Background: At present no objective parameters to identify the risk of liver metastasis after surgery have been established in rectal cancer.
Objective: To identify the chromosomal aberrations that are correlated with liver metastasis of rectal cancer.
Methods: Primary tumor tissues of rectal carcinoma were analyzed by array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH). Genomic aberrations were identified by Genomic Workbench and MD-SeeGH.
Results: The most frequent gains in rectal cancer were at 20q11.21-q13.33, 8q11.21-q24.3, 13q12.11-q14.2 and losses in 5q13.2, 8p23.3-p22, 17p13.3-p13.2 and 18q11.2-q23. Seven amplifications at 6p21.1, 8q24.21, 8q24.3, 13q13.2 and 20q13.2-q13.32 and nine homozygous deletions at 1q31.3, 4q12-q13.1, 4q32.3-q33, 5q13.2, 8p23.2, 8q11.23, 16p13.2, 19p13.11 and 19q13.41 were identified. Both frequency plot comparison and SAM (Significance analysis of microarray) methods indicated that losses at 1p35.3, 4p14, 14q23.1-q32.11 and 18p11.32-p11.21 were more frequent in patients without liver metastasis.
Conclusions: These liver metastasis associated genomic changes may be useful to reveal the mechanism of metastasis and identify candidate biomarkers.

Complete blood counts as potential risk factors of early dissemination to liver and lungs in resected colorectal cancer: a retrospective cohort study.
Int J Colorectal Dis
January 2025
Department of Pathomorphology, Medical University of Gdańsk, Gdańsk, Poland.
Purpose: Liver and lung metastases demonstrate distinct biological, particularly immunological, characteristics. We investigated whether preoperative complete blood count (CBC) parameters, which may reflect the immune system condition, predict early dissemination to the liver and lungs in colorectal cancer (CRC).
Methods: In this retrospective single-centre study, we included 268 resected CRC cases with complete 2-year follow-up and analysed preoperative CBC for association with early liver or lung metastasis development.
Fibroblast activation protein peptide-targeted NIR-I/II fluorescence imaging for stable and functional detection of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery and Liver Transplantation Center, The Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University, 52 Mei Hua East Road, Zhuhai, 519000, China.
Purpose: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the primary stromal component of the tumor microenvironment in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), affecting tumor progression and post-resection recurrence. Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a key biomarker of CAFs. However, there is limited evidence on using FAP as a target in near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging for HCC.

Department of Laboratory Medicine, Rudong Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Rudong, Jiangsu, China.
Aim: The objective of this study was to investigate the prognostic significance of the preoperative serum albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).
Methods: Preoperative ALBI data from 1506 CRC patients were categorized into high-value and low-value groups, and the clinicopathological characteristics of these groups were compared. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was employed to investigate the risk factors associated with distant metastasis.
Exploring the Therapeutic Potential of TROP2 Gene Silencing in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Professor Biochemistry Division, Chemistry Department, Faculty of Science, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt.
Background: Trophoblast Cell Surface Antigen 2 (Trop2) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that has been implicated in the progression and metastasis of various cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Targeting Trop2 expression may represent a promising approach for the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effects of Trop2 knockdown using small interfering RNA (siRNA) on the phenotypic and molecular characteristics of the HepG2 liver cancer cell line.
Association of Chronic Hepatitis B With Colorectal Cancer and Its Dual Impact on Colorectal Liver Metastasis: A Narrative Review.
Cureus

Internal Medicine, California Institute of Behavioral Neurosciences & Psychology, Fairfield, USA.
Viral hepatitis B is infamous for being contracted in young adulthood and adolescence, as high-risk behaviors like unprotected sexual intercourse and intravenous drug abuse are common. Most infections caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) are cleared without any long-term sequelae, but some may persist and cause chronic hepatitis B (CHB). This chronicity may produce a state of prolonged inflammation and significantly increase the risk of developing colorectal adenomas (CRA) and colorectal carcinomas (CRC).
