Background: Young adult cancer incidence has been increasing in Taiwan, but no studies have examined their survival trends.
Methods: We analyzed data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database and the U.S.
Background: Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is a rare disease, which prognostic factors were difficult to evaluate. Inflammation markers, like neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), were used as prognosticators for various cancers. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of pretreatment NLR and PLR on LAMN.

However, as the prognostic role of molecular patterns for stage II disease is still unclear, this study aimed to investigate it.
Methods: A total of 509 patients with stage II CRC were enrolled, and all clinical, pathological, and molecular data were collected.
Recent studies suggest that aberrant DNA methylation might occur early and commonly in colorectal tumorigenesis. In 111 normal subjects, the mean LINE-1 methylation level of peripheral blood was 81.0 ± 5.
