FDG PETCT in colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer represents the second most common malignancy worldwide, with approximately one million newly diagnosed cases each year, and is the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality. This article provides an overview of the role of FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) PET (positron emission tomography) CT (computed tomography) for assessment in patients with colorectal cancer. A summary of key lear...
متن کاملHepatic Metastasis from Colorectal Cancer
The liver is the most common site of metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer due to its anatomical situation regarding its portal circulation. About 14 to 18% of patients with colorectal cancer present metastasis at the first medical consultation, and 10 to 25% at the time of the resection of the primary colorectal cancer. The incidence is higher (35%) when a computed tomography (CT) scan...
متن کاملHepatic Surgery for Colorectal Cancer Metastasis — Possibilities and Prerequisites
Colorectal cancer is among the most frequent malignant tumours. Liver metastases develop in 70–75% of patients affected by colorectal carcinoma. Nowadays, surgical treatment can significantly improve the 5-year survival ranging 40–58% of the patients undergoing liver surgery. The operation extent ranges from nonanatomic minor resection to major hepatectomy. Recently, liver transplantation has b...
متن کاملThe role of gelatinase in hepatic metastasis of colorectal cancer.
PURPOSE To determine the role of gelatinase in the hepatic metastatic process of colorectal cancer, we correlated gelatinolytic activity in colorectal tumor tissue both to the presence of intravasated colorectal epithelial cells and to the formation of liver metastasis. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The gelatinolytic activity was analyzed in tumor tissue samples from 68 colorectal cancer patients by us...
متن کاملOsteopontin-Enhanced Hepatic Metastasis of Colorectal Cancer Cells
Liver metastasis is a major cause of mortality from colorectal cancer (CRC). However, mechanisms underlying this process are largely unknown. Osteopontin (OPN) is a secreted phosphorylated glycoprotein that is involved in tumor migration and metastasis. The role of OPN in cancer is currently unclear. In this study, OPN mRNA was examined in tissues from CRC, adjacent normal mucosa, and liver met...
