Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent malignant neoplasm characterized by subtle early manifestations.
Aim: To investigate the correlation among serum lipid profiles, the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, and the atherosclerotic index (AI) in patients with CRC. Furthermore, it explored the clinical diagnostic utility of combining serum lipids with cancer antigens in the context of CRC.

Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is the most common malignant tumor of biliary tract, with poor prognosis due to its aggressive nature and limited therapeutic options. Early detection of GBC is a major challenge, with most GBCs being detected accidentally during cholecystectomy procedures for gallbladder stones. This letter comments on the recent article by Deqing in the , which summarized the various current methods used in early diagnosis of GBC, including endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) examination of the gallbladder for high-risk GBC patients, and the use of EUS-guided elastography, contrast-enhanced EUS, trans-papillary biopsy, natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery, magnifying endoscopy, choledochoscopy, and confocal laser endomicroscopy when necessary for early diagnosis of GBC.

Background: Fluoropyrimidines are metabolized in the liver by the enzyme dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), encoded by the gene. About 7% of the European population is a carrier of gene polymorphisms associated with reduced DPD enzyme activity.
Aim: To assess the prevalence of polymorphisms and their impact on fluoropyrimidine tolerability in Italian patients with gastrointestinal malignancies.

Bone metastasis and skeletal-related complications are primary causes of mortality in advanced-stage prostate cancer (PCa). Epigenetic regulation, particularly histone modification, plays a key role in this process; however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. In mouse models, JARID1D was an important mediator of both visceral and bone metastases.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Epigenetic modifications play a significant role in the progression of CRC. KAT7, a histone acetyltransferase, has an unclear role in CRC.
