It is now widely recognized that a range of human diseases, including obesity, cancer and inflammatory bowel disease, is strongly linked to the microbiota. For decades, the microbiota has been proposed to contribute to the pathogenesis of colon cancer. Our recent work reveals that the organization of the mucosal microbiota into biofilms marks a subset of human colon cancer. Further, biofilm-positive colon mucosa in the colon cancer host yields an infrequently detected polyamine metabolite, N(1), N(12)-diacetylspermine, that deserves further study to determine its utility as a marker for colon neoplasia.

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.

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.

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.
