Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease, is known to increase the risk of colitis-associated cancer (CAC). CAC has been found to be unresponsive to standard chemotherapy regimens, and the current treatments do not utilize effective small-molecule drugs and colon-targeted delivery systems. Previous studies indicated that the M13-nano-liposome (NL) formulation can effectively target the colon and reshape the gut microbiota in ex vivo cultures, generating altered microbial metabolites that can efficiently prevent chronic UC. In this study, we tested the cancer cell uptake ability of the NL formulation and investigated the potential of the M13-NL formulation to prevent CAC in the azoxymethane (AOM)-exposed IL10 mouse model. Our findings demonstrate that oral administration of M13-NL prevents tumor development in AOM-exposed IL10 mice, suggesting that M13-NL is a promising oral drug formulation for preventing CAC.

Crohns Colitis 360
January 2025
Department of Pediatrics, Georgetown University, Washington DC, USA.
Background: The prevalence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) is higher than in the general population, in Latin America there is a progressive increase of UC, and information about CRC screening in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is scarce. The aim of this study was to analyze the findings of endoscopic surveillance of CRC in patients with IBD according to available technology.
Methods: Multicenter, cross-sectional, analytical study conducted in Latin American countries, in patients with UC, predominantly with more than 8 years of diagnosis and different degrees of disease activity.

Purpose: BMS-986299 is a first-in-class, NOD-, LRR-, and pyrin-domain containing-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome agonist enhancing adaptive immune and T-cell memory responses.
Materials And Methods: This was a phase-I (NCT03444753) study that assessed the safety and tolerability of intra-tumoral BMS-986299 monotherapy (part 1A) and in combination (part 1B) with nivolumab, and ipilimumab in advanced solid tumors. Reported here are single-center results.

Université Paris-Saclay, UVSQ, Inserm, Gustave Roussy, CESP, Villejuif, France.
Background: Association between dietary factors and the risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been studied extensively. However, identification of deleterious dietary patterns merits further study.
Aim: To investigate the risk of developing Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) according to the inflammatory score of the diet (ISD) in the multinational European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort.
Prostate Int
September 2024
Department of Urology, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam, Korea.
Background: The aim of this study was to determine whether inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with the risk of developing prostate cancer (PCa) through a population-based study.
Materials And Methods: Male patients aged ≥40 years, diagnosed with IBD from 2010 to 2013 and without IBD were identified and followed-up till 2019. A matched cohort of male patients with and without IBD in a ratio of 1:4 was created based on age, income level, and Charlson comorbidity index.

Background And Objective: Cancer is one of the most difficult diseases facing modern medicine, and increasing amounts of research and clinical treatments are being applied to the treatment of cancer. Immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy, has revolutionized the treatment and overall survival of patients with several different types of cancer. Approximately one-third of patients treated with ICIs may experience immune-related adverse events (irAEs).
