0ng/mL for CEA and < 37.0 U/mL for CA19-9) was less significant than that based on the optimal cutoff values. Both elevated CEA and CA19-9 had no value dependency on RFS RFS curves were similar between extremely elevated CEA (≥ 54.0ng/ml) and intermediate CEA (5.4-54.0ng/ml) and between extremely elevated CA19-9 (≥ 224.0 U/ml) and intermediate CA19-9 (22.4-224.0 U/ml). The optimal cutoff values of preoperative CEA and CA19-9 for RFS were 5.4ng/ml and 22.4 U/mL, respectively, in patients with stages II and III colon cancer. Further relapse risk stratification is possible using these values.

They have recently shown some promising results in pre-clinical in vitro and in vivo anti-cancer studies. We compare their efficacy in breast and colon cancer cell lines as well as in non-cancerous cells and elucidate their mechanism of action. The drugs were screened for cytotoxicity in MDA-MB-231, MCF-7 (breast cancer), HT-29 (colorectal cancer), and mesenchymal stromal cells, using the MTT assay. Their effects on the cell cycle, tubulin levels, and cell death mechanisms were analysed using flow cytometry and fluorescent microscopy. Mebendazole and albendazole were found to selectively kill cancer cells, being most potent in the colorectal cancer cell line HT-29, with both drugs having IC values of less than 1µM at 48h. Both mebendazole and albendazole induced classical apoptosis characterised by caspase-3 activation, phosphatidylserine exposure, DNA fragmentation, mitochondrial membrane permeability, and reactive oxygen species production. Cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase was found, and tubulin polymerisation was disrupted. Mebendazole and albendazole were shown to cause selective cancer cell death via a mechanism of classical apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, involving the destabilisation of microtubules.

The tumor microenvironment is rich in pro-angiogenic factors but lacks pro-maturation factors. Pro-angiogenic conditions in the tumor microenvironment, such as hypoxia, are double-edged swords, promoting both the repair of normal tissues and the development of an abnormal blood vessel network. The coexistence of perfusion and hypoxic zones and uneven blood vessel distribution in tumor tissues profoundly influence tumor deterioration, recurrence, and metastasis. Traditional anti-angiogenic therapies have shown limited efficacy, and promote drug resistance, and even metastasis. In contrast, vascular normalization therapy induces a more physiological-like state, leading to better outcomes and fewer side effects. Vascular normalization entails modifying the tumor vascular system to improve tumor oxygenation and substance transport, thereby contributing to improving the efficacy of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. This review mainly focuses on the process of tumor vascularization; potential therapeutic targets, including cells, metabolism, signaling pathways, and angiogenesis-related genes; and possible strategies to normalize blood vessels through regulating tumor vessel generation, the development of tumor vessels, and blood vessel fusion and pruning. Lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1 (LPCAT1) has repeatedly been suggested to be associated with tumorigenesis. To evaluate the rol
