Functional food science and gastrointestinal physiology and function

TL;DR: The develop-ment of functional foods for the gut is in its infancy and will be successful only if more fundamental research is done on digestive physiology, the gut microflora, immune system and mucosal function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Worldwide burden of colorectal cancer: a review.

TL;DR: The aim of this paper is to provide a review of incidence, mortality and survival rates for colorectal cancer as well as their geographic variations and temporal trends.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microsatellite instability in colorectal cancer is associated with local lymphocyte infiltration and low frequency of distant metastases

TL;DR: Clinical and histopathological features as well as the microsatellite status and lymphocyte infiltration were evaluated in 120 colorectal cancer cases, suggesting that MSI-H CRCs elicit a protective host response that may prevent metastasis formation.

High prevalence of Foxp3 and IL17 in MMR-proficient colorectal carcinomas

TL;DR: Characterising the intratumoural expression of markers associated with the antitumour immune response in mismatch repair (MMR)-proficient (MSS) colon cancers displayed different patterns according to MMR status may help identify potential biomarkers for a new prognostic “test set” in sporadic CRCs.
