recurrence rates. While an aggravated inflammatory response may worsen outcomes, few studies have explored the combined effects of leakage and inflammation.

Methods: This is a retrospective multicenter cohort study including patients operated with anterior resection for rectal cancer in Sweden during 2014-2018.

Does Fusobacterium in Colorectal Cancer Sites Originate From the Oral Cavity? A Pilot Study.

Objectives: Fusobacterium can contribute to oral diseases, but also pose as a systemic risk factor. This genus, and especially F. nucleatum, can be found in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissue and is involved in multiple aspects of this type of cancer.

Oncological outcome following Hartmann's procedure compared with anterior resection and abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer-The type of procedure does not influence local recurrence or distant metastasis: A population-based study.

Aim: The type of surgical procedure used in rectal cancer treatment may affect cancer recurrence. The aim of this study was to determine whether the type of procedure influences oncological outcomes in rectal cancer surgery.

Method: We gathered data from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry regarding patients with TNM Stage I-III rectal cancer who underwent R0/R1 surgery from 2013 to 2017.
