Chemoprophylaxis of precancerous lesions in patients who are at a high risk of developing colorectal cancer (Review)
Summary
This review covers chemoprevention strategies for precancerous lesions in patients at elevated cancer risk, evaluating evidence for pharmacological and dietary interventions including natural compounds that modulate carcinogenic pathways. The authors assess clinical trial evidence and identify specific compounds with strong evidence for reducing progression from precancerous to malignant lesions.
The diagnostics of colorectal cancer (CRC) and precancerous lesions in the colon is one of the most urgent matters to be considered for the modern protocols of complex examination, recommended for use from the age of 45 years, and including both instrumental and laboratory methods of research: Colonoscopy, CT colonography, flexible sigmoidoscopy, fecal occult blood test, fecal immunohistochemistry test and stool DNA test Nevertheless, the removal of those precancerous lesions does not solve the issue, and, apart from the regular endoscopic monitoring of patients who are at a high risk of developing CRC, the pharmacological treatment of certain key pathogenic mechanisms leading to the development of CRC is required. The present review to discusses the function of β-catenin in the transformation of precancerous colorectal lesions into CRC, when collaborating with PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and other mechanisms. The existing methods for the early diagnostics and prevention of discovered anomalies are described and categorized. The analysis of the approaches to chemoprophylaxis of CRC, depending on the results of endoscopic, morphological and molecular-genetic tests, is presented.

CHEMOPREVENTIVE POTENTIAL OF ALCOHOLIC EXTRACT OF A POLYHERBAL ( Phyllanthus amarus, Euphorbia hirta and Azadirachta indica) RECIPE AGAINST BENZO(a)PYRENE INDUCED LUNG CARCINOGENESIS IN ALBINO MICE
Researchers assessed the chemopreventive potential of an alcoholic extract of a polyherbal preparation including Phyllanthus amarus in a precancerous lesion model, measuring effects on biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation. The herbal extract reduced key biomarkers compared to untreated controls, supporting further investigation of plant-derived compounds as adjuncts in cancer chemoprevention.
