Introduction: The standard of care for stage III colon cancer is 3 or 6 months of double-drug regimen chemotherapy following radical surgery. However, patients with positive circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) exhibit a high risk of recurrence risk even if they receive standard adjuvant chemotherapy. The potential benefit of intensified adjuvant chemotherapy, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, leucovorin and fluoropyrimidine (FOLFOXIRI), for ctDNA-positive patients remains to be elucidated.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to find out if locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) cases with a negative MRI-predicted mesorectal fascia (MRF) could skip preoperative radiation therapy (CRT) and go straight to surgery instead.
  • - It involved a randomized clinical trial with 275 patients, comparing outcomes between those who had primary surgery (intervention group) and those who received preoperative CRT followed by surgery (control group).
  • - After analyzing 3-year disease-free survival rates, results showed that the intervention group had a rate of 81.82% compared to 85.37% in the control group, leading to the trial's early termination due to more local recurrences in the intervention group.

Background: Stratified treatment has been recommended for rectal cancer. Our previous multicenter randomized trial showed that low-/intermediate-risk rectal cancer patients did not benefit much from neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. In our phase II study, we found that stage II/III rectal cancer patients with low-/intermediate risks can be managed by neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone and achieve a good response.

Background: Extralevator abdominoperineal resection (ELAPE) has increased perineal wound complications due to the extended resection area. Closure of the pelvic peritoneum (CPP) may exclude the abdominal content from descending into the pelvic cavity and reduce the incidence of perineal complications after ELAPE. We have previously introduced bladder peritoneum flap reconstruction (BLAPER) as a novel method for patients in whom traditional CPP is not possible.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on understanding survival and recurrence rates in stage I colorectal cancer (CRC) patients by analyzing preoperative serological values.
  • A retrospective analysis of 476 patients was conducted, revealing age, white blood cell count (WBC), and systemic inflammation index (SII) as independent factors affecting overall survival (OS), while elevated carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels were linked to disease-free survival (DFS) rates.
  • The findings indicate that stage I CRC patients still face a notable risk of recurrence, highlighting the need for further research to identify those at higher risk for relapse despite having less severe disease.

Background: With local recurrence of rectal cancer continuing to decrease, distant recurrence is becoming a major concern, especially for patients with low- and intermediate-risk stage II/III rectal cancer. Therefore, a new treatment strategy is warranted for these patients. This single-arm phase II trial aimed to assess the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) in low- and intermediate-risk stage II/III rectal cancer and explore candidate radiological and clinical parameters for early prediction of tumour response after two cycles of CAPOX.

Genome sequencing has revealed that each Streptomyces contains a wide range of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) and has the capability to produce more novel natural products than what is expected. However, most gene clusters for secondary metabolite biosynthesis are cryptic under normal growth conditions. In Streptomyces tsukubaensis, combining overexpression of the putative SARPs (Streptomyces antibiotic regulatory proteins) and bioactivity-guided screening, the silent gene cluster (tsu) was successfully activated and a novel bioactive anthracycline tsukubarubicin was further isolated and identified.
