The work analyzes the results of surgical treatment of 545 elderly and senile patients with complicated forms of colon cancer. Among colon cancer complications frequently encountered acute intestinal obstruction (AIO) - 413 (75,8%), less likely to have been identified - perifocal inflammation (PPV) with abscess - 80 (14,7%), bleeding - 30 (5,5 %) and tumor perforation - 22 (4%). Operations on the colon were performed as a traditional method - 408 (74,9%) and with the use of endovideosurgical technologies - 137 (25,1%). 335 (61,5%) of radical, 50 (9,2%) palliative, 160 (29,3%) symptomatic operations were performed. Operations on the colon, performed for the development of cancer complications, were accompanied by a high mortality rate (22,9%) and a high incidence of postoperative complications (37,1%). The most frequent wound complications were 105 (19,3%) and pneumonia 67 (12,3%). The highest postoperative mortality was observed after operations for tumor perforation of colon cancer (59,1%). Endomedosurgical operations on the large intestine were accompanied by fewer postoperative complications (17,5%) and postoperative lethality (2,2%).

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.
