Objective: OTUB1 is a member of deubiquitinating enzymes; however, its expression and function in colon cancer are still unclear. The present study aimed at investigating the expression of OTUB1 in colon cancer and the relationship between the expression and some clinicopathologic parameters.
Methods: Immunohistochemistry and quantitative real-time PCR were carried out in selected colon cancer and normal mucosa tissues.
Results: The expression of OTUB1 protein in the colon cancer was significantly higher than normal mucosa, and the OTUB1 mRNA in colon cancer was also 3.15-fold higher than the normal mucosa. The higher expression of OTUB1 in colon cancer was related with tumor size, differentiation and lymph node metastasis.
Conclusions: OTUB1 may play an important role in colon cancer development and metastasis.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant global health challenge, marked by varying incidence and mortality rates across different regions. The pathogenesis of CRC involves multiple stages, including initiation, promotion, progression, and metastasis, influenced by genetic and epigenetic factors. The chaperone protein glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), crucial in regulating the unfolded protein response (UPR) during endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, plays a pivotal role in CRC pathogenesis.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is suggested in locally advanced colon cancer. Data on improved long-term oncological outcomes are lacking, which hampers the implementation in clinical practice. This systematic review provides an overview of the benefits and drawbacks of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced colon cancer.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States despite the availability of effective preventive screening. This project was designed as a community awareness initiative to increase CRC awareness, knowledge, and intent to discuss and complete CRC screening. This quasi-experimental study had a QI focus and used a convenience sample in a public setting assessing CRC awareness, knowledge, and intent to discuss and complete screening after participating in an inflatable colon tour.

Background: The purpose of this study was to look into any potential connections between the occurrence of colon cancer and the condition of the body of lipid accumulation product (LAP) index.
Methods: Using data from the 2009-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), we performed a cross-sectional analysis with 24,592 individuals. Utilizing multivariate logistic regression modelling, the relationship between LAP levels and colon cancer risk was investigated.
