BACKGROUND Minimally invasive procedures are common in colorectal cancer (CRC) surgeries, but the impact of frailty on postoperative outcomes is unclear. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess how frailty status affects postoperative outcomes after minimally invasive CRC surgery. METHODS This study examined the impact of frailty on postoperative ou...
Article
Background: The impact of sidedness on survival of later-line treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is undetermined. This study aimed to investigate the association between sidedness and survival among chemotherapy refractory patients with mCRC treated with trifluridine/tipiracil (TAS-102) or regorafenib or both. Patients...
Article
75 Background: Previous study demonstrated KRAS (Kirsten rat sarcoma virus) codon G12 mutation as a potential biomarker of resistance in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Our study aimed to evaluate the prognostic impact of codon-specific KRAS mutational status on survival in patients with mCRC treated with TAS-102 or regorafenib. Methods: mCRC...
Article
Background and aims: The World Health Organization recently announced an action plan to increase global physical activity (PA) levels due to individuals' increasingly inactive lifestyle. Perceived weight stigma (PWS) is a psychosocial factor that may reduce individuals' PA, and PA avoidance may be involved in this association. Therefore, the presen...

Background The benefits of physical activity are well-known to prevent multiple long-term health conditions. Physical appearance and weight-related stigma may influence individuals’ decision to engage in physical activity and sport. Therefore, the present study examined the psychometric properties of a newly developed instrument, the Tendency to Av...

Purpose Exercising can promote good health. However, excessive exercising may have downsides. This study examined the association between exercise addiction and eating disorders and whether the identified association was mediated by psychological distress, insomnia (including sleep quality), and body image concern. Methods A total of 2088 adolesce...

Background Substance use is an important issue worldwide and people with substance use disorders (SUDs) have been reported to have high levels of psychological distress and self-stigma. Therefore, psychological distress and self-stigma in people with SUDs are considerable. Objective The present study used a longitudinal design to examine whether t...

Insufficient lymph node harvest (< 12) may lead to incorrect classification of stage I and II disease. Many studies have indicated a poor prognosis with inadequate lymph node harvest in stages I to III, but few studies have demonstrated the relationship between low lymph node harvest and T4 disease. This study aimed to identify the influence of ins...

Objectives: Recently, molecular medicine targeting Folate Receptor Alpha (FOLR1), which mediates intracellular folate uptake and tumor cell proliferation, has been identified in several malignancies. However, the association between FOLR1 expression and rectal cancer remains unclear. Methods: Immunostaining of FOLR1 was performed on biopsy specimen...
Article
For rectal cancer patients with stage T3-4 disease or positive lymph node, neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) has become the standard treatment, but the clinical outcomes are still far from satisfactory. Accordingly, a more precise predictive tool such as genetic biomarkers is urgently required to optimize therapy decisions. Colorectal...

Some studies showed that when distant metastasis or locally advanced tumors were observed, the participation of 2 or more operating surgeons (combined surgery) in the operation could improve the prognosis of patients. The multispecialty operative team would perform combined surgery in colon cancer patients with some complications since 2015. The go...

Background There are no randomized control trials comparing the efficacy of trifluridine/tipiracil and regorafenib in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Herein, we conducted an observational study to compare the oncologic outcomes of trifluridine/tipiracil-containing regimen (TAS-102) and regorafenib-containing regimen (REG) in pati...

Rectal cancer is a heterogeneous malignancy with different clinical responses to preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). To discover the significant genes associated with CCRT response, we performed data mining of a transcriptomic dataset (GSE35452), including 46 rectal cancer patients who received preoperative CCRT and underwent standard...

Data mining of a public transcriptomic rectal cancer dataset (GSE35452) from the Gene Expression Omnibus, National Center for Biotechnology Information identified the melanophilin (MLPH) gene as the most significant intracellular protein transport-related gene (GO:0006886) associated with a poor response to preoperative chemoradiation. An MLPH immu...

Background. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) can induce fibrosis and functional alterations in PD patients' peritoneal membranes, due to long-term unphysiological dialysate exposure, partially occurring via triggering of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in peritoneal mesothelial cells (MCs). Vitamin D can ameliorate these negative effects; howeve...
Article
The purpose of this study was to explore the prevalence of fecal incontinence (FI) and its impact on health-related quality of life in rectal cancer patients following low anterior resection surgery for colorectal cancer. Descriptive, cross-sectional study. Patients who were diagnosed with rectal cancer and underwent low anterior resection were rec...
Article
Full-text available
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy is known to induce morphological and functional changes in the peritoneal membrane. Long-term exposure to conventional bio-incompatible dialysate and peritonitis is the main etiology of inflammation. Consequently, the peritoneal membrane undergoes structural changes, including angiogenesis, fibrosis, and hyalinizing...
Article
Radiofrequency ablation is a procedure used to treat hepatocelluar carcinoma. In this paper, we describe an unusual case of solitary rectal metastasis in a 71-year-old male patient one year after he had undergone radiofrequency ablation for hepatocelluar carcinoma. His presenting symptoms were tenesmus and the passage of small-caliber stools. The d...

Aim: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In this study, we explored the anti-cancer activity of WYC02-9, a synthetic protoapigenone, on human HCT116 CRC cells. Main methods: The anti-cancer activity of WYC02-9 and its underlying mechanisms were analyzed using XTT cell proliferation assays, colony format...
Article
The purpose of this study was to explore the prevalence and risk factors of urine retention among posthaemorrhoidectomy recipients. BACKGROUND. Haemorrhoids are one of the most common functional disorders of the anus. The Haemorrhoidectomy surgical procedure is one of the primary treatments for more severe haemorrhoidal occurrences, such as for thi...

Localized malignant pleural mesothelioma (LMPM) is a rare occurrence, and gastrointestinal intra-luminal metastases have not previously been reported. Herein, we report a patient with LMPM who presented with a local recurrence 10 mo after initial en bloc surgical resection. Abdominal computed tomography was performed for intractable, vague abdomina...

One of the merits of endoscopic surgery is that it can be performed through small remote incisions made in inconspicuous areas. To improve cosmetic outcomes of surgical treatment of benign breast lesions, we performed endoscopic surgery through minimally sized axillary incisions with the goal of achieving scar-free breasts. From August 2007 to Augu...

Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is a rare benign tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. It is predominantly found in the stomach or small intestine and rarely in the colon. We report a 56-year-old woman with IFP localized in descending colon. The clinical presentation showed colonic intussusception. Surgical resection of the tumor lesion was perform...
