Around 10% to 16% of colorectal cancer patients have a pathogenic variant in a cancer susceptibility gene. Some of these variants are in cancer genes that are associated with colorectal cancer while others are not. The hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes can be divided into two major categories, the nonpolyposis and the polyposis conditions. The nonpolyposis conditions can be divided into those that lead to colorectal tumors with defective mismatch repair and those that do not. The polyposis conditions are further divided by predominant histology into the adenomatous, hamartomatous, serrated, and mixed polyposis conditions. All of these conditions are described in detail herein.

Background: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a promising prognostic marker for patients undergoing hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). However, its prognostic value in patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) has not been sufficiently addressed.
Methods: From 2013 to 2023, a cohort of 692 patients with CRLM receiving hepatectomy were enrolled in five centers.

Background: Effective treatment for patients with metastatic cancer is limited, particularly for colorectal cancer patients with metastatic liver lesions (mCRC), where accessibility to numerous tumours is essential for favourable clinical outcomes. Oncolytic viruses (OVs) selectively replicate in cancer cells; however, direct targeting of inaccessible lesions is limited when using conventional intravenous or intratumoural administration routes.
Methods: We conducted a multi-centre, dose-escalation, phase I study of vaccinia virus, TG6002, via intrahepatic artery (IHA) delivery in combination with the oral pro-drug 5-fluorocytosine to fifteen mCRC patients.

Background: Colorectal obstruction is a critical condition requiring prompt diagnosis and intervention. Gastrografin, a water-soluble contrast agent, combines diagnostic and therapeutic benefits, facilitating bowel cleansing and enhancing intestinal motility. This study assessed the safety and effectiveness of Gastrografin enemas in emergency settings.

Metabolic reprogramming of tumor cells dynamically reshapes the distribution of nutrients and signals in the tumor microenvironment (TME), affecting intercellular interactions and resulting in metabolic immune suppression. Increased glucose uptake and metabolism are characteristic of many tumors. Meanwhile, the progression of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) relies on lipid metabolism.
