Rationale and design of a prospective, multicenter, cohort study on the evaluation of postoperative Venous ThromboEmbolism incidence in patients with ColoRectal Cancer (CRC-VTE trial).

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a common complication after abdominal surgery. The incidence of VTE after colorectal malignancy is higher than that after general surgery. Although more attention has been paid to the prevention of VTE, there is still a large gap between clinical practice and guideline recommendation.

Verification of data in a nationwide transanal total mesorectal excision registry in China.

Background And Objectives: Transanal total mesorectal excision is a surgical procedure for mid- and low rectal cancer. The Chinese TaTME Registry Collaborative is a nationwide database collecting information on patients who have undergone this procedure.

Methods: Centers were invited by the registry committee to participate in a three-part data audit project: remote audits for data completeness and deviation values, onsite source verification of data accuracy, and an online survey of the characteristics of data managers.

MiR-374a promotes the proliferation of osteosarcoma cell proliferation by targeting Axin2.

Background: MicroRNA-374a (miR-374a) has been implicated in several cancers. However, its role in osteosarcoma (OS) remains unclear. Thus the aim of this study was to investigate its expression and role in progression of OS.
