Imagine if a single blood test could tell clinicians in real time how successful a cancer surgery has been. A recent study from the University of Brasília, published in Oncotarget, suggests that such an approach might soon be possible. By tracking changes in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) levels before, during, and after colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery, researchers have found a potential new way to monitor tumor removal and predict patient outcomes. Cell-Free DNA and Colorectal Cancer Surgery Cell-free DNA consists of tiny fragments of genetic material that are released into the bloodstream when cells break down. In healthy individuals, these fragments come from normal cell turnover, but in cancer patients, some of this DNA originates from tumor cells. cfDNA detection has been used to track cancer progression and treatment response in diseases like lung, breast, and CRC. What had not been investigated until now was how cfDNA levels fluctuate during cancer surgery itself. Since surgery is the primary treatment for CRC, understanding how cfDNA levels change during surgical intervention could provide valuable insights into whether the tumor has been fully removed and how the patient's body reacts to the procedure. The Study: Measuring Cell-Free DNA in Real-Time In the study, titled “Assessment of cfDNA release dynamics during colorectal cancer surgery,” led by first author Mailson Alves Lopes and corresponding author Fabio Pittella-Silva, scientists analyzed ​​blood plasma samples from 30 CRC patients at three critical time points—before, during, and after surgery. Using highly sensitive genetic tests, they measured changes in cfDNA concentration to determine whether surgery had a direct impact on its release. The goal was to check whether cfDNA could serve as a biomarker for evaluating surgical effectiveness and predicting the probability of cancer recurrence.

BUFFALO, NY - January 27, 2025 – A new #research paper was #published in Oncotarget's Volume 16 on January 21, 2025, titled “Assessment of cfDNA release dynamics during colorectal cancer surgery." Researchers from the University of Brasília investigated how cell-free DNA (cfDNA) levels in the blood change before, during, and after colorectal cancer surgery. The study found that cfDNA levels increase significantly during and after surgery. The findings suggest that cfDNA could help clinicians evaluate surgery effectiveness and monitor patient outcomes. cfDNA consists of small DNA fragments released into the bloodstream when cells die and break apart. In healthy individuals, cfDNA usually comes from normal cell turnover, while in cancer patients, some of it originates from tumor cells. Measuring cfDNA levels offers valuable insights into a patient's condition and is already being used to track disease progression and treatment response in cancers such as lung, breast, and colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, affecting millions of people each year. Surgery is often the primary treatment, but up to 50% of patients experience cancer recurrence afterward. In this study, the research team, led by first author Mailson Alves Lopes and corresponding author Fabio Pittella-Silva, analyzed blood samples from 30 patients at three key time points: before, during, and after surgery. It was found that cfDNA levels increased nearly threefold during surgery and doubled after surgery compared to pre-surgery levels. The increases were even higher in individuals over 60, those with preexisting conditions such as diabetes or heart disease, and patients with elevated levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), a common cancer marker. Patients with the highest cfDNA levels were those with larger or more aggressive tumors, likely due to greater tissue damage during surgery. Additionally, longer surgeries were linked to higher cfDNA levels. “[...]we observed that cfDNA concentration may rise in correlation with the duration of the surgery, highlighting its potential as a marker of surgical quality.” These findings suggest that cfDNA could be a valuable, non-invasive biomarker for clinicians to monitor colorectal cancer patients. Tracking cfDNA levels may help better evaluate surgical outcomes and determine whether patients require closer follow-up care. While these findings are promising, further research is needed to standardize cfDNA testing and validate its usefulness. Larger studies could help establish cfDNA testing as a reliable tool for cancer care and postoperative monitoring, with the potential to become a routine part of clinical practice in the future.

Through elaborate multidisciplinary collaboration, institutions with National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer (NAPRC) standards can deliver a “high level of care” in the surgical treatment of patients with rectal cancer, according to Steven Wexner, MD, PhD, and Arielle Kanters, MD. In a conversation with CancerNetwork®, Wexner and Kanters detailed the history and advancement of the NAPRC as an interdisciplinary initiative to improve the outcomes of those undergoing surgery for rectal cancer. Wexner is the chair in the Department of Colorectal Surgery and director of the Ellen Leifer Shulman & Steven Shulman Digestive Disease Center at Cleveland Clinic, Florida, the founding chair of the NAPRC for the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer, and part of the executive committee of the Commission on Cancer. Kanters is a colorectal surgeon, associate fellowship program director, and surgeon leader of the NAPRC program at Cleveland Clinic Main Campus. Wexner spoke about the inspiration for developing the NAPRC as a mission to elevate the level of surgical outcomes in patients with rectal cancer across the United States to those he observed in European countries such as the United Kingdom and Scandinavia. He enlisted leaders from organizations including the Society of Surgical Oncology and the College of American Pathologists to outline and apply appropriate standards for surgical care in rectal cancer. Additionally, Kanters highlighted how enforcing precise guidelines and compliance measures through the NAPRC program facilitates multidisciplinary efforts with colleagues who specialize in radiology and pathology. She stated that these principles help individuals develop their skills across each department, thereby maintaining a high level of treatment for patients with rectal cancer.  Findings from a study published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons indicated that mortality and complication rates appeared to be lower for patients who received surgery for rectal cancer at NAPRC-accredited institutions compared with those who were treated at non-accredited practices. Wexner and Kanters also discussed how potential advancements related to the use of neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy may further improve patient outcomes in the field. Additionally, they spoke about updated research on immunotherapy and other modalities that they anticipate at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Vikki: My son had kawasaki disease at 5yo. In hospital for week, got 2 IVIG treatments & high doses aspirin. Heart always looked good. Hes 16 & has been dealing w mild hearing loss& tinnitus, what can he do to lessen ringing or reverse? Assuming it was caused by the disease. Covid made it worse (no shot). Dizzy when it's at its worst. Avoids loud places, like movie theatre/church. Tried hearing aids but says didn't help. Healthy otherwise. Also what do you know about Kawasaki& future complications? TY   Fiona: I have used your products to correct my autoimmune issues, thank you so much for helping me. My daughter is fighting a EBV infection and is so exhausted every day. She has just had an IV vitamin C treatment. She also has Enterococus Avium detected in stool. Bifidobacterium bifidium and breve, Lactobacillus plantarum, casei and acidophlis have low readings. What is the best protocol for her to follow please   Jay: Hi Dr. Cabral I want to thank you and your team for all the work you do - it has been life changing for both me and my clients. I ran the big 5 did FM 21 detox, HMD, Ultimate sleep, Estrogen detox, and in the CBO protocol. I am wondering if you could tell me when I could retest to see improvement (looking to concieve - want to make sure everything is optimized). For reference I had low DHEA, high cortisol, estrogen dominance, + mercury, + aluminum candida, and oxalic acid.   Patricia: Dear Dr. Cabral, thank you for all the information and knowledge you share, it has really made a difference in my life. This question is related to my father, he is 84 years old and recently diagnosed with skin cancer on different areas on his face,we believe it was caused to sun exposure and or chemicals due to his job when younger as a Petroleum Engineer working in the field. He has molds in his face and his back, some of those cancerous. One was recently removed from his tear duct cancerous. He is scheduled to have surgery soon for all the others found. Is there any recommendation you can give me on things that he can do before and after the procedure related to diet and supplements that can help him heal faster and prevent recurrencies? I value so much your opinion. Thank you so much   Fernanda: I bought an EquiLife heavy metal detox kit for me and my husband and I just did your regular detox course online. Now I am wondering how these 2 compare. We don't want to lose weight as we are overall healthy already. We have completed three 5-day fasts using another product (Prolon) recently. How does a 5-day fast compare to EquiLife 7 day detox as far as removing toxins go? Will the removal of toxins in a 5-day water only or Prolon fast be compromised because there may not be enough amino acids to aid the phase 2 detox pathways? Should I do the regular detox before the heavy metal one? Please feel free to email me directly if that is not a question that you would like to answer on the podcast. FYI: I am also currently an IHP1 student and I bought 8 of the books you recommended so far.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3032 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

This episode was recorded when recovery from breast cancer surgery was still the primary focus in my life. Post-op life was a little less hectic at this point in time. There certainly seemed to be fewer health care appointments than right after surgery or in the month right before surgery. Despite fewer appointments, life was anything but routine, because recovery from breast cancer surgery is not a routine thing. Listen as I describe the switch back to real clothes (and sleeker bras) and my efforts to get out and about on my own for the first few times after surgery.  The Cordaw brand supportive bra I purchased from Amazon  Breast Cancer Life is a podcast about my breast cancer experience. This is for you, the person who may be facing a diagnosis, and the person who knows someone facing the reality or real possibility of a breast cancer diagnosis. Nothing could have prepared me for this lived experience. My hope is that you get a glimpse of what this life is like.  Subscribe, rate, and review the Breast Cancer Life podcast.  The content of this podcast is not intended to substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
