The Changing Landscape of Gastrointestinal Cancer Treatment
There have been significant accomplishments in screening and treatment for GI cancers over the last 50 years, but there is still work to be done.
Multiple-Gene Sequencing IDs Mutations in Non-BRCA Carriers
A considerable number of women testing negative for BRCA1/2 may have pathogenic mutations in other genes.
Obesity May Trigger Colon Cancer
Changes to the colon that may lead to colorectal cancer appear to be caused by obesity, rather than diet, in mice.
Aspirin Improves Survival in Colon Cancer With HLA I Antigen
Survival benefit seen for tumors that express HLA class I antigen, but not when HLA antigen is lost.
Grape Seed May Boost Efficacy of Colon Cancer Chemo
Grape seed can aid the effectiveness of chemotherapy in killing colon cancer cells as well as reducing chemotherapy side effects, according to new research.

Radiologists Consistent at Detecting Tumors on CT Colonography
Performance on adenoma and advanced neoplasia detection is consistent among radiologists at computed tomographic colonography screening.
Aspirin Doesn’t Protect Against Colon CA with BRAF Mutations
Regular aspirin use is associated with a lower risk of developing colorectal cancer, but only cancers without mutations in the BRAF oncogene.
