Clinicopathological and prognostic significance of mucin signatures in lower gastrointestinal cancer-a systematic review and meta-analysis. (PubMed, Br J Cancer)
In conclusion, aberrant mucin signatures reflect distinct molecular pathways in (pre)malignant GIT lesions and highlight their potential utility as biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Schematic representation of the main findings regarding altered mucin signalling in several precancerous lesions (adenomatous (i.e., conventional pathway 1) and serrated polyps (i.e. pathway 2)) and small intestinal (SIA) and colorectal (CRC) adenocarcinomas and its clinicopathological significance (outcome, anatomical location (proximal/distal), molecular subtypes (MSI, (non)-mucinous).

Synchronous Ileal Metastasis from Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: Case Report and Narrative Review with Practical Diagnostic and Management Points. (PubMed, Life (Basel))
It underscores the importance of careful clinicopathological correlation and multidisciplinary evaluation in atypical metastatic scenarios, while illustrating how surgery can provide symptom control and enable systemic therapy. Given its rarity, these observations should be interpreted with caution and regarded as descriptive rather than generalizable.

Effects of dietary sodium diformate supplementation on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and intestinal function of broiler chickens. (PubMed, Poult Sci)
Additionally, NaDF supplementation quadratically decreased the concentration of jejunal tumor necrosis factor alpha. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that NaDF enhances broiler growth performance probably by lowering gut pH, promoting nutrient digestion, modulating microbiota, and reducing intestinal inflammation, supporting its potential as a promising alternative to antibiotic growth promoters in poultry production.

High incidence and poor prognosis of bone metastases in functioning small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors. (PubMed, Front Endocrinol (Lausanne))
Antiresorptive therapy may reduce SREs. Whether adapting NET treatment algorithm for BM improves OS needs to be tested in clinical trials.

Absence of Internal Low Echoes Can Be an Important Diagnostic Clue for Intraductal Tubulopapillary Carcinomas of the Pancreas: A Case Report. (PubMed, Cureus)
The patient received ulinastatin and antibiotic therapy for pancreatic head tumor-induced acute pancreatitis...Diagnostic physicians should note that ITPNs have distinct margins, enhanced posterior echoes, and no internal low echoes due to their pathological structures. In addition, it is also important for diagnostic physicians to note that ITPN patients less often develop icterus due to both the mass softness and the lack of mucin production.

Simultaneous Gastric Cancer Metastases to the Small and Large Intestines: Hidden Small Intestinal Lesions and Colonic-Mimicking Metastases. (PubMed, Surg Case Rep)
This case suggests that preoperative and intraoperative imaging may not detect rare metastatic patterns, and that immunohistochemical analysis may help estimate tumor origin. Careful differentiation between true synchronous colorectal cancer and gastric cancer with intestinal metastases may help guide treatment decisions.

Development of Primary Colon and Duodenal Tumor Cultures from the Apc-mutant Pirc Rat for Screening Preventive Agents. (PubMed, J Cancer Prev)
These primary cultures, maintained between passages 5 and 10 to preserve phenotypic integrity, offer a valuable ex vivo model for early-stage CRC research and the screening of preventive agents. By bridging genetic susceptibility and translational prevention, this platform provides a novel and reproducible tool for advancing cancer interception.
