Objective: To determine the demographic and clinical characteristics of individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 650 patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer in West Kazakhstan from 2019 to 2023. Statistical analysis was performed to explore the relationships between various factors and outcomes, using significance tests and regression techniques.
Results: The study included 650 colorectal cancer patients, with 59.7% males and 40.3% females. Age distribution showed 63.1% between 24-65 years and 36.9% over 65, with no gender-based age differences. Nationality significantly influenced patient composition (63.8% Kazakh, 36.2% Russian, P=0.03). KRAS mutations (76.0% negative) and tumor morphology (40% adenocarcinoma, P=0.02) displayed varied associations. Univariate logistic regression revealed links between demographic/clinical factors and cancer outcomes. Multivariate analysis emphasized age, stage of cancer, expansion, involvement of lymphatic and metastasis in cancer progression. Nomogram predictive modeling incorporated gender, tumor form, stage, and infiltration. Evaluation in a validation cohort showed good differentiation (AUC=0.6293) and calibration. The findings provide insights into colorectal cancer demographics, progression, treatment, and mortality, aiding personalized interventions.
Conclusion: this study reveals critical insights into demographics, treatment, and prognosis. Emphasizing the complexity of CRC, the study highlights age, gender, and tumor characteristics' impact on progression and mortality. A developed nomogram model offers clinicians a practical tool for personalized treatment decisions, enhancing prognosis discussions with patients.

Objectives: PD15, a novel natural steroidal saponin extracted from the rhizomes of Paris delavayi Franchet, has demonstrated a strong cytotoxic effect against HepG2 and U87MG cells. However, its therapeutic effects on colorectal cancer (CRC) and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear.
Methods: MTT assay, clonogenic assay, Hoechst 33258 staining, flow cytometry, molecular docking, and western blot were used to investigate the mechanism of PD15 in HCT116 cell lines.

To evaluate the use of yttrium-90 (Y90) dosimetry in predicting treatment outcomes when used following transarterial radioembolization with SIR-Spheres® (Resin Y90) in patients with hepatic tumors. This single institution retrospective analysis included 100 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma or other liver metastases who underwent transarterial radioembolization with resin Y90 and had imaging follow-up within one year of treatment. Mean tumor dose and mean dose to nontumor was calculated using voxel-based dosimetry software.

Purpose: Identifying therapeutic targets for Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma (SRCC) of the colon and rectum is a clinical challenge due to the lack of Patient-Derived Organoids (PDO) or Xenografts (PDX). We present a robust method to establish PDO and PDX models to answer address this unmet need. We demonstrate that these models identify novel therapeutic strategies targeting therapy resistance and peritoneal metastasis.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally. While immunotherapeutic approaches are effective in a subset of CRC patients, the majority of CRC cases receive limited benefits from immunotherapy. This study developed an immune subtype classification system based on diverse immune cells and pathways.
