Synchronous appearance of the primary gastrointestinal malignancies is rare. Coexistence of primary pancreatic and hepatocellular carcinoma as synchronous malignancy is even rarer. We report a case of such combination in a 50 year old female who presented with bleeding per rectum and while evaluating we found simultaneous appearance of primary malignancies of pancreas, liver and solitary colonic metastasis from the pancreas in the background of chronic calcific pancreatitis. To the best of our knowledge this combination of synchronous pancreatic and hepatocellular carcinoma and colonic metastasis from the pancreas is unique.

Lymph node harvest as a predictor of survival for colon cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Surg Pract Sci
September 2023
Division of General Surgery, Department of Surgery, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Background And Objectives: The number of lymph nodes found harboring metastasis can be impacted by the extent of harvest. Guidelines recommend 12 lymph nodes for adequate lymphadenectomy to predict long-term oncologic outcomes, yet different cut-offs remain unevaluated. The aim of this review was to determine cut-offs that may predict survival outcomes.

Department of Stomach and Intestine, Yantai Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical University, Yantai, Shandong, China.
Background: In the past, numerous investigations have delved into the influence of p27 (p27kip) on the prognosis and clinicopathological characteristics of colorectal cancer (CRC), yielding conclusions that are not universally statistically significant, thus rendering the discourse rather contentious.
Methods: We collected available articles published before August 2024 and extracted data to analyze the association between the expression of p27 and the prognosis and clinicopathological features of CRC. In addition, we used Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA), University of Alabama at Birmingham's Cancer Data Analysis Portal (UALCAN), and the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) to validate our results.
Selective expression and significance of ACKR2 in lung aerocytes.

Background: ACKR2 is an atypical chemokine receptor that plays a significant role in regulating inflammation by binding to inflammatory CC chemokines and facilitating their degradation. Previous findings suggest that the genetic absence of ACKR2 leads to heightened tumor growth in inflammation-driven models. Conversely, mice lacking ACKR2 exhibit protection against lung metastasis in melanoma and breast cancer models.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a fatal cancer prevalent worldwide, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a key factor in tumor invasion and metastasis. Piperine, a natural alkaloid known for its antitumor properties, faces limitations in clinical use due to its moderate potency. To address this, our team synthesized and validated a new derivative, HJJ_3_5, which has shown potent antitumor activity against CRC cells.

In patients with synchronic liver colorectal metastasis, resection of the primary tumor and liver metastases is the only potentially curative strategy. In such cases, there is no consensus on whether resection of the primary tumor and metastases should be performed simultaneously or whether a staged approach should be performed (resection of the primary tumor and after, hepatectomy, or hepatectomy first). Patients with no bowel occlusion and with extensive liver disease are advised neoadjuvant oncological therapy.
