Role of
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cause of cancer-related death in both men and women in the western hemisphere. According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 105,500 new cases of colon cancer with 57,100 deaths will occur in the U.S ...

The adenomatous polyposis coli protein. [PDF]
Mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene are associated with most colorectal cancers. The APC protein has been implicated in many aspects of tumour development. This article will discuss recent data suggesting that APC may have multiple functions in the cell.

The adenomatous polyposis coli protein 30 years on
Mutations in the gene encoding the Adenomatous polyposis coli protein (APC) were discovered as driver mutations in colorectal cancers almost 30 years ago. Since then, the importance of APC in normal tissue homeostasis has been confirmed in a plethora of other (model) organisms spanning a large evolutionary space.

What's New? Unraveling the networks that regulate androgen receptor (AR) function is critical to better understanding prostate cancer development and progression. Of particular interest in this regard is the long non‐coding RNA PVT1, which regulates gene expression in cancer and is upregulated in prostate tumors.

APC Promoter Methylation in Gastrointestinal Cancer
The adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene, known as tumor suppressor gene, has the two promoters 1A and 1B. Researches on APC have usually focused on its loss-of-function variants causing familial adenomatous polyposis.

Familial Infiltrative Fibromatosis (Desmoid Tumours) (MIM135290) Caused by a Recurrent 3′ APC Gene Mutation [PDF]
Desmoid tumours are generally very rare but occur about 100 times more frequently in the colorectal cancer predisposition syndrome familial adenomatous polyposis (MIM 175100), being represented in about 10% of patients.

Ovarian steroid cell tumor with biallelic adenomatous polyposis coli inactivation in a patient with familial adenomatous polyposis [PDF]
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant cancer predisposition syndrome that accounts for approximately 0.5–1% of all colorectal cancer cases.

Gut microbiome‐derived metabolites show promise in cancer research and therapy
The metabolites produced by the gut microbiome, which are subject to regulation by multiple factors, play a pivotal role in the progression of various types of cancer. These metabolites not only function as potential biomarkers for the early detection and monitoring of tumor development, but also actively participate in cancer therapeutic processes ...

Adenomatous polyposis coli gene as a gatekeeper.
The Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) Gene is a tumor suppressor gene located in the chromosome 5q21. It has a sequence of 2843 amino acids and a weight of 312 kD. The mutation of the APC gene occurs at the early stages of most sporadic colorectal cancers; and up to 30% in familial adenomatous polyposis.

Congenital hypertrophy of retinal pigment epithelium (CHRPE) in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP); a polyposis registry experience [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant condition giving rise to multiple adenomatous polyps in the colon which invariably become malignant by the fourth decade.
