Objective: To screen out specifically-expressed serum protein markers in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and to establish a serum protein fingerprint diagnostic model for distinguishing FAP from sporadic colorectal adenomas.
Methods: Serum samples were collected from 19 FAP cases and 16 sporadic colorectal adenomas with informed consent. Serum protein fingerprint profiles were detected by SELDI-TOF-MS with CM 10 protein chip to screen out FAP adenoma-related serum protein markers, and support vector machine (SVG) technique was used to establish the diagnostic model to distinguish FAP from sporadic colorectal adenomas.
Results: Six differently-expressed protein peaks (P < 0.01) were detected. Among them proteins of 5640, 3160, 4180 and 4290 m/z were highly expressed in FAP adenomas, and proteins of 3940 and 3400 m/z were highly expressed in sporadic colorectal adenomas. The accuracy of diagnostic model established with SVG to distinguish FAP adenomas and sporadic colorectal adenomas was 94.7% and 93.7%, respectively.
Conclusion: SELDI-TOF-MS can be effectively used to screen out the differentially expressed serum protein markers in FAP adenomas and sporadic colorectal adenomas, and a diagnostic model build by SVG to distinguish them has been successfully established. Therefore, a useful breakthrough point for research on molecular mechanisms of FAP pathogenesis is provided.

Introduction: 65%-70% of colorectal cancer (CRC) cases are considered sporadic; they arise under the influence of environmental factors in individuals lacking a family history of CRC. Low-risk genetic variants are believed to contribute to CRC risk, in tandem with lifestyle factors.
Methods: Six hundred sixteen nonfamilial Swedish CRC cases with at least 1 of the following 5 risk factors: smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, adherence to an unhealthy diet, and excess body weight were included in this study.

Background: We explored the clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcomes of colitis-associated colorectal cancer and compared with sporadic colorectal cancer in Taiwan.
Methods: In this retrospective study spanning 1987-2022, colitis-associated colorectal cancers diagnosed according to endoscopic and pathological reports from 14 tertiary centers were reported to our cohort. Clinical demographics, endoscopic findings, histological results, treatment modalities, and outcomes were analyzed.

Lynch syndrome is rarely associated with rectal cancer (RC) and thus, metachronous RC has been scarcely investigated. This study aimed to analyze the mucosal immune microenvironment in sporadic and metachronous RC. We analyzed the mucosal immune microenvironment in the 25 metachronous RCs present in the IMMUNOREACT 1 and 2 multicentre observational studies (624 patients).

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer mortality in the United States. Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a hereditary syndrome that raises the risk of developing CRC, with total colectomy as the only effective prevention. Even though FAP is rare (0.
