Collision-type adenosquamous carcinoma of the colon with signet-ring adenocarcinoma: A rare case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introduction and importanceAdenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) of the colon is a rare malignancy, representing approximately 0.06 % of colorectal cancers (CRC). It is characterized by the coexistence of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma components. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we present a unique case of a 47-year-old male diagnosed with collision-type ASC, featuring both signet-ring adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The patient presented with abdominal pain and distension, and imaging revealed multiple colonic strictures and lymphadenopathy. Surgical intervention included an extended left hemicolectomy. Histopathology confirmed the presence of two distinct tumor components, with no evidence of lymph node metastasis. Immunohistochemistry was positive for p63 in the squamous cell component, while HPV DNA testing was negative. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: ASC is known for its aggressive clinical course and poor prognosis compared to adenocarcinoma. Although rare, its clinical and histopathological features are important for guiding management.
conclusionThis case represents the first reported instance of a collision-type colon ASC with a signet-ring adenocarcinoma component. The patient is currently undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy with the modified FOLFOX6 regimen and responding well. Further research is required to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying ASC and improve therapeutic outcomes.
