Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) could improve local tumor control of locally advanced colon cancer (LACC), but the prognostic value of yp stage in colon cancer remains unknown. Here, we aimed to ascertain yp stage as an indicator for LACC prognosis after NAC.
Methods: The data of patients diagnosed with colon adenocarcinoma between 2004 and 2015 were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. After 1:2 propensity score matching, cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) were compared between the NAC and Non-NAC groups of different stage classifications. The correlation between clinical and pathological factors and CSS was identified.
Results: A total of 49, 149, and 81 matched pairs of stage 0-I, II, and III patients, respectively, were generated for analysis. For stage 0-I ( = 0.011) and III ( = 0.015), only CSS in the NAC groups were inferior. Receiving NAC was an independent prognostic risk factor for patients with stage 0-I (hazard ratio, 7.70; 95% confidence interval, 1.820-32.5; = 0.006) and stage III (hazard ratio, 1.73; 95% confidence interval, 1.11-2.68; = 0.015).
Conclusions: The CSS was poorer among LACC patients who underwent NAC than among those who did not. The yp stage of colon cancer after NAC has distinctive significance, which may contribute to predicting the prognosis and guiding the treatment of LACC patients after NAC.

This study developed a prognostic model for patients with colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) based on glycosylation-associated genes. By analyzing TCGA-COAD data, 110 key genes were identified, and a prognostic model incorporating five glycosylation-related genes was constructed. The model exhibits good predictive performance and is significantly associated with clinical features such as age, N stage, M stage, and lymph node count.

Robotic surgery is extensively used for rectal cancer treatment. Nonetheless, studies on whether to preserve the left colonic artery (LCA) during robotic rectal cancer surgery to reduce complications remain scarce and controversial. This study compared short-term outcomes of high tie (HT) and low tie (LT) ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery in 455 patients undergoing robotic rectal cancer surgery between May 2018 and July 2022.

Introduction: The standard of care for stage III colon cancer is 3 or 6 months of double-drug regimen chemotherapy following radical surgery. However, patients with positive circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) exhibit a high risk of recurrence risk even if they receive standard adjuvant chemotherapy. The potential benefit of intensified adjuvant chemotherapy, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, leucovorin and fluoropyrimidine (FOLFOXIRI), for ctDNA-positive patients remains to be elucidated.

A comprehensive understanding of the dynamic changes in plasma cells (PCs) during inflammation remains elusive. In this study, we analyzed the distinct responses of PCs across different phases of inflammation in a dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced mouse colitis model. Six-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were treated with 2.

Background: Recent research reported that cancer patients had lower risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Common signaling pathways, hormonal systems, and genetic predispositions have been hypothesized as important factors contributing to this inverse association. However, the exact mechanisms are still unknown.
