Blood‐based cell‐free DNA and multitarget stool RNA screening tests to detect colorectal cancer: A systematic review

Cancer, Volume 132, Issue 11, 1 June 2026.
Abstract Two new tests, a cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) blood‐based test (BBT) and multitarget stool RNA (mt‐sRNA) test with in‐laboratory fecal immunochemical testing, were recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, and a second BBT is under review. These tests have the potential to overcome barriers to screening.

Meckel's Diverticulum Causing Sigmoid Knotting and Closed‐Loop Obstruction: A Rare Case Report From a Resource‐Limited Setting

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Meckel's diverticulum rarely causes large bowel obstruction through a fibrous band, leading to sigmoid knotting and closed‐loop gangrene. In patients presenting with acute intestinal obstruction without prior abdominal surgery, this etiology should be considered.
