Sigmoid volvulus is one of the three most common causes of acute colonic obstruction. Predisposing factors include chronic constipation, adhesion from a prior abdominal surgery, and megacolon. However, concomitant presentation of volvulus of the sigmoid colon and rectal cancer is extremely rare. We report a case of a 50-year-old woman with coexisting volvulus of the sigmoid colon and rectal can...

In this case-control study, we examined the food sources of fiber and fiber solubility to determine whether particular components of dietary fiber were differentially associated with risk of colon and rectal cancer. In Western New York, cases with pathologically confirmed, single, primary cancers of the colon and rectum as well as age-, sex- and neighborhood-matched controls were interviewed fr...

Résumé Les métastases osseuses sont généralement d'origine pulmonaire, prostatique, rénale, vésicale ou thyroïdienne chez les hommes. Une origine colorectale est rare. Peu de publications ont décrit ce type de métastases, la localisation la plus fréquente est le rachis axial ou le bassin. La localisation crânio-faciale est exceptionnelle. Nous relatons ainsi le cas d'une observation d'un homme ...

We conducted a population-based case-control study to evaluate the relationship between cancer of the colon-rectum (n = 326), lung (n = 252), brain (n = 37), and pancreas (n = 37), and exposure to tetrachloroethylene (PCE) from public drinking water. Subjects were exposed to PCE when it leached from the vinyl lining of drinking-water distribution pipes. Relative delivered dose of PCE was estima...

Colorectal cancer originates from the colon and rectum in the body. It is a very common type of cancer in the United States. The molecular pathogenesis of colorectal cancer involves complex pathways. There are different types of colonic polyps associated with colorectal cancer; mostly are precancerous in nature. In this article, different pathological mechanisms, colonic polyps, symptoms, diagn...

Background It is known that metachronous colorectal cancer risk for Lynch syndrome patients with primary colon cancer is high and total colectomy is the preferred option [1]. However if the index primary cancer is in the rectum, management advice is complicated by considerations of worsening bowel function or stoma formation. To aid surgical decision-making, we estimated the risk of metachronou...
