Abstract

DNA methylation is a key mechanism of colorectal carcinogenesis. Analysis of aberrantly methylation in stool DNA might provide a novel strategy for noninvasive detection of colorectal cancer (CRC). To explore the feasibility of this approach, we have assessed the methylation status of secreted frizzled-related protein gene 2 (SFRP2) in stool samples from patients with CRC with respect to a series of healthy individuals and patients with benign colorectal diseases, using methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction. Methylated SFRP2 occurs in 94.2%, 52.4%, 37.5%, and 16.7% of patients with CRC, adenomas, hyperplstic polyps, and ulcerative colitis, respectively. Of the 24 normal individuals, only 1 revealed methylated DNA. The pilot study revealed that aberrant methylated SFRP2 could be detected frequently in stools from patients with CRC and precancerous lesions. Methylation testing of fecal DNA may be a simple, promising, and noninvasive screening tool for colorectal neoplasia.

Mehr Lebenszeit mit Abemaciclib bei fortgeschrittenem Brustkrebs?

24.05.2024 Mammakarzinom Nachrichten

In der MONARCHE-3-Studie lebten Frauen mit fortgeschrittenem Hormonrezeptor-positivem, HER2-negativem Brustkrebs länger, wenn sie zusätzlich zu einem nicht steroidalen Aromatasehemmer mit Abemaciclib behandelt wurden; allerdings verfehlte der numerische Zugewinn die statistische Signifikanz.

ADT zur Radiatio nach Prostatektomie: Wenn, dann wohl länger

24.05.2024 Prostatakarzinom Nachrichten

Welchen Nutzen es trägt, wenn die Strahlentherapie nach radikaler Prostatektomie um eine Androgendeprivation ergänzt wird, hat die RADICALS-HD-Studie untersucht. Nun liegen die Ergebnisse vor. Sie sprechen für länger dauernden Hormonentzug.

„Überwältigende“ Evidenz für Tripeltherapie beim metastasierten Prostata-Ca.

22.05.2024 Prostatakarzinom Nachrichten

Patienten mit metastasiertem hormonsensitivem Prostatakarzinom sollten nicht mehr mit einer alleinigen Androgendeprivationstherapie (ADT) behandelt werden, mahnt ein US-Team nach Sichtung der aktuellen Datenlage. Mit einer Tripeltherapie haben die Betroffenen offenbar die besten Überlebenschancen.

So sicher sind Tattoos: Neue Daten zur Risikobewertung

Das größte medizinische Problem bei Tattoos bleiben allergische Reaktionen. Melanome werden dadurch offensichtlich nicht gefördert, die Farbpigmente könnten aber andere Tumoren begünstigen.
