Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) is a condition characterized by intravascular fragmentation of red blood cells, leading to the characteristic finding of schistocytes on a peripheral blood smear. The differential diagnoses of MAHA include thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), infections, malignancies, and solid organ transplantation. The commonly associated malignancies with MAHA are gastric, breast, prostate, lung, and lymphoma.

Introduction: The current understanding of colorectal carcinogenesis is based on the adenoma-carcinoma sequence, where genetics, intestinal microbiota changes and local immunity shifts seem to play the key roles. Despite the emerging evidence of dysbiotic intestinal state and immune-cell infiltration changes in patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma, early and advanced adenoma as precursors of colorectal cancer, and carcinoma as the following progression, are rather less studied. The newly colon-site adapted AI-based analysis of immune infiltrates is able to predict long-term outcomes of colon carcinoma.

Over the years, numerous ligand-based organotin(IV) Schiff base compounds have shown remarkable cytotoxicity and anticancer activities, but their clinical use is restricted by systemic toxicity, prompting the search for targeted therapies. Targeted delivery can be enhanced by exploiting the inherent characteristics of cancer cells such as glutamine addiction, which is essential to support cellular biosynthesis and cell growth to sustain aberrant proliferation. Our previous study revealed glutamine-conjugated organotin(IV) compounds have strong DNA/protein affinities, favorable in silico ADME profiles, and significant antiproliferative activity.

The intratumoral microbiota, fatty acid metabolism (FAM), and tumor microenvironment (TME) all provide insights into the management of colon adenocarcinoma (COAD). But the biological link among the three remains unclear. Here, we analyzed intratumoral microbiome samples and matched host transcriptome samples from 420 patients with COAD in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).

Gastric and colorectal cancers are common malignancies with high incidence and mortality worldwide. Early detection and individualized treatment are crucial to improving patient outcomes. Glutathione peroxidase-8 (GPX8), a member of the glutathione peroxidase family, emerges as a potential target for intervention in the treatment of various cancers.
