Short- and long-term outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic surgery in rectal cancer: a propensity score-matched analysis. (PubMed, Surg Endosc)
The 5-year relapse-free survival rate was 88.5% in the LS group and 90.5% in the RS group (P = 0.525); the respective 5-year overall survival rates were 97.3 and 93.8% (P = 0.283). The 5-year cumulative local and distant recurrence rates were 3.3% vs. 3.3% (P = 0.665) and 9.7% vs. 7.7% (P = 0.464) in the LS and RS groups, respectively Robotic surgery can be a feasible treatment modality for rectal cancer, with lower frequencies of postoperative ileus and Clavien-Dindo grade II or higher complications than laparoscopic surgery and no difference in long-term outcomes.

Mangiferin: An effective agent against human malignancies. (PubMed, Food Sci Nutr)
Mangiferin has confirmed potential benefits in lung, cervical, breast, brain, and prostate cancers as well as leukemia whether administered alone or in combination with recognized anticancer compounds. More clinical trials and research investigations are required to completely unleash the potential of mangiferin, which may lower the risk of cancer onset and act as a preventive and therapeutic alternative for a number of cancers.

Deregulation of TWIST1 expression by promoter methylation in gastrointestinal cancers. (PubMed, Saudi J Biol Sci)
The results also showed that different TWIST1 methylation loci may deregulate TWIST1 expression in different cancer types. The inference that can be drawn from this study is that TWIST1 DNA methylation is an important TWIST1 deregulation mechanism in colon, rectal and gastric cancers.

Severe Thrombocytopenia from Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab Combination Therapy in a Patient with HER2-Positive Metastatic Rectal Cancer. (PubMed, Case Rep Oncol)
Consequently, we determined that the patient presented with a condition similar to immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and selected a treatment approach consisting of eltrombopag, a thrombopoietin receptor agonist. Although uncommon, anti-HER2 antibodies can cause severe thrombocytopenia. Furthermore, if thrombocytopenia persists after treatment discontinuation and the administration of corticosteroids, exploring treatment options aligned with managing ITP is essential.

Two Decades of Progress in Personalized Medicine of Colorectal Cancer in Serbia-Insights from the Institute for Oncology and Radiology of Serbia. (PubMed, Biomedicines)
Although significant improvements in CRC management have occurred globally in recent years, a strategic approach leading to population-based systemic solutions is required. The high incidence of young-onset CRC and the growing elderly population due to a rise in life expectancy will be especially important factors for countries with limited healthcare resources like Serbia.

Modified FOLFOX6 with Cetuximab versus with Radiotherapy in Neoadjuvant Treatment of Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer: A Single-Center, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial. (PubMed, Biol Pharm Bull)
In this single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial, we randomly assigned (1 : 1) patients with locally advanced rectal cancer with wild-type RAS/BRAF gene to two groups: 5 cycles of modified leucovorin calcium (folinic acid), fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin combination regimen (modified FOLFOX6, mFOLFOX6) concurrent with 25 times radiotherapy or 5 cycles of mFOLFOX6 plus cetuximab, all with subsequent total mesorectal excision (TME) resection and adjuvant chemotherapy. Additionally, lower rates of preventive enterostomy and low anterior resection syndrome were shown in the mFOLFOX6-Cet group compared to the mFOLFOX6-RT group. The neoadjuvant treatment strategy of mFOLFOX6 with cetuximab is feasible and promising for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer, even superior to mFOLFOX6 with radiotherapy.

Histological and photoacoustic evaluation of rectal cancer after neoadjuvant therapy using microvascular density. (PubMed, Colorectal Dis)
Microvascular density appears highest in cases of complete tumour response to neoadjuvant therapy, similar to normal rectal tissue. The histological microvascular patterns seen in treated tissue may explain the imaging patterns seen in photoacoustic microscopy.

Prediction of Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) mutation in rectal cancer with amide proton transfer-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. (PubMed, Quant Imaging Med Surg)
The APTw value had moderate diagnostic performance in the prediction of KRAS mutation with a high sensitivity but a low specificity. APTw MRI might be a promising supplement to KRAS genomic analysis in rectal cancer patients.
