Objective: We assessed the real-world performance of stool-based tests (SBTs) for colorectal cancer screening.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective review of average-risk individuals with positive SBT for advanced neoplasia (adenocarcinoma, advanced adenoma, and/or advanced serrated lesions) detection at follow-up colonoscopy.
Results: There was no statistical difference in the detection of advanced neoplasia (P= 0.16) between SBTs [30.7% for multitargeted stool DNA (mt-sDNA) vs 22.8% for fecal immunochemical test]. However, there was a significant difference in the detection of advanced serrated lesions (11.3% for mt-sDNA vs 1.8% for fecal immunochemical test, P< 0.001).
Conclusion: There was no difference between SBTs for advanced neoplasia detection, though mt-sDNA detected significantly more advanced serrated lesions.

Background: In recent years, the emphasis has shifted to understanding the role of N1-methyladenosine (m1A) in tumor progression as little is known about its regulatory effect on mRNA and its role in the metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC).
Methods: We performed methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing of tumor tissues and tumor-adjacent normal tissues from three patients with CRC to determine the m1A profile of mRNA in CRC. The expression of diaphanous-related formin 3 (DIAPH3) and its correlation with clinicopathological characteristics of CRC were evaluated using immunohistochemistry and online datasets.

Purpose: Nivolumab plus ipilimumab (Nivo-Ipi) combination therapy is an effective first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, its effectiveness and feasibility in elderly patients (aged ≥ 75 years) remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of first-line Nivo-Ipi therapy in elderly patients with NSCLC.

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapies have emerged as a promising avenue for the treatment of various cancers. Despite their success, the efficacy of these treatments is variable across patients and cancer types. Numerous single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) studies have been conducted to unravel cell-specific responses to ICB treatment.

The spatial role of M1 and M2 tumor-associated macrophages (M1/M2 TAMs) in precision medicine remains unclear. EGFR and TP53 are among the most frequently mutated genes in lung adenocarcinoma. We characterized the mutation status and density of M1/M2 TAMs within tumor islets and stroma in 117 lung adenocarcinomas using next-generation sequencing and immunohistochemistry, respectively.

Background: Vitamin K-dependent γ-glutamic acid carboxylation (Gla) proteins are calcium-binding and membrane-associated, participating in coagulation, bone turnover, and cancer biology. The molecular function of transmembrane proline-rich Gla proteins (PRRGs) remains unexplored.
Methods: Analysis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) datasets, including transcription profiles, clinical data, and tissue microarrays, was conducted to evaluate PRRG1 expression and its clinical relevance.
