Colorectal cancer can sometimes come back. This is called metachronous colorectal cancer. It happens after the first treatment. Doctors want to find ways to predict this. They made a model to do just that. The model uses data from past patients. It looks at many things. Like age, health history, an
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a tough opponent, but scientists are finding new ways to fight it. They've discovered that some CRCs have mutations in ARID1A and TP53 genes. These mutations make the cancer cells more vulnerable to a type of treatment that targets WEE1. Here's how it works: ARID1A helps
Young women might face a higher chance of developing early-stage colon issues if they eat a lot of processed foods. This is what a recent study suggests. The research tracked over 29, 000 nurses under 50 for many years. They looked at what the nurses ate and whether they developed precancerous growt
Colorectal cancer in young adults is on the rise, and experts are pointing fingers at ultra-processed foods. These foods, which make up a big part of many people's diets, have been linked to various health issues. Now, a recent study has found a connection between these foods and precancerous growth
In Europe, the number of people living with cancer is growing by 3. 5% each year since 2010. Out of all these survivors, 38% will live a decade or more after their diagnosis. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cancer among survivors, and many of them will be over 75 years old, needing
Colon cancer is a serious disease that takes many lives. Scientists have found that a protein called B7-H4 is more active in colon cancer cells than in healthy cells. This protein helps cancer cells grow. So far, no medicines have been made to target B7-H4 in colon cancer treatment. Researchers set
Colon cancer is a big deal. It's a complex disease. Many things can cause it. Food, surroundings, and genes all play a role. They can lead to long-term inflammation. This inflammation can start with bowel disease. It can end with cancer. But how do these factors work together? And what's next in res
Colorectal cancer is a major health issue, and it's not just bad luck. What we do every day, like eating, exercising, and other habits, can make a big difference. The big question is: how much of a difference can these changes really make? Experts are still working to figure out exactly how much of
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a disease that often strikes older adults. Scientists have been studying how our bodies age at a cellular level, using something called DNA methylation (DNAm) to measure this. This process can show how old our cells really are, not just how old we are in years. Interestin
Colorectal cancer is a serious health issue. Many people ask if capecitabine is a good choice for treatment. A recent study looked at the cost and benefits of this drug compared to active monitoring. The study focused on patients with stable or responding metastatic colorectal cancer after 16 weeks
