Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancer. Caught early, it is often curable. The important role in functional recovery of these patients, have enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) clinical care protocol and early rehabilitation. The goal of this research is the objective evaluation of the effects of early rehabilitation in patients after surgical treatment of colorectal cancer, respecting their functional recovery and quality of life, before and after rehabilitation. Tis study was made as experimental, randomized, controlled clinical trial, opened type.The examination included 58 patients (39 males and 19 females), age from 36 to 85 years, average 63.3, with surgically treated colorectal cancer. All patients had appropriate early multimodal accelerated rehabilitation program.The mean value of this program was 7,24 days. As observing parameter was used short form, 36 items health related questionnaire (SF-36), with two summary measures-Physical component summary (PCS) and Mental component summary (MCS), for the evaluation of quality of life, before and after treatment. For the statistical analysis of the aquired data, before and after therapy, was used Student's t-test. Afer therapy, the quality of life of patients was significantly improved, physical health (p< 0.01), as well as mental health (p<0,01). SF36 score after rehabilitation, show important improvement of quality of life in early treated patients. These results show exellent therapeutic possibilities of enhaced recovery clinical care protocol and early rehabilitation procedures. Acording to the results of this study, it can be concluded that early rehabilitation accelerated program is very effective in treatment of patients with surgically treated colorectal cancer.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the most common causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Its progression is influenced by complex interactions involving genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), have been identified as key regulators of gene expression, affecting diverse biological processes, notably programmed cell death (PCD).

TP53 germline testing and hereditary cancer: how somatic events and clinical criteria affect variant detection rate.

Genome Med

January 2025

Hereditary Cancer Group, Oncobell Program, Institut d'Investigació Biomèdica de Bellvitge (IDIBELL), Av. Gran Via 199-203, L'Hospitalet del Llobregat, 08908, Spain.

Background: Germline heterozygous pathogenic variants (PVs) in TP53 cause Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS), a condition associated with increased risk of multiple tumor types. As the associated cancer risks were refined over time, clinical criteria also evolved to optimize diagnostic yield. The implementation of multi-gene panel germline testing in different clinical settings has led to the identification of TP53 PV carriers outside the classic LFS-associated cancer phenotypes, leading to a broader cancer phenotypic redefinition and to the renaming of the condition as "heritable TP53-related cancer syndrome" (hTP53rc).

Background: Whether the intake of whole grain foods can protect against lung cancer is a long-standing question of considerable public health import, but the epidemiologic evidence has been limited. Therefore we aim to investigate the relationship between whole grain food consumption and lung cancer in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial (PLCO) cohort.

Methods: Diet was assessed with a self-administered Diet History Questionnaire (DHQ) at baseline.

Clinical and economic effects of the transformation from an open to a laparoscopic center for colorectal surgery.

Langenbecks Arch Surg

Department of General Surgery, Westküstenklinikum Heide, Esmarchstraße 50, 25746, Heide, Germany.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of transitioning from open to laparoscopic surgery for colorectal carcinoma in a primary care hospital setting. Despite the recognized benefits of laparoscopic surgery in postoperative recovery and its demonstrated oncological equivalence, only a minority of patients (30-40%) in Germany undergo laparoscopic procedures, primarily due to concerns which, in addition to the perioperative quality data and economic aspects, focus on patient safety.

Methods: Over a three-year period (2012-2014), the transformation process was observed in a colorectal cancer center.

Background: Inadequate bowel perfusion is among risk factors for colorectal anastomotic leaks. Perfusion can be assessed with indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG) during colon resections. Possible benefits from its systematic use in high-risk patients with rectal cancer remain inconsistent.
