Objective: To explore the clinical and pathological features of synchronous double primary cancer in stomach and large intestine.

Methods: The clinical data of 35 patients with synchronous double primary cancer in stomach and large intestine out of 1117 patients with gastric and colorectal cancers treated during the period from January 2001 to December 2006, including 766 cases of colorectal cancer and 351 cases of gastric cancer, were analyzed.

Results: The 35 patients of synchronous double primary cancer in stomach and large intestine, accounting for 3.13% of the cases of gastric and colorectal cancers, 23 males and 12 females, aged 66.7 (44 - 89), could be divided into 4 groups: intestine-intestine group (n = 15), stomach-stomach group (n = 3), intestine-extra-intestine group (n = 13), and stomach-extra-stomach group (n = 9); the last 2 groups included 5 case with their primary cancer located in stomach-and large intestine respectively. The number of cases with the 2 primary carcinoma foci both located in the entero-intestinal duct, stomach and large intestine, was 23, more than that of the cases with their 2 carcinoma foci located in stomach or large intestine and other organs respectively (n = 12). The 3-year survival rate of the large intestine-large intestine group was higher than that of the stomach-stomach group.

Conclusion: Early diagnosis, correct distinguishing of the primary and metastatic cancer play an important role in the treatment of synchronous double primary cancer and improvement of the prognosis.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the United Kingdom and the second largest cause of cancer death.

Aim: To develop and validate a model using available information at the time of faecal immunochemical testing (FIT) in primary care to improve selection of symptomatic patients for CRC investigations.

Methods: We included all adults (≥ 18 years) referred to Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust between 2018 and 2022 with symptoms of suspected CRC who had a FIT.

Objectives: To assess the usefulness of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with early-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Materials And Methods: Seventy-five patients (mean age 62 years) diagnosed with cT1-2 N0 underwent SLNB with Tc, lymphoscintigraphy/SPECT-CT, and gamma probe detection with intraoperative histological examination of the resected sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). Elective neck dissection was performed during the same surgical procedure of primary tumor resection when malignant deposits were detected microscopically.

Large-scale gene-environment interaction (GxE) discovery efforts often involve analytical compromises for the sake of data harmonization and statistical power. Refinement of exposures, covariates, outcomes, and population subsets may be helpful to establish often-elusive replication and evaluate potential clinical utility. Here, we used additional datasets, an expanded set of statistical models, and interrogation of lipoprotein metabolism via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based lipoprotein subfractions to refine a previously discovered GxE modifying the relationship between physical activity (PA) and HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C).

Objective: Margin distance is a significant prognosticator in oral cavity cancer but its role in HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma [HPV(+)OPSCC] remains unclear. Here, we investigate the impact of margin distance on locoregional recurrence in HPV(+)OPSCC.

Study Design: This is a retrospective cohort study of surgically treated HPV(+)OPSCC patients.
