- Electroacupuncture for Postoperative Gastrointestinal Recovery After Laparoscopic Colorectal Cancer Resection: A Randomized Controlled Trial Electroacupuncture Fastens Recovery. [Journal Article]Dis Colon Rectum. 2026 Aug 06. [Online ahead of print]DC
- CONCLUSIONS: EA facilitated postoperative recovery without increasing the incidence of complications. This effect was hypothesized to be related to lower IL-1β/IL-6 levels and the rebalance of autonomic nervous system. See Video Abstract.Clinical trial registration: The trial has been registered at chictr.org.cn (ChiCTR2100050660 https://www.chictr.org.cn/hvshowproject.html?id=167502&v=1.9).

- Predictive Value of Endoscopy in the Identification of Complete Response After Neoadjuvant Therapy for Rectal Adenocarcinoma. [Journal Article]Dis Colon Rectum. 2026 Aug 05. [Online ahead of print]DC
- CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopy is an optional tool for identifying luminal complete response after neoadjuvant therapy. Its sensitivity is lower after neoadjuvant chemotherapy than after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, warranting caution against missed diagnoses. Beyond the flat scar, other features like small flat ulcers also have a non-negligible complete response rate. The role of routine biopsy still needs further exploration. See Video Abstract.

- CONCLUSIONS: More patients are undergoing 3-stage and modified 2-stage operations than traditional 2-stage ileal pouch anal anastomosis. This shift parallels an increase in multiple markers of disease severity at IPAA creation, especially exposure to advanced therapies. See Video Abstract.

- Nonoperative Management in Patients With Early-Onset Rectal Adenocarcinoma: A Retrospective Cohort Study. [Journal Article]Dis Colon Rectum. 2026 Aug 04. [Online ahead of print]DC
- CONCLUSIONS: Early-onset rectal cancer patients have at least similar oncological outcomes compared to those in older age groups when treated non-operatively. These data provide reassurance when offering a watch-and-wait approach to patients with early-onset rectal cancer. See Video Abstract.

- Lasting Financial and Professional Impacts Among Survivors of Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer. [Journal Article]Dis Colon Rectum. 2026 Aug 03. [Online ahead of print]DC
- CONCLUSIONS: Survivors of early-onset colorectal cancer face persistent financial and professional effects. Many younger adults have variable access to paid leave and public assistance programs, exacerbating the strain of early-onset colorectal cancer. Protective factors, such as a supportive workplace, access to paid time off, and flexible accommodations, must be strengthened and expanded to better care for the growing population of younger adult cancer survivors.
