Machine Learning Algorithm for the Detection of Tumor Microsatellite Instability Based on Multiomics Biomarkers. (PubMed, JCO Clin Cancer Inform)
Our ML approach accurately predicted MSI status in colorectal and uterine cancers using multiomics data derived from NGS, without relying on direct microsatellite sequencing. The ability to identify MSI-high tumors among indeterminate cases demonstrates potential to improve diagnostic precision and ensures timely access to immunotherapy for patients with MSI-high disease.

Sodium Butyrate Activity in Colorectal Cancer under Hypoxia: A Potential Role for Carbonic Anhydrase IX. (PubMed, Asian Pac J Cancer Prev)
At the beginning, hypoxia caused an alteration in the anti-colorectal-cancer activity of NaB, which then returned to normal. Our data revealed the novel finding that NaB downregulates CA IX, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for colorectal cancer that targets tumor metabolism and pH regulation.

Synergistic Effect of Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester and Deuterium Oxide in Colon Cancer: An In Vitro Evaluation. (PubMed, Asian Pac J Cancer Prev)
Overall, CAPE and D₂O may be an effective adjuvant for enhancing therapeutic efficacy in colon cancer. However, further research is needed to determine whether their synergistic effects are also selective in other malignancies, as well as with their toxicokinetic potential.

Gene Expression Alterations of TIMP3, ELASTIN, K-RAS, and BRAF in Colorectal Cancer Patients with H. pylori Infection. (PubMed, Asian Pac J Cancer Prev)
In conclusion, chronic H. pylori infection may contribute to CRC pathogenesis through sustained inflammation and genetic dysregulation. The study highlights TIMP3 suppression as a potential factor in CRC progression, warranting further investigation into its clinical implications.

Blood-Based vs. Tissue-Based mRNA Expression of Thymidylate Synthase, Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase, and Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase: A Prospective Study to Predict the Neoadjuvant CAPEOX Response in Advanced Colorectal Cancer. (PubMed, Asian Pac J Cancer Prev)
Lower DPD and MTHFR expression predicts a favorable response to neoadjuvant CAPEOX in advanced CRC. These biomarkers offer a promising, non-invasive approach to personalizing treatment strategies potentially enhancing therapeutic efficacy while minimizing unnecessary toxicity.

A Lightweight Workflow for Targeted Long-Read Transcriptomic Profiling Using Oxford Nanopore Sequencing. (PubMed, Methods Protoc)
By combining simplicity, reproducibility, and minimal computational overhead, the present pipeline provides an accessible framework for targeted transcriptomic analysis of long-read sequencing data. It may facilitate adoption of ONT-based transcriptomic profiling in settings with restricted computational resources.

Effect of Algal Lectin Siye on Proliferation and Apoptosis of Breast and Colon Cancer Cells. (PubMed, Mar Drugs)
The differential apoptotic response between HCC1937 and HCT116 cells suggests cell-type-specific mechanisms. These findings extend the known anti-tumor activity spectrum of AI-discovered red algal lectin Siye and provide a basis for further investigation of its glycan-associated cellular effects and marine drug discovery potential.

Splenic flexure colon cancer may represent a distinct prognostic subtype associated with elevated systemic inflammation and impaired nutritional status. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
The NII may serve as an exploratory indicator of the chronic inflammation-nutrition imbalance in these patients, and it may offer modest added value for risk stratification and individualized management. Further large-scale, multicenter prospective studies are warranted to validate these findings.
