Article Synopsis
  • Researchers studied a type of RNA called lncRNA HOTTIP to see how it affects colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.
  • They found that lncRNA HOTTIP is more active in cancer tissues than in healthy tissues and is linked to more severe cancer stages.
  • Higher levels of lncRNA HOTTIP could mean patients have a worse prognosis, suggesting it might help doctors understand how serious the cancer is for future patients.

The long- and short-term outcomes in 21 patients with right colon cancer after right hemicolectomy and multivisceral resection surgery were investigated. Short-term therapeutic effects and long-term survival rate were retrospectively analyzed in patients with right colon cancer. These individuals underwent right hemicolectomy in combination with multivisceral resections including pancreatic head, duodenum, kidney, liver, gallbladder, and abdominal wall at the Department of General Surgery in the Henan Tumor Hospital between January 2003 and August 2014.
