Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) can regulate physiological and pathological functions, exhibiting a wide range of roles in cell biology. Moreover, many lncRNAs are dysregulated in various cancers, including colon cancer. In this study, we investigated the role of the lncRNA LINC00355 in colon cancer, after first establishing its interaction with GTF2B, and ITGA2 on the LncMap database. The predicted relationships between the lncRNA LINC00355, GTF2B, and ITGA2 were identified using luciferase reporter assay, RIP, and ChIP experiments. Western blot analysis and RT-qPCR were applied to determine expression pattern of lncRNA LINC00355 and ITGA2 in colon cancer cells. Additionally, EdU, TUNEL, Cell-adhesion and Transwell assay was used for the detection of the effects of this axis on proliferation, apoptosis, adhesion, chemotaxis and metastasis. LncRNA LINC00355 targeted IGFBP2 through the recruitment of GTF2B. LncRNA LINC00355 was highly expressed in colon cancer cells, and overexpression of lncRNA LINC00355 increased the expression of IGFBP2 and GTF2B, and thereby promoted the proliferation, chemotaxis, invasion, and migration in colon cancer. In summary, downregulation of lncRNA LINC00355 in colon cancer inhibited tumor growth in colon cancer through effects on the GTF2B/IGFBP2 axis.

Background: Early anal canal cancer is frequently treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) to preserve anal function. However, if the lesion is in the anal canal, then significant difficulties such as bleeding and challenges associated with scope manipulation can arise.
Case Summary: A 70-year-old woman undergoing follow-up after transverse colon cancer surgery was diagnosed with anal canal cancer extending to the dentate line.

Background: Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is a malignancy with a high mortality rate and complex biological characteristics and heterogeneity, which poses challenges for clinical treatment. Anoikis is a type of programmed cell death that occurs when cells lose their attachment to the extracellular matrix (ECM), and it plays a crucial role in tumor metastasis. However, the specific biological link between anoikis and COAD, as well as its mechanisms in tumor progression, remains unclear, making it a potential new direction for therapeutic strategy research.

Background: Polydatin (3,4',5-trihydroxy-3-β-d-glucopyranoside, PD) is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Oxaliplatin (OXA)-based chemotherapy is the first-line treatment for metastatic and recurrent colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the lack of selectivity for normal cells often results in side effects.

Introduction: Various reports have confirmed that low skeletal muscle mass, a proxy marker of sarcopenia, can be a risk factor for surgical and oncological outcomes in colon cancer. We aimed to investigate the effects of skeletal muscle mass index (SMMI) on postoperative complications, overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS) in older patients with colon cancer who underwent elective curative colon resections.
Materials And Methods: Patients over 65 years old with stage I-III colon cancer who underwent elective curative colon resections between January 2015 and December 2023 were included in this single-center retrospective longitudinal study.

Background: The colon and rectum are highly innervated, with neural components within the tumor microenvironment playing a significant role in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. While perineural invasion (PNI) is associated with poor prognosis in CRC, the impact of nerve density and diameter on tumor behavior remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of nerve characteristics in CRC and to verify the impact of nerves on tumor growth.
