Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis, often because most pancreatic neoplasms are found to be unresectable at diagnosis. Early staging of the tumor process can change the tactics of treatment and affect the survival of patients. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of pancreatic cancer and the role of modern imaging in its diagnosis with an emphasis on PET/CT with a various radiopharmaceuticals.

Colorectal cancer is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer in Poland as well as in the world. In addition, this cancer is the second cause of death among oncological diseases. Genetic and environmental factors with a documented impact on the development and progression of colorectal cancer have been thoroughly investigated. Every case of colorectal cancer begins with the stage of a nonmalignant polyp, whose progression to invasive malignant tumor lasts about 10 years. This period is long enough to implement appropriate preventive action that allow early detection and treatment of pre-cancerous lesions. Colorectal cancer screening is the process of detecting polypoid lesions in asymptomatic patients with no history of cancers. Colonoscopy has the benefit of diagnostic and therapeutic tools, which allows to detect and remove of premalignant polyps in a single step approach. The aim of this work is to present the role of a screening program in the prevention of colorectal cancer.

Immunotherapy is a new and exciting modality of cancer treatments. Its role in gastrointestinal malignancies has been promising, especially in advanced disease. Although various therapies are available for treatment of advanced colorectal cancer, survival rates for these patients remain very poor. The application of immunotherapy in colorectal cancer has shown remarkable results for a subset of patients with mismatch-repair-deficient mutations or microsatellite instability in their tumors. This literature review evaluates the current role of immunotherapy in advanced colorectal cancer, potential challenges clinicians face with immunotherapy-based regimens, and the possible future approach of combined modality immunotherapy.
