Organ Preservation After TNT Is Feasible in Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer
A rectum-preserving strategy may produce outcomes similar to standard resection-based treatment for locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma.
Rectal Cancer
Improved Survival Supports Routine Use of Laparoscopic Surgery for Rectal Cancer
A meta-analysis showed a significant improvement in overall survival, but not disease-free survival, with laparoscopic surgery.
Total Neoadjuvant Therapy Deemed Noninferior to Standard Chemoradiotherapy in Rectal Cancer
There was no significant difference in disease-free survival, metastasis-free survival, or locoregional recurrence.
CEA Surveillance May Miss Recurrence in Certain Patients With Rectal Cancer
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) testing may fail to detect disease recurrence in patients with rectal cancer who have negative CEA at baseline.
Analysis Reveals ‘Preferred’ Sequence of TNT for Organ Preservation in Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer
Chemoradiotherapy followed by consolidation chemotherapy resulted in a higher pathological complete response rate without compromising disease-free survival or increasing toxicity.
Neoadjuvant CapeOx May Be Alternative to CRT in Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer
The rate of perioperative distant metastases was significantly lower with CapeOx than with CRT.
Registry Data Suggest TaTME Is Safe and Effective for Rectal Cancer
The 2-year actuarial rate of local recurrence was 4.8%.
Very High Antibiotic Use May Up Risk for Proximal Colon Cancer
There was a positive association between more frequent antibiotic use and colorectal cancer overall.
Higher Vitamin D Intake Linked to Reduced Risk of Early-Onset CRC
The association was stronger for dietary sources of vitamin D than supplemental vitamin D.
Colorectal Cancer: What Your Patients Need to Know
Although many Americans are at risk of developing colorectal cancer, they may not be aware of their own specific risk factors that they could have for it. What should medical professionals be teaching their patients about on regarding the risks, symptoms, detection, and prevention of colorectal cancer?
