ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Clinical prognosis often worsens due to high recurrence rates following radical surgery for colon cancer. The examination of high-risk recurrence factors post-surgery provides critical insights for disease evaluation and treatment planning.
Research motivation
The factors influencing the recurrence of colon cancer after surgery remains unclear.
Research objectives
To explore the relationship between metastasis-associated factor-1 in colon cancer (MACC1) and vacuolar ATP synthase (V-ATPase) expression in colon cancer tissues, and recurrence rate in patients undergoing radical colon cancer surgery.
Research methods
We selected 104 patients treated with radical colon cancer surgery at our hospital from January 2018 to June 2021. Immunohistochemical staining was utilized to assess the expression levels of MACC1 and V-ATPase in these patients.
Research results
The positive rates of MACC1 and V-ATPase were significantly higher in patients with recurrence compared to those without. Logistic regression analysis revealed TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, MACC1 expression, and V-ATPase expression as risk factors for postoperative colon cancer recurrence.
Research conclusions
The upregulated expression of MACC1 and V-ATPase in colon cancer patients appears to correlate with clinicopathological features and post-radical surgery recurrence.
Research perspectives
This study can serve as a reference for clinical prediction of the postoperative recurrence in colon cancer patients.
