Objectives: Colorectal cancer is the most prevalent malignant disease in Japan. This study aimed to publish data on colorectal cancer cases registered in 2023, involving initial treatments in 2015.
Methods: Participating facilities of the Japanese Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum (JSCCR) registered cases treated in 2015 according to the 8th edition of the Japanese Classification of Colorectal Carcinoma. Data sent to the National Registration Committee in 2023 were analyzed.
Results: The study analyzed 12,804 cases. Endoscopic treatments were performed in 983 cases, endoscopic treatment followed by surgical resection in 734 cases, and surgeries were carried out in 10,884 cases. Notably, the proportion of laparoscopic surgeries increased significantly from 34.7% in 2010 to 63.5% in 2015.
Conclusions: This report details the characteristics, treatment methods, and outcomes of colorectal cancer patients who received initial treatment in 2015 at JSCCR-participating facilities. These data should be helpful for patients to understand their disease accurately and for healthcare professionals to explain colorectal cancer and its treatments to patients.

Objective: Splenectomy is regularly performed in total and distal pancreatectomy due to technical reasons, lymph node dissection and radicality of the operation. However, the spleen serves as an important organ for competent immune function, and its removal is associated with an increased incidence of cancer and a worse outcome in some cancer entities (Haematologica 99:392-398, 2014; Dis Colon Rectum 51:213-217, 2008; Dis Esophagus 21:334-339, 2008). The impact of splenectomy in pancreatic cancer is not fully resolved (J Am Coll Surg 188:516-521, 1999; J Surg Oncol 119:784-793, 2019).

Considering the high degree of malignancy, recurrence rate and poor prognosis, exploring promising targets is an imperious strategy for colorectal carcinoma therapy. Recent studies have indicated that GABPα plays a role in cancer aggressiveness, but its exact function and regulatory mechanisms in colorectal cancer progression remain unclear. This study aims to explore the biological role of GABPα and its upstream regulator, miR-378a-5p, in modulating cancer progression.

Background And Objective: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Despite advances in treatment, metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) remains a significant challenge due to its heterogeneity and resistance to therapy. Regorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor, can inhibit tumor progression through multiple mechanisms, thereby improving patient prognosis.

Purpose: Endoscopic resection is appropriate for selected colorectal polyp cancers, but significant variation exists in treatment. This study aims to investigate variation in management of screen-detected polyp cancers (T1), factors predicting primary endoscopic polypectomy and threshold for subsequent surgical resection.
Method: Patients with polyp cancers (T1) diagnosed by the bowel cancer screening programme (BCSP) were investigated at two screening centres (5 individual sites and 4 MDTs, 2012-2022).

Introduction: Rectal cancer is a prevalent disease that requires multidisciplinary management. Results of treatment of patients suffering from this malignancy in Latin America have been scarcely reported before.
Methods: A retrospective, multicenter study was conducted to report preoperative and operative characteristics of patients intervened for rectal cancer in centers from Latin America during 2015-2022, and the short-term results of treatment were analyzed.
