Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is considered a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Egypt. Colonoscopy is the standard for detection of lesions. The combination of screening methods is effective. Decrease and loss of DPP-IV/CD26 expression and activity are found in microenvironments of specific tumors which are related to impaired immune functions.
Aim Of The Work: To study sCD26 as a noninvasive test in Egyptian patients with CRC as well as their correlation to CEA, CA 19-9 & other -biochemical parameters and determine the possibility to use it as a diagnostic tool for CRC.
Patients And Methods: This study included 40 patients divided into two groups: group I: comprised 20 patients with CRC, group II: comprised 20 patients with other colorectal disease together with 20 healthy control.
Results: There was highly significant decrease in sCD26 in group I in comparison to group II and III. CD26 at cutoff 4.69 mg/mL, its sensitivity was 85% and its specificity was 87.5%.
Conclusion: CD26 is involved in the pathogenesis of colorectal diseases; sCD26 is diminished in CRC patients suggesting the potential utility of a sCD26 for diagnosis.

Background: Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase1 (IRAK1) plays a considerable role in the inflammatory signaling pathway. The current study aimed to identify any association between (rs1059703) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and vulnerability to rheumatological diseases in the pediatric and adult Egyptian population.
Patients And Methods: The current study included four patient groups: adult Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE), and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

Urinary bladder cancer (UBC) is the ninth most common cancer worldwide. Despite the reliance of UBC therapy on definite pathological grading and classifications, the clinical response among patients varies widely. The molecular basis of this type of cancer appeals to considerable research; hence, new diagnostic and therapeutic options are introduced.

Purpose: Acute kidney injury is a sentinel event affecting colorectal cancer patients either as a consequence of surgery or systemic chemotherapy. It is highly correlated with both short and long-term adverse outcomes. This work aimed to study the prevalence, risk factors, and impact on survival of postoperative (PO-AKI) and post-chemotherapy (PC-AKI) after colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery in Egyptian patients.
