Published: June 2020

In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Morral et al. (2020) shed new light on the hierarchical organization of cells within colorectal cancer. They show that tumor cells at the apex of this hierarchy reside in particular tumor zones and possess high protein synthesis activity. Interference with their biosynthetic activity results in an irreversible growth arrest of CRC.

Purpose: Locally advanced colorectal tumors frequently invade adjacent organs, particularly the urinary bladder in the sigmoid colon and upper rectum, complicating multivisceral resections. This study compared postoperative outcomes of partial cystectomy (PC) and total cystectomy (TC) in patients with locally advanced colorectal cancer.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Central Register of Clinical Trials, and Web of Science for studies published up to November 2024.

Introduction: The objective of this study is to compare the 5 year overall survival of patients with stage I-III colon cancer treated by laparoscopic colectomy versus open colectomy.

Methods: Using Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Cancer Registry data from 2008 to 2018, we will emulate a phase III, multicenter, open-label, two-parallel-arm hypothetical target trial in adult patients with stage I-III colon cancer who received laparoscopic or open colectomy as an elective treatment. An inverse-probability weighted Royston‒Parmar parametric survival model (RPpsm) will be used to estimate the hazard ratio of laparoscopic versus open surgery after confounding factors are balanced between the two treatment arms.

Designing dual-targeted nanomedicines to enhance tumor delivery efficacy is a complex challenge, largely due to the barrier posed by blood vessels during systemic delivery. Effective transport across endothelial cells is, therefore, a critical topic of study. Herein, we present a synthetic biology-based approach to engineer dual-targeted ferritin nanocages (Dt-FTn) for understanding receptor-mediated transport across tumor endothelial cells.

Thiamine Deficiency Is Common and Underrecognized in Emergency Department Oncology Patients.

J Clin Med

January 2025

Department of Emergency Medicine, Henry Ford Health, Detroit, MI 48202, USA.

: Wernicke's encephalopathy can occur in oncology patients independent of alcohol use, likely resulting from poor dietary thiamine intake. High metabolic demands, such as those in acute illnesses seen in the emergency department (ED), can exacerbate thiamine deficiency. In this study, our objective was to assess the incidence of thiamine deficiency in ED oncology patients, which could lead to Wernicke's encephalopathy or other thiamine deficiency disorders if left untreated.

: Timely detection and removal of colonic adenomas are critical for preventing colorectal cancer. : This study analyzed differences in colonic adenoma characteristics based on colonoscopy history by reviewing the medical records of 14,029 patients who underwent colonoscopy between January and June 2020 across 40 primary medical institutions in Korea. : Adenoma and advanced neoplasia characteristics varied significantly with colonoscopy history ( < 0.
