Pancreaticoduodenectomy for locally advanced colon cancer in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), or Lynch syndrome, accounts for 3% of newly diagnosed cases of colorectal cancer. While a partial or subtotal colectomy is indicated for early stage disease, there is a paucity of data addressing locally advanced disease involving the foregut. CASE PRESENTATION We report two patients with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer presenting with locally advanced colon cancer surgically managed by pancreaticoduodenectomy with en bloc partial colectomy and a review of the literature. CONCLUSIONS Locally advanced colorectal cancer in HNPCC is a rare clinical entity that requires special surgical consideration. Multidisciplinary treatment, including multi-visceral resection, offers the best long-term outcome.

Introduction: Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC, Lynch syndrome) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease. The disease is caused by a mutation in one of four genes of the DNA mismatch repair system and increases the risk for various cancers, especially the uterine and colon cancers. The prevalence of this disease in the general population is about 1 in 500 and it causes about 2-3...

Molecular Analysis of Microsatellite Instability in Hereditary Non Polyposis Colon Carcinoma Patients from North-East Iran
Background and Objectives: Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is an autosomal dominant cancer predisposition syndrome caused by germ-line mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes. Tumors arising as a result of these mutations display instability in a sequence area known as microsatellites. Studies have shown that some Bethesda markers (BAT25, BAT26) are more efficient than other...

Background and Purpose: Each year, about 50,000 new cases of cancer occur in Iran and the most common being the gastrointestinal (GI) tract (38%). Colorectal cancers account for the 3rd and 4th most prevalent cancers in Iranian men and women, respectively. Since genetic and environmental factors lead to differences in colorectal cancer occurrence in different geographic regions and races, we ...
متن کاملEn bloc pancreaticoduodenectomy and right hemicolectomy to treat locally advanced right colon cancer: report of three cases.
Although colorectal tumors are fairly common surgical conditions, 5 to 12% of these tumors are locally advanced (T4 tumors) upon diagnosis. In this particular situation, the efficacy of en bloc multivisceral resection has been proven. When right-colon cancer invades the proximal duodenum or even the pancreatic head, a challenging dilemma arises due to complexity of the curative surgical procedu...
