Deficiency of smooth muscle cells can lead to dysfunction and engorgement of blood vessels termed as hemangioma, arteriovenous malformations, and venous malformations (VMs). Anorectal VM is a rare disease. It can present with massive hematochezia. An optimal treatment of anorectal VMs has not been defined. Surgery is an option if the lesion can be resected completely. Endoscopic injection sclerotherapy has been reported to be effective in treating small colorectal VMs. However, it has rarely been described in the treatment of large VMs. In this study, we describe a rare case of large anorectal VMs treated with microfoam sclerotherapy.

The aim of this study was to describe and discuss according to literature the three cases of ARM in adolescents.

In situ vaccine (ISV) can activate the anti-tumor immune system by inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) at the tumor site. However, the development of tumor ISV still faces challenges due to insufficient tumor antigens released by tumor cells and the existence of tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment (TIME). Targeting the STING pathway has been reported to enhance the adjuvant effects of in situ tumor vaccines by initiating innate immunity.

Introduction: The efficacy of radiotherapy in colorectal cancer (CRC) is often limited by radiation resistance. Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) is well known for its role in repairing double-strand DNA breaks within the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway. However, whether ATM mediates other mechanisms contributing to radiation resistance remains insufficiently investigated.

Background: Management of anorectal cancers requires a multidisciplinary team approach. Recently, large language models have been suggested as potential tools for various applications in health care.
Objective: Assess suggested management recommendations provided by a generative artificial intelligence chatbot with those of a colorectal cancer multidisciplinary team to evaluate applicability in clinical settings.

Pediatric Gastroenterology, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Background: One in three children with Crohn's disease develop perianal fistula complications (PFCs), among the most disturbing and difficult-to-treat disease-related complications. Retrospective evidence suggests PFCs may be preventable.
Objective: We aimed to determine if early antitumour necrosis factor-alpha (anti-TNF⍺) therapy prevents PFC development in a well-characterised prospective cohort of paediatric patients with Crohn's disease who were free from PFC at enrolment.
