Background: Frail patients have poor outcomes after emergent colon surgery. While minimally invasive surgery has shown improved outcomes in the general patient population undergoing colectomy, the benefits in frail patients are unknown.
Methods: We identified frail patients who underwent urgent or emergent colon resections from 2017 to 2021 in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database.

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and Caspase 8 (CASP8) have been implicated in cancer development and progression. Variants such as CASP8 rs3834129 (-652 6N I/D) and CTGF rs6918698 (-945 C>G) have been associated with several cancers, although their association is still debated between populations. This study investigates the possible association between the CASP8 rs3834129 and CTGF rs6918698 variants with colorectal cancer (CRC) in Mexican patients.

Background: Abdominoperineal resection (APR) is the standard treatment for locally advanced distal rectal cancer (LADRC) following neoadjuvant treatment when sphincter-preserving procedures are inapplicable. However, complications such as perineal site infection, perineal hernia and postoperative ileus remain ongoing challenges. We aimed to compare the rate of postoperative ileus due to pelvic incarceration in APR patients with/without pelvic inlet closure.

Department of Epidemiology, Deventer Hospital, Schalkhaar, The Netherlands.
Background And Study Aim: Local resection of early rectal cancer is being increasingly used. With invasion of the muscularis propria layer of the rectal wall, the risk of lymph node metastasis becomes too high to consider this the optimal oncological treatment. Therefore, a diagnosis of muscular invasion is important before attempting local resection; however, endoscopic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images have limitations, such as overstaging (26-31%).

Background: Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) is a promising and innovative approach for lower rectal cancer but requires high technical skill and learning process that can affect patient outcomes. We aimed to determine the learning curve of TaTME and then to assess its impact on 5-year oncologic outcomes.
Methods: Over a 54-month period, 94 patients underwent TaTME by experienced laparoscopic colorectal surgeons at our department.

Background: Early rectal neoplasms can be treated endoscopically with good prognosis, yet usually present with unspecific or an absence of signs and symptoms and are detected largely by invasive endoscopy with less compliance to screening. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to explore the diagnostic value of dual-layer spectral detector computed tomography (DSCT) imaging for early rectal neoplasm.
Methods: Patients who underwent DSCT for evaluation of rectal lesion or routine examination between September 2022 to September 2023 at West China Hospital were prospectively included and identified as group A (control, n=76), group B (rectal advanced adenomas and ≤T1 rectal cancer, n=59), and group C (≥T2 staging rectal cancer, n=74).

Background: Rapid and accurate identification of mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency and Lynch syndrome is critical in the prognostication and clinical management of patients with colorectal carcinoma.
Case Description: We describe here a young woman who developed a locally aggressive rectal adenocarcinoma with intact MMR protein expression by immunohistochemistry and absence of histologic evidence of MMR deficiency-associated increased tumoral immune response. Germline DNA-targeted sequencing identified MSH2 variant p.

Background: Rectal cancer is a common cancer worldwide and lacks effective prognostic markers. The development of prognostic markers by computational pathology methods has attracted increasing attention. This paper aims to construct a prognostic signature from whole slide images for predicting progression-free survival (PFS) of rectal cancer through an unsupervised artificial intelligence algorithm.

Purpose: Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for rectal cancer is limited by its harmful side effects and its insufficient benefit on lateral lymph node metastases. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of S-1 and oxaliplatin with total mesorectal excision (TME) and lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) without radiation for rectal cancer.
Methods: The inclusion criteria were patients with stage II or III rectal cancer located within 10 cm from the anal verge.

Background: Rectal cancer patients are potential beneficiaries of adaptive radiotherapy (ART) which demands considerable resources. Currently, there is no definite guidance on what kind of patients and when will benefit from ART. This study aimed to develop and validate a methodology for estimating ART requirements in rectal cancer before treatment course.

Anogenital mammary-like glands (AGMLGs) are present in the anogenital region that bear striking morphologic and protein-expression similarities to mammary glands in the breast. AGMLGs can give rise to both benign and malignant lesions which mimic primary breast lesions. Herein, we report two mammary-type adenocarcinomas arising from AGMLGs, including one in the previously unreported site of the rectum.

Background: Local recurrence of rectal cancer (LRRC) previously treated with radiotherapy is associated with a poor prognosis. Historically, the integration of radiotherapy (RT) with surgery has improved the likelihood of complete resections (R0) and, consequently, enhanced survival. Unfortunately, many LRRC cases are not amenable to surgical intervention.

Background: Tumor mutation burden (TMB) has been considered a biomarker for utilization of immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs), but whole exome sequencing(WES) and cancer gene panel(CGP) based on next generation sequencing for TMB detection are costly. Here, we use transcriptome data of TCGA to construct a model for TMB prediction in gastrointestinal tumors.
Methods: Transcriptome data, somatic mutation data and clinical data of four gastrointestinal tumors from TCGA, including esophageal cancer (ESCA), stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) and rectal adenocarcinoma (READ).

Objective: Prostate cancer is a significant health concern worldwide and ranks as the 4th most frequent cancer among men in Azerbaijan. While robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is the preferred surgical technique in many countries, open retropubic radical prostatectomy (ORP) remains the primary treatment option in Azerbaijan due to limited access to robotic surgical systems. This study aims to analyze the outcomes of ORP in patients with local and locally advanced prostate cancer.

Introduction: Perineal hernias, protrusions through the pelvic diaphragm, are a rare complication post-abdominoperineal resection. The shift to extralevator APR techniques could be linked to a potential increase in these hernias. This case series evaluates the surgical management of perineal hernias, focusing on the evolving role of robotic surgery.

Introduction: Retrospective studies suggest that inhalational volatile anaesthetic agents may contribute to an increased risk of metastasis and reduction in survival rates when used during cancer surgery. This relationship may vary between cancer types due to different tumour biology and differences in surgical procedures. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the type of anaesthetic used for maintenance of anaesthesia (propofol or inhalational volatile anaesthetic agent) and survival in patients with stage 1-3 colorectal cancer who underwent resection surgery under general anaesthesia in Sweden between 2014 and 2019.

A man in his 60s, who had undergone surgery for rectal cancer, liver metastases, and lung metastasis, had a past history of myocardial infarction and ventricular fibrillation with reduced cardiac functions. He was referred to our department because of a pulmonary nodule shadow in the S2 right upper lobe and a bronchial cast shadow along the B2 bronchus. Robot-assisted thoracoscopic right S2 segmentectomy was performed and intraoperative bronchoscopy revealed a polyp-like tumor within B2a.
