Open questions and misconceptions in the diagnosis and management of anemia in patients with gastrointestinal bleeding
(Elsevier, 2018-01)
Despite high prevalence of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in patients with acute or chronic gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB), IDA and iron deficiency (ID) are frequently untreated. Reasons may be misconceptions about the ...
Integrated Analysis of Germline and Tumor DNA Identifies New Candidate Genes Involved in Familial Colorectal Cancer
(MDPI, 2019-03-13)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) shows aggregation in some families but no alterations in the known hereditary CRC genes. We aimed to identify new candidate genes which are potentially involved in germline predisposition to familial ...
A new approach to epigenome-wide discovery of non-invasive methylation biomarkers for colorectal cancer screening in circulating cell-free DNA using pooled samples
(Biomed Central, 2018-04-16)
Background: Colorectal cancer is the fourth cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, though detection at early stages associates with good prognosis. Thus, there is a clear demand for novel non-invasive tests for the early ...
TREM-2 defends the liver against hepatocellular carcinoma through multifactorial protective mechanisms
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2021-06-07)
[EN] Objective Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent
and aggressive cancer usually arising on a background
of chronic liver injury involving inflammatory and hepatic
regenerative processes. The triggering receptor ...
Comparative Effects of Pterostilbene and Its Parent Compound Resveratrol on Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Steatohepatitis Induced by High-Fat High-Fructose Feeding
(MDPI, 2020-10-24)
Different studies have revealed that oxidative stress and inflammation are crucial in NAFLD (Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). The aim of this study is to analyze whether pterostilbene and resveratrol are able to either ...
Clinical correlates of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody profiles in Spanish COVID-19 patients from a high incidence region
(Nature, 2021-02-23)
Laboratory testing for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) consists of two pillars: the detection of viral RNA via rt-PCR as the diagnostic gold standard in acute cases, and the detection of ...
Modeling Personalized Adjuvant TreaTment in EaRly stage coloN cancer (PATTERN)
(Springer, 2020-09)
Aim To develop a decision model for the population-level evaluation of strategies to improve the selection of stage II colon cancer (CC) patients who benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. Methods A Markov cohort model with ...
Colorectal Cancer Genetic Variants Are Also Associated with Serrated Polyposis Syndrome Susceptibility
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2020-10)
Background Serrated polyposis syndrome (SPS) is a clinical entity characterised by large and/ormultiple serrated polyps throughout the colon and increased risk for colorectal cancer (CRC). The basis for SPS genetic ...
Exome Sequencing of Early-Onset Patients Supports Genetic Heterogeneity in Colorectal Cancer
(Springer, 2021-05-27)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a complex disease that can be caused by a spectrum of genetic variants ranging from low to high penetrance changes, that interact with the environment to determine which individuals will develop ...
Colorectal cancer molecular classification using BRAF, KRAS, microsatellite instability and CIMP status: Prognostic implications and response to chemotherapy
(Public Library of Science, 2018-09-06)
Objective
The aim of this study was to validate a molecular classification of colorectal cancer (CRC) based on microsatellite instability (MSI), CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) status, BRAF, and KRAS and investigate ...
