Colon cancer may invade the adjacent organ in the absence of distant metastasis, which is called stage T4bM0 colon cancer according to the 7th edition of TNM staging system. It is not rare in clinical setting, and usually recognized intraoperatively. How to deal with this situation is a big challenge for the surgeons. It is difficult to distinguish between dense adhesion and cancerous invasion. Intraoperative biopsy should be avoided because of the risk of tumor cell dissemination and frozen often gives false-negative results. After evaluating the resectability of the tumor sufficiently, the surgeon should make every effort to do an en bloc multivisceral resection and to achieve a margin-free (R0) resection if there is no absolute contraindication. This effort will bring long-term prognosis benefit for the patients with stage cT4bM0 colon cancer.

Background: Colon and rectum cancer (CRC) is a major health burden in China, with notable gender disparities. This study was designed to analyze trends in CRC incidence, prevalence, and mortality from 1990 to 2021 and to project future trends.
Methods: Using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2021, we examined CRC burden in China, including incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and years of life lost (YLLs).

Golgi apparatus (GA) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are two of the interesting subcellular organelles that are critical for protein synthesis, folding, processing, post-translational modifications, and secretion. Consequently, dysregulation in GA and ER and cross-talk between them are implicated in numerous diseases including cancer. As a result, simultaneous visualization of the GA and ER in cancer cells is extremely crucial for developing cancer therapeutics.

Cancer is a major global concern. Despite considerable advancements in cancer therapy and control, there are still large gaps and requirements for development. In recent years, various naturally occurring anticancer drugs have been derived from natural resources, such as alkaloids, glycosides, terpenes, terpenoids, flavones, and polyphenols.

Background: Gastroparesis following complete mesocolic excision (CME) can precipitate a cascade of severe complications, which may significantly hinder postoperative recovery and diminish the patient's quality of life. In the present study, four advanced machine learning algorithms-Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and -nearest neighbor (KNN)-were employed to develop predictive models. The clinical data of critically ill patients transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) post-CME were meticulously analyzed to identify key risk factors associated with the development of gastroparesis.
