Colon cancer statistics [video]Rosling, Hans
Individuals undergo this exam of high quality under a comfortable, sedated condition, during which the entire colon and rectum are visualized by a qualified gastroenterologist. Pre-cancerous polyps can be found and removed safely. Can you see that this is a very valuable package of diagnosis and...
Consistently, tumor-infiltrating Treg cells of patients with colorectal cancer showed lower TCF-1 expression and increased TH17 expression signatures compared to adjacent normal tissue and circulating T cells. Thus, Treg cell–specific TCF-1 expression differentially regulates TH17-mediated inflammation and...
Lymph node (LN) yield in colon cancer resections is considered crucial for adequate staging and guiding adjuvant treatment [1]. The number of the LNs sampled has also been demonstrated as an independent prognostic marker for improved survival in both node-positive and node-negative disease [2]....
Colon cancer arises from the accumulation of multiple genetic and epigenetic alterations to normal colonic tissue. microRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding regulatory RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. Differential miRNA expression in cancer versus normal tissue is a common event ...
The survival rate for colon cancer, as with any type of cancer, depends on the stage of the tumors and how far the disease has progressed when treatment begins.
That represents 22,500 relatively undertreated AAs with colon cancer during the 15 years that preceded passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, so-called Obamacare. This striking inequity is probably only the tip of the iceberg of AA disadvantages as colon cancer accounts for ...

The presence of activated and proliferating T cells within primary colon tumors is associated with improved survival2,3and we have previously demonstrated an association between increased T-cell infiltrates and improved outcomes in patients with colon cancer metastases.4,5Thus, immunotherapy may have a...
