In response to the breakthrough progress and accumulation of evidence from key clinical trials, the Chinese Society of Colorectal Surgery has recognised the need for updated consensus guidance on the development of perioperative and organ-preserving treatment strategies for LARC. This expert consensus guidance provided unified standards for the indications, medication regimens, efficacy evaluations and follow-up of ICIs in this population, with a focus mainly on perioperative management and organ-sparing strategies. The diagnostic part of this consensus guidance is based on the internationally recognised definition of mismatch repair/microsatellite instability detection and emphasises the importance of multidisciplinary teams in treatment decision-making. In terms of treatment, based on the results of key trials that have changed clinical practice in the past 5 years, this expert consensus provides graded recommendations for the duration of preoperative immunotherapy and the necessity of postoperative adjuvant therapy, local resection and organ preservation strategies. Moreover, we refined the management process for the safety of perioperative immunotherapy. This document aims to provide a reference for surgeons; internal medicine, radiation therapy, pathology and imaging physicians; patients and nursing staff involved in the treatment of LARC, as well as health policy makers.</p>","PeriodicalId":12825,"journal":{"name":"Gut","volume":" ","pages":"2102-2117"},"PeriodicalIF":24.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147305063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The common denominator is the presence of functional variants in the PFIC-associated genes, predominantly in <i>ABCB4</i>, <i>ABCB11</i> and <i>ATP8B1</i>, which cause PFIC types 1-3. Several other congenital diseases such as Alagille syndrome and alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency comprise cholestatic pruritus as frequent symptoms.With the availability of intestinal bile acid transporter inhibitors (IBATi) as new and efficacious therapeutics for pruritus, the most debilitating symptom of PFIC, it is essential to envision their usefulness for patients with later-onset cholestatic liver disease suffering from pruritus.In this review, we summarise published studies on the genetic makeup of patients with paediatric, juvenile and adult-onset cholestasis, and discuss their findings with respect to genotype-specific treatment with IBATi, ursodeoxycholic acid, or alternative drugs.

Patients with ovarian, endometrial and cervical cancers exhibit distinct alterations in their gut microbiota, characterised by reduced microbial diversity and shifts towards taxa associated with dysbiosis and chronic inflammation. Mechanistically, gut-derived metabolites and microbial translocation appear to influence systemic immune responses and oestrogen metabolism, thereby fostering a tumour microenvironment conducive to cancer growth. Beyond its role in tumourigenesis, the gut microbiota also affects treatment outcomes. Dysbiosis can reduce sensitivity to chemotherapy and alter immunotherapy responses, while antibiotic use during cancer treatment has been linked to poorer prognosis. Clinically, these insights highlight emerging applications of microbiome modulation as biomarkers for patient stratification and as adjuvant approaches to enhance therapeutic efficacy in gynaecological oncology, underscoring the therapeutic potential of targeting the microbiota-through dietary interventions, probiotics or faecal microbiota transplantation-to improve cancer treatment outcomes. However, most of these applications remain investigational, and current evidence is limited by heterogeneity across study designs, patient cohorts and cancer subtypes.
