Objective: This clinical trial investigated the safety and efficacy of single-cycle pembrolizumab in patients with localized deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) colon cancer.
Background: Neoadjuvant immunotherapy has induced remarkable rates of pathological complete response in patients with dMMR colon cancer. However, the optimal length and type of treatment are yet to be determined.
Background: Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) is widely used in population-based screening for colorectal cancer (CRC). This had led to major challenges regarding colonoscopy capacity. Methods to maintain high sensitivity without compromising the colonoscopy capacity are needed.

The aim of this study was to investigate the risk of post-operative complications and risk of reoperation due to recurrence in patients with sliding hernia based on surgical technique.
Method: The study included male patients receiving hernia repair between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2017.
Purpose: To investigate functional outcomes and quality of life (QoL) after restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) using transanal minimal invasive surgery (TAMIS).
Method: The study consists of two sub-studies. A cohort study comprised 98 consecutive patients, who underwent TAMIS RPC.
Background: Blood-based biomarkers used for colorectal cancer screening need to be developed and validated in appropriate screening populations. We aimed to develop a cancer-associated protein biomarker test for the detection of colorectal cancer in a screening population.
Methods: Participants from the Danish Colorectal Cancer Screening Program were recruited.
