Overexpression of the EGFR ligands amphiregulin (AREG)/epiregulin (EREG) may be a surrogate of EGFR dependency regardless of sidedness in metastatic colorectal cancer. High AREG/EREG may be coupled with negative hyper-selection (i.e., lack of genomic drivers of primary resistance beyond RAS and BRAF) to identify patients with right-sided tumors and potential sensitivity to EGFR blockade. See related article by Williams et al., p. 4153.

Importance: High-quality colonoscopy reduces the risks of colorectal cancer by increasing the adenoma detection rate. Routine use of an automatic quality control system (AQCS) to assist in colorectal adenoma detection should be considered.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of an AQCS on the adenoma detection rate among colonoscopists who were moderate- and low-level detectors during routine colonoscopy.

Importance: Transportation insecurity and lack of social support are 2 understudied social determinants of health that contribute to excess morbidity, mortality, and acute health care utilization. However, whether and how these social determinants of health are associated with cancer screening has not been determined and has implications for preventive care.
Objective: To determine whether transportation insecurity or social support are associated with screening adherence for colorectal, breast, and cervical cancer.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most deadly cancer diagnosed in both men and women. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) treatment frequently causes the CRC cells to become chemoresistance, which has a negative impact on prognosis. Using bioinformatic techniques, this work describes important genes and biological pathways linked to 5-FU resistance in CRC cells.

Somatic clonal expansion refers to the proliferation and expansion of a cell clone within a multicellular organism. Since cancer also results from the uncontrolled proliferation of few cell clones, it is generally believed that aging-associated somatic clonal expansion observed in normal tissues represents a precancerous condition. For instance, hematological malignancy is often preceded by clonal hematopoiesis.
