Previous study showed the PARP inhibitor ABT-888 potentiates the cytotoxicity of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) by inhibiting PARP1-mediated mismatch repair (MMR) pathway via MSH6 deregulation in MMR-proficient colorectal cancer stem cells (CRC-CSCs). Emerging evidence indicates 5-FU regulates O -methylguanine-DNA-methyltrans...

Neutrophils are at the forefront of innate immune response. The prognostic impact of tumour-associated neutrophils (TANs) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic role of TANs in colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted using PubMed, Embase,...

The Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory-Short Form (FCRI-SF) is commonly used to categorize the severity of fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) defined as fear, worry, or concern about cancer returning or progressing. Evaluating the FCRI-SF factor structure and the clinical cut-off score in specific cancer...

Research on the gut microbiota has primarily focused on bacterial communities. However, the role of fungi-the second-largest eukaryotic component of the gut microbiome-in the development and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) has been less extensively studied compared to bacteria. Recent studies...
