Antitumor activity of silver (Ag) complexes in colorectal cancer cells by oxidative stress and apoptosis induction
Colorectal 1 min.
Metal-based drugs, such as the platinum-derived compounds cisplatin and oxaliplatin, are routinely used in cancer therapy. Currently, among these, only oxaliplatin has demonstrated significant efficacy in colorectal cancer (CRC). This urges the necessity of developing more effective anticancer agents....

Residential segregation and late-stage colorectal cancer in the United States: a population-based study of 1.2 million adults
Colorectal 1 min.
We examined the association between residential segregation and late-stage colorectal cancer (CRC) in the United States. The restricted-use United States Cancer Statistics database was used to identify all CRC cases diagnosed during 2009 to 2017. Late-stage CRC was determined according to the presence...
Prediagnostic dietary phytosterol intake, inflammatory biomarkers, and colorectal cancer survival: a cohort study
Colorectal 1 min.
This study aimed to investigate the association of prediagnostic phytosterol intake (total phytosterols, β-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, β-sitostanol, and campestanol) with colorectal cancer (CRC)-specific and overall survival and to explore the potential mediating role of systemic...
Increase of early-onset colorectal cancer: a cohort effect
Colorectal 1 min.
Increasing incidence rates of early-onset colorectal cancer (ie, <50 years of age) have been reported across multiple countries. We investigated long-term cancer incidence data from 1995 or earlier from Australia, Canada, England, and the United States separately by sex. Estimated annual percentage...
