Abstract:
The biological characteristics of right-sided colon cancer were examined in 74 colon cancers with regard to clinicopathological parameters, proliferative activity and p53 expression. Significant differences between right-sided and left-sided colon cancer were found in age, tumor size, histological type and lymphatic vessel invasion. The proliferating cell nuclear antigen labeling index did not significantly differ between the two cancers. The frequency of p53 overexpression was lower in the former than in the latter. The results suggested that right-sided colon cancer did not differ from left-sided colon cancer in proliferative activity except for its tendency to be locally advanced and to differ in carcinogenesis.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
