Long-term prognostic outcomes in high-risk T1 colorectal cancer: A multicentre retrospective comparison of surgery versus observation postendoscopic treatment.
Colorectal Dis

Department of Surgery, Yokohama City University, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan.
Aim: The risk of lymph node metastasis after endoscopic resection of high-risk T1 colorectal cancer prompts additional resection. However, age and comorbidities are considered in decision-making and some surgeons opt for observation. We compared the long-term outcomes of these approaches with the aim of clarifying the need for additional resection.

Liver & Peritonectomy Unit, Department of Surgery, St George Hospital, Pitney Building, Short Street, Kogarah, NSW, 2217, Australia.
Purpose: This study seeks to resolve a fundamental question in oncology: Why do appendiceal and colorectal adenocarcinomas exhibit distinct liver metastasis rates? Building on our prior hypothesis published in the British Journal of Surgery, our institution has investigated potential DNA mutations within the carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule (CEACAM5) gene's Pro-Glu-Leu-Pro-Lys (PELPK) motif to evaluate its role as a biomarker for liver metastasis risk.
Methods: Partnering with the Australian Genome Research Facility, the PELPK motif of CEACAM5 was analysed in colorectal and appendiceal adenocarcinomas to detect DNA mutations associated with liver metastasis. Additionally, our institution performed the COPPER trial to assess carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels in portal versus peripheral blood in patients with appendiceal adenocarcinoma and a systematic review and meta-analysis of 136 studies on CEA's prognostic significance among patients with colorectal and appendiceal adenocarcinoma.
Low- and High-Volume Disease in Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer: From CHAARTED to PSMA PET-An International Multicenter Retrospective Study.

January 2025
Ahmanson Translational Theranostics Division, Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology, David Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA, Los Angeles, California.
High-volume disease (HVD) and low-volume disease (LVD) definitions in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) patients are based on conventional imaging (CI) (CT/MRI with bone scan [BS]) according to CHAARTED criteria. HVD and LVD definitions are associated with overall survival and are used for treatment decisions. It remains unknown how these definitions transfer to prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET imaging.

Insights Imaging
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Purpose: This study compares the diagnostic efficacy of non-contrast abbreviated MRI protocols with Gadoxetic acid-enhanced abbreviated MRI for detecting colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM), focusing on lesion characterization and surveillance.
Methods: Ninety-four patients, including 55 with pathologically verified CRLM, were enrolled, totaling 422 lesions (287 metastatic, 135 benign). Two independent readers assessed three MRI protocols per patient: Protocol 1 included non-contrast sequences (T2-weighted turbo spin-echo, T1-weighted Dixon, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and ADC mapping).
The METACER national cohort study of brain metastases in gastrointestinal cancers prospectively establishes prognostic factors.
J Neurooncol
January 2025
Department of Hepatology and Gastro-enterology, CHU de Poitiers, Poitiers, France.
Purpose: Availability data are scarce and primarily retrospective in patients with brain metastasis (BM) from gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. The objective of this cohort was to determine prognostic factors for survival outcomes in patients with BM from GI cancers.
Methods: METACER is a national multicentric prospective cohort study which included patients with BM diagnosis during a histologically proven digestive cancer follow-up between 2010 and 2014.
