RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: /Objectives: Persistent organ failure (OF) in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is caused by activation of cytokine cascades, resulting in inflammatory injury. Anti-inflammation may be helpful in OF remission in early SAP. To assess the efficacy of anti-inflammatory regimens for OF prevention and remission in patients with predicted SAP and display clinical doctors' acceptance of these strategies, we conducted this retrospective study in the real world. METHODS: Clinical data of patients with predicted SAP from 2010 to 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Cases were divided into conventional support (C), C+ somatostatin/octreotide (C + S/O), and C + S/O + Cyclooxygenase-2-inhibitors (C + S/O + COX-2-I). The occurrence of SAP, OF, changes of proportion for three strategies, length of hospital stay, meperidine injection, and cytokine levels were compared. The constituent ratios of the three schemes over eight years were evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 580 cases (C = 124, C + S/O = 290, C + S/O + COX-2-I = 166) were included. The occurrences of SAP in the C + S/O (28.3 %) and C + S/O + COX-2-I (18.1 %) groups were significantly lower than that in C group (60.5 %, P < 0.001), mainly by reducing persistent respiratory failure (P < 0.001) and renal failure (P = 0.002). C + S/O and C + S/O + COX-2-I regimens significantly decreased new onset OF and enhanced OF amelioration within 48 h when compared with C treatment (P < 0.001) in patients with OF score <2 and ≥ 2 on admission, respectively. C + S/O and C + S/O + COX-2-I as compared with C group significantly decrease OF occurrences in a multivariate logistic regression analysis (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Somatostatin or its analogs and cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors are promising for OF prevention and remission in patients with predicted SAP. The acceptance of combined strategies in the real world has increased, and the occurrence of SAP has decreased annually.

Background: Patients with gastrointestinal cancer often suffer from malnutrition during tumor progression. Malnutrition is associated with postoperative complications and decreased quality of life. Supporting cancer patients with proper nutrition is vital for improving their prognoses.Method: Google scholar and PubMed database searches were performed. Selection criteria included gastrointestinal cancer, surgery, ω - 3 fatty acids, randomized clinical trials from 2007 to August 2022.Conclusion: Nutritional therapy includes nutritional counseling, enteral nutrition, parenteral nutrition, and oral nutritional supplements. Immune nutrients like glutamine and ω-3 fatty acid have been demonstrated with benefits in reducing inflammatory responses and postoperative complications, regulating immune function and improving prognosis.

ABSTRACT: Preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, combined with total mesorectal excision, has become the standard treatment for advanced localized rectal cancer (RC). However, the biological complexity and heterogeneity of tumors may contribute to cancer recurrence and metastasis in patients with radiotherapy-resistant RC. The identification of factors leading to radioresistance and markers of radiosensitivity is critical to identify responsive patients and improve radiotherapy outcomes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, endogenous, and noncoding RNAs that affect various cellular and molecular targets. miRNAs have been shown to play important roles in multiple biological processes associated with RC. In this review, we summarized the signaling pathways of miRNAs, including apoptosis, autophagy, the cell cycle, DNA damage repair, proliferation, and metastasis during radiotherapy in patients with RC. Also, we evaluated the potential role of miRNAs as radiotherapeutic biomarkers for RC.

BACKGROUND: Early enteral nutrition (EN) after abdominal surgery can improve the prognosis of patients. However, the high feeding intolerance (FI) rate is the primary factor impeding postoperative EN. METHODS: Sixty-seven patients who underwent radical subtotal or total gastrectomy for gastric cancer (GC) were randomly allocated to the preoperative oral nutritional supplement group (ONS group) or dietary advice alone (DA group). Both groups were fed via nasojejunal tubes (NJs) from the first day after surgery to the fifth day. The primary endpoint is the FI rate. RESULTS: Of the patients, 66 completed the trial (31 in the ONS group, 35 in the DA group). The FI rate in the ONS group was lower than that in the DA group (25.8% vs. 31.4%, p = 0.249). The postoperative five-day 50% energy compliance rate in the ONS group was higher than that in the DA group (54.8% vs. 48.6%, p = 0.465). The main gastrointestinal intolerance symptoms were distension (ONS vs. DA: 45.2% vs. 62.9, p = 0.150) and abdominal pain (ONS vs. DA: 29.0% vs. 45.7%, p = 0.226). Postoperative nausea/vomiting rate and heartburn/reflux rate were similar between the two groups. We noted no difference in perioperative serum indices, short-term prognosis or postoperative complication rates between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: The study shows that short-term preoperative ONS cannot significantly improve FI and the energy compliance rate in the early stage after radical gastrectomy.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The selection criteria and long-term outcomes of endoscopic therapy (ET) for gastric neuroendocrine tumors (G-NETs) remain controversial. METHODS: Using Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program database, we assessed the prevalence of metastasis of early G-NETs and long-term outcomes of ET in G-NET patients with good/moderate differentiation and no muscularis propria (MP) involvement. RESULTS: A total of 2207 patients with stage T1 and T2 G-NETs were included. The depth of invasion into MP [odds ratio (OR) 4.581, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.571-8.162; P < 0.001] and size of > 20 mm (OR 5.656, 95% CI 2.002-15.975; P = 0.001) were significantly associated with metastasis. The 5-year overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of the ET group were similar to the surgery group (91.11% vs. 91.09%, P = 0.750; 99.26% vs. 99.01%, P = 0.173). In the multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models adjusting for age, gender, race, year of diagnosis, SEER region, depth of tumor invasion, site of cancer, tumor size, and chemotherapy, procedures employed (ET or surgery) had no significant impact on the OS [hazard ratio (HR) 1.189; 95%CI 0.721-1.961; P = 0.498] and CSS (HR 0.684; 95% CI 0.021-22.727; P = 0.832). CONCLUSIONS: The long-term outcome of survival did not appear to differ between ET and surgery in G-NETs with good/moderate differentiation, ≤ 20 mm size, and no MP involvement.

Histological subtype plays an important role in the different clinical characteristics and survival outcomes of patients with colorectal carcinoma (CRC). However, in previous studies, the influences of tumor locations and tumor stages have not been strictly controlled. This study focused on the assessment of the prognostic value of each histological subtype in different tumor locations and tumor stages of CRC. We used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (1973-2011) to analyze 818,229 CRC patients with different clinical and pathological features, and analyzed the prognostic value of each histological subtype. Under the condition of stratification by tumor stage, signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) presented the worst survival in each stage of right colon cancer (stage I, log-rank, p = 0.002, stages II, III, and IV, log-rank, p < 0.001), rectal cancer (RC) (log-rank, p < 0.001), and in stages II, III, and IV of left colon cancer (log-rank, p < 0.001). Multivariate survival analysis suggested SRCC subtype, male gender, age ≥ 70 years, tumor size ≥ 5 cm, stage progression, and poor differentiation were all significant factors worsening survival in CRC (p < 0.001, respectively). Mucinous adenocarcinoma (MC) histological subtype proved to be an independent protective factor for the prognosis of right colon cancer (p = 0.003). Overall, in our study, the results suggested SRCC had the worst survival among the three histological subtypes of CRC. MC was associated with favorable prognosis in right colon cancer but not with other tumor locations.

Our previous study demonstrated that miR-124 was downregulated in colorectal cancer (CRC) compared with normal mucosa, and the downregulated expression of miR-124 was an independent prognostic factor in CRC patients. However, the function of miR-124 in CRC patients treated with chemotherapy is currently unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the miR-124 expression and its regulative role in oxaliplatin (L-OHP)-based chemotherapy of CRC patients. We observed that low miR-124 expression was correlated with worse overall survival (OS) in the 220 patients who received postoperative chemotherapy of 5-fluorouracil [5-FU]+leucovorin+L-OHP (FOLFOX) or capecitabine+L-OHP (XELOX). miR-124 overexpression promoted L-OHP-induced, but not 5-FU-induced, cytotoxicity and apoptosis in HT29 and SW480 cells. CAPN2 was a direct target of miR-124, and its protein expression was reduced by forced expression of miR-124. miR-124 inhibited tumorigenesis and promoted OS of mice bearing xenograft tumors, especially upon L-OHP treatment. miR-124 also promoted L-OHP-induced apoptosis and restrained CAPN2 protein expression in xenograft tumors. Our results suggest that miR-124 could be considered as both a predictor of L-OHP-based chemotherapy for personalized treatment and a therapeutic target for CRC.
RESUMEN
The optimal number of examined lymph nodes (ELN) for staging and impact of nodal status on survival following total pancreatectomy (TP) for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic impact of different lymph node status after TP for PDAC.The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was used to identify patients who underwent TP for PDAC from 2004 to 2015. We calculated overall survival (OS) of these patients using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards model.Overall, 1291 patients were included in the study, with 869 node-positive patients (49.5%). A cut-off points analysis revealed that 19, 19, and 13 lymph nodes best discriminated OS for all patients, node-negative patients, and node-positive patients, respectively. Higher number of ELN than the corresponding cut-off points was an independent predictor for better prognosis [all patients: hazard ratios (HR) 0.786, Pâ=â.002; node-negative patients: HR 0.714, Pâ=â.043; node-positive patients: HR 0.678, Pâ<â.001]. For node-positive patients, 1 to 3 positive lymph nodes (PLN) correlated independently with better survival compared with those with 4 or more PLN (HR 1.433, Pâ=â.002). Moreover, when analyzed in node-positive patients with less than 13 ELN, neither the number of PLN nor lymph node ratio (LNR) was associated with survival. However, when limited node-positive patients with at least 13 ELN, univariate analyses showed that both the number of PLN and LNR were associated with survival, whereas multivariate analyses demonstrated that only number of PLN was consistently associated with survival (HR 1.556, Pâ=â.004).Evaluation at least 19 lymph nodes should be considered as quality metric of surgery in patients who underwent TP for PDAC. For node-negative patients, a minimal number of 19 lymph nodes is adequate to avoid stage migration. For node-positive patients, PLN is superior to LNR in predicting survival after TP, predominantly for those with high number of ELN.

BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer is the third most lethal malignant tumor worldwide. Metastasis has always been a major cause of poor prognosis. Epidemiological evidence shows that the most common sites for metastasis of gastric carcinoma are the liver (48%), peritoneum (32%), lung (15%), and bone (12%); however, subcutaneous metastasis is are and occurs in approximately 0.8% of cases. We report a rare case of armpit subcutaneous metastasis of gastric cancer. The best surgical window was missed, as a result of lacking attention of the mass. CASE SUMMARY: A 69-year-old man who had previously undergone radical gastrectomy and received eight cycles of oral chemotherapy for gastric cancer showed a rapidly growing mass in his the left armpit; within just 3 mo, the mass grew to a size of 6.9 cm × 4.4 cm × 5.7 cm. Color Doppler ultrasonography and Positron emission tomography/computed tomography prompted the possibility of metastasis of the malignancy. Fine needle aspiration biopsy guided by color Doppler ultrasound showed the presence of cancer cells in the mass. Immunohistochemical examination showed CDX-2 (+), PCK (+), CK20 (+), CK7 (-), and TTF (-), which supported the metastasis of gastric cancer. Considering the risk of resection, the patient did not undergo surgical treatment. CONCLUSION: The case indicates that unidentified subcutaneous masses in patients with a history of gastric cancer should be carefully evaluated.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The survival of pancreatic cancer patients with lesions in different locations is unclear. In addition, the different surgery types for nonmetastatic pancreatic head cancer (PHC) or body/tail cancer (PBTC) have different prognostic influences. We analyzed the association by stage between tumor location (head vs. body/tail) and survival of nonmetastatic pancreatic cancer patients who underwent surgery. METHODS: We identified stages I to III pancreatic cancer patients who underwent surgery from 2004 through 2015 by using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for cancer-specific survival (CSS) were obtained using Cox regression. RESULTS: A total of 13517 patients or 86.6% had PHC. PHC patients were more likely to have an advanced tumor stage, higher tumor grade, and more frequent and a higher number of positive lymph nodes compared with PBTC patients. The PHC patients had a worse CSS than PBTC patients (P<0.001) and were predominantly at stage I (P = 0.008) and II (P = 0.004). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that PHC was an independent prognostic factor associated with a worse CSS in pancreatic cancer patients (HR 1.132, 95% CI 1.042-1.228, P = 0.003), predominantly at stage II (HR 1.128, 95% CI 1.030-1.235, P = 0.009). CONCLUSION: At a resectable early stage, the PHC patients had a worse CSS than PBTC patients after surgery. PHC was an independent prognostic factor associated with worse survival in pancreatic cancer patients, predominantly at stage II.

Ectopic pancreas is defined as pancreatic tissues having no anatomic or vascular connections with the orthotopic pancreas. It is difficult for clinicians to diagnose this disease without performing a histopathological examination because it lacks specific clinical manifestations. This case report is of a 46-year-old woman who presented with epigastric pain. She had elevated serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 72-4 (CA72-4). Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a persistently enhanced mass in the proximal jejunum, which was confirmed as ectopic pancreas via histopathological examination. Her serum CEA and CA72-4 levels were restored to normal ranges after resecting the jejunal ectopic pancreas. This is the first reported case of ectopic pancreas causing an elevation in serum CEA and CA-724 levels; this report supports the metaplasia theory and suggests that jejunal masses should be cautiously diagnosed for avoiding unnecessary concerns among patients and their families.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The only curative treatment for pancreatic adenocarcinoma is radical surgical resection. Because of the special anatomic features of pancreatic neck, the selection of optimal surgical procedure for treatment of adenocarcinoma of pancreatic neck has always been a dilemma for surgeons. In this paper, we aim to investigate whether different surgical procedures can affect prognosis in the patient with adenocarcinoma of pancreatic neck. METHODS: We used the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results database to review patients with adenocarcinoma of pancreatic neck diagnosed between 1998 and 2015. We calculated overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of these patients using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression model. RESULTS: Overall, 1443 patients were included in the study, with 12.5% treated with surgical resection. Among them, 30 (18.8%) patients underwent distal pancreatectomy (DP), 105 (65.6%) patients underwent pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), and 25 (15.6%) patients underwent total pancreatectomy (TP). Patients underwent DP were older than these underwent TP (70.5±10.7 vs. 62.2±14.1, P = 0.027). Patients underwent TP had higher percentages of nodal metastasis (N1 stage) than these underwent DP (68.0% vs. 34.5%, P = 0.014). The surgical procedures did not significantly affect either OS times (P = 0.924) or CSS times (P = 0.786) in Kaplan-Meier analysis, even if in any subgroup of AJCC stage. The multivariate Cox regression model showed that types of surgery were not associated with OS and CSS. Higher tumor grade and AJCC stage are independent prognostic factors for OS and CSS. No radiotherapy was associated with a worse CSS (HR 1.610, 95% CI 1.016-2.554, P = 0.043). CONCLUSION: Different surgical procedures did not affect prognosis in the patients with adenocarcinoma of pancreatic neck. TP should be performed in carefully selective patients in high-volume pancreatic centers.

BACKGROUND: Spigelian hernia (SH) is rare and constitutes less than 2% of all hernias. It is reported that more than 90% of SHs lie in the "Spigelian belt", but SH in the upper abdominal wall is extremely uncommon. Here, we report a case of SH in the right upper quadrant of abdomen. CASE PRESENTATION: A 38-year-old female was admitted to hospital with complaints of abdominal pain and right upper quadrant mass for 10 days. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) of abdomen revealed the dilated small intestine between the swelling ventral muscles in the right upper abdominal wall which suggested a ventral hernia. The surgeons considered it was a spontaneous hernia because there was no history of surgery or trauma in the upper abdomen. About two hours later, the patient underwent emergency surgery. According to laparotomy, a diagnosis of SH with ileum herniation in the right upper abdominal wall was confirmed. The necrotic ileum segment was resected. Meanwhile the abdominal wall defect was repaired by suturing the internal oblique and transverse muscles to the rectus sheath. The patient had a favorable outcome for 1 year without recurrence. CONCLUSION: A mass and pain in the upper abdominal wall may suggest an atypical SH. SH occurring in the upper abdominal wall is a rare condition with possibility of dire outcome if not managed early.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Obesity is an independent risk factor for severe acute pancreatitis (AP). Leptin plays an important role in energy homeostasis. It has been reported that leptin might also participate in the regulation of the intestinal mucosal barrier and inflammatory response. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of leptin on the intestinal mucosal barrier and inflammatory injury in obese mice with AP. SUBJECTS/METHODS: AP was induced in leptin-deficient (ob/ob) or wild type (WT) mice by peritoneal injection of caerulein. The animals were divided into 4 groups: WT mice with or without exogenous leptin injection and ob/ob mice with or without leptin treatment. The inflammatory scoring of the pancreas and intestine were evaluated. Intestinal permeability, ileal interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-1ß, proliferation, apoptosis and intestinal expression levels of claudin-1 and occludin were measured. RESULTS: Pancreatic pathologic scores (8.50 ± 0.96 vs. 3.78 ± 1.35, p < 0.001), pancreatic levels of IL-6 (8.34 ± 3.21 ng/mg vs. 4.99 ± 0.53 ng/mg, p = 0.022), intestinal oedema scores (2.25 ± 0.46 vs. 1.14 ± 0.69, p = 0.001) and intestinal permeability to FD4 (0.78 ± 0.06 µg/ml vs. 0.53 ± 0.11 µg/ml, p < 0.001) were significantly higher in ob/ob mice than those in WT mice. Leptin replacement in ob/ob mice greatly improved the intestinal permeability (FD4 0.66 ± 0.03 µg/ml, vs. 0.78 ± 0.06 µg/ml, p = 0.012), increased the ileal expression of claudin-1(1.07 ± 0.08 vs. 0.83 ± 0.07 relative densitometry, p = 0.001) and reduced intestinal IL-6 and IL-1ß to levels comparable to those in WT mice. The pancreatic level of IL-6 in ob/ob mice treated with leptin was also significantly decreased relative to that of untreated ob/ob mice (4.45 ± 1.71 ng/mg vs. 8.34 ± 3.21 ng/mg, p = 0.010). CONCLUSIONS: Obesity may aggravate intestinal inflammation and increase intestinal permeability under the condition of acute pancreatitis. Exogenous leptin supplementation was in favour of anti-inflammation and improvement of intestinal mucosal barrier.

As well known, signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) is a rare histological subtype of colorectal adenocarcinoma, which has been associated with poor prognosis and resistant to non-surgery therapy compared with common adenocarcinoma. In this study, we assessed the effect of preoperative radiotherapy (PRT) for locally advanced rectal SRCC in a large patient group from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program (SEER, 1988-2011) database. SRCC was found in 0.9% (n = 622) rectal cancer (RC) patients in our study. In the PRT setting, SRCC had significantly worse cancer-specific survival than mucinous adenocarcinoma and nonmucinous adenocarcinoma patients (log-rank, P < 0.001). In terms of SRCC, stage III RC patients benefited from PRT (log-rank, P < 0.001) while stage II did not (P = 0.095). The multivariate Cox proportional hazard model showed that PRT was an independent benefit factor in stage III rectal SRCC patients (HR, 0.611; 95% CI, 0.407-0.919; P = 0.018). In conclusion, SRCC was an independent predictor of poor prognosis in stage III RC patients, but not in stage II. In the PRT setting of locally advanced RC, SRCC patients had significantly worse prognosis. PRT was an independent prognostic factor associated with improved survival in stage III rectal SRCC.

Mucinous adenocarcinoma (MC) is a special histology subtype of colorectal adenocarcinoma. The survival of MC is controversial and the prognostic biomarkers of MC remain unclear. To analyze prognostic significance and molecular features of colorectal MC. This study included 755,682 and 1001 colorectal cancer (CRC) patients from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program (SEER, 1973-2011), and Linköping Cancer (LC, 1972-2009) databases. We investigated independently the clinicopathological characteristics, survival, and variety of molecular features from these 2 databases. MC was found in 9.3% and 9.8% patients in SEER and LC, respectively. MC was more frequently localized in the right colon compared with nonmucinous adenocarcinoma (NMC) in both SEER (57.7% vs 37.2%, Pâ<â0.001) and LC (46.9% vs 27.7%, Pâ<â0.001). Colorectal MC patients had significantly worse cancer-specific survival (CSS) than NMC patients (SEER, Pâ<â0.001; LC, Pâ=â0.026), prominently in stage III (SEER, Pâ<â0.001; LC, Pâ=â0.023). The multivariate survival analysis showed that MC was independently related to poor prognosis in rectal cancer patients (SEER, hazard ratios [HR], 1.076; 95% confidence intervals [CI], 1.057-1.096; Pâ<â0.001). In LC, the integrated analysis of genetic and epigenetic features showed that that strong expression of PINCH (HR, 3.954; 95% CI, 1.493-10.47; Pâ=â0.013) and weak expression of RAD50 (HR 0.348, 95% CI, 0.106-1.192; Pâ=â0.026) were significantly associated with poor CSS of colorectal MC patients. In conclusion, the colorectal MC patients had significantly worse CSS than NMC patients, prominently in stage III. MC was an independent prognostic factor associated with worse survival in rectal cancer patients. The PINCH and RAD50 were prognostic biomarkers for colorectal MC patients.

The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in young adults is rising. We aimed to analyze the clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes of young versus elderly CRC patients. All patients diagnosed with CRC in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program data (1988-2011) from the United States were evaluated. They were divided into 3 groups by age at diagnosis: group 1 (20-40 years old), group 2 (41-50 years old), and group 3 (>50 years old). The clinicopathological characteristics and CRC-specific survival (CRC-SS) were evaluated and compared among the 3 groups. A total of 279,623 CRC patients were included: 6700 (2.4%) in group 1, 19,385 (6.9%) in group 2, and 253,538 (90.7%) in group 3. Young CRC patients had more tumors located in rectum, fewer cases with multiple tumors, later stage, more mucinous carcinoma and signet ring-cell carcinoma, more poor differentiated tumors, and more lymph nodes (no. ≥12) examined. The 5-year CRC-SS rates of patients in groups 1, 2, and 3 were 65.1%, 67.1%, and 62.8%, respectively (group 1 vs group 2, P = 0.001; group 1 vs group 3, P < 0.001; group 2 vs group 3, P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed older (>50 years old) age was an independent predictor of poor prognosis (hazard ratio, 1.545; 95% confidence interval, 1.456-1.639; P < 0.001). Young CRC patients had later stage presentation and more aggressive pathological features, but better survival. CRC patients aged 41 to 50 years had best CRC-SS in contrast to patients in another 2 age groups.

The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in young patients (≤ 50 years of age) appears to be increasing. However, their clinicopathological characteristics and survival are controversial. Likewise, the biomarkers are unclear. We used the West China (2008-2013, China), Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program (1973-2011, United States) and Linköping Cancer (1972-2009, Sweden) databases to analyse clinicopathological characteristics, survival and multiple biomarkers of young CRC patients. A total of 509,934 CRC patients were included from the three databases. The young CRC patients tended to have more distal location tumours, fewer tumour numbers, later stage, more mucinous carcinoma and poorer differentiation. The cancer-specific survival (CSS) of young patients was significantly better. The PRL (HR = 12.341, 95% CI = 1.615-94.276, P = 0.010), RBM3 (HR = 0.093, 95% CI = 0.012-0.712, P = 0.018), Wrap53 (HR = 1.952, 95% CI = 0.452-6.342, P = 0.031), p53 (HR = 5.549, 95% CI = 1.176-26.178, P = 0.045) and DNA status (HR = 17.602, 95% CI = 2.551-121.448, P = 0.001) were associated with CSS of the young patients. In conclusion, this study suggests that young CRC patients present advanced tumours and more malignant pathological features, while they have a better prognosis. The PRL, RBM3, Wrap53, p53 and DNA status are potential prognostic biomarkers for the young CRC patients.
