The experience with 28 patients undergoing hepatic resection for metastases from colorectal cancer is reported. In 15 cases the metastases were synchronous, in 13 metachronous, appearing 12 to 60 months after surgery of primary cancer. Six patients underwent right lobectomy, 2 left lobectomy, 9 left lateral segmentectomy, 6 right wedge resection and 2 bilateral wedge resection. In 20 cases the ...

BACKGROUND Renal cell carcinoma developing metastases in the bladder is rare. Bladder metastasis due to a papillary type of renal cell carcinoma is rarer. Such metastases could be synchronous or metachronous. CASE PRESENTATION Here we present a 55-year-old female patient with haematuria who underwent left nephro-ureterectomy for a suspected urothelial tumour. Histopathology revealed it to be ...

Barrett's adenocarcinoma may occur in multiple sites, and recurrence and metachronous lesions are the major problems with endoscopic resection. Therefore, early detection of such lesions is ideal to achieve complete resection and obtain improved survival rates with minimally invasive treatment. Laser imaging systems allow multiple modalities of endoscopic imaging by using white light laser, fle...

CONTEXT Colonoscopy is essential for synchronous and metachronous cancer detection. Carcinoembryonic antigen is a colorectal cancer tumor marker, important as a follow-up tool in patients with previous colorectal cancer. False-positive carcinoembryonic antigen elevation results in multiples exams and in patient anxiety. In literature, there is reference to transient carcinoembryonic antigen inc...

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. Contralateral breast carcinoma is the most common second malignancy in patients with breast carcinoma. Bilateral breast carcinomas exist in 2 forms: synchronous, in which both tumors occur at the same time, or metachronous, in which they occur at different times. When breast cancer is diagnosed, the contralateral breast should be careful...

Objective: The purpose of the study was to explore the relationship between hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and hepatic metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: Four hundred and eighty cases of NSCLC were retrospectively analyzed from January 2003 to January 2010, and the prevalence of hepatic metastasis of NSCLC in patients with and without hepatitis B virus infection were ...

BACKGROUND Patients with advanced gastric cancer (GC) may ultimately die because GC mostly leads to synchronous or metachronous metastasis. However, colonic metastasis of GC is extremely rare. According to a PubMed search of papers published from May 1968 to March 2017, only 21 patients with GC (10 patients from 10 case reports and 11 patients from a retrospective study) have been found to have...

Abstract Background Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) can present as synchronous metastatic disease, where primary metastases are detected at the time of diagnosis, or metachronous appear during follow-up after initial RCC diagnosis. The effect to metastasis on patient outcomes is not well characterized in era immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based combinations. Herein, we assess differenc...

Alcohol consumption is a known cause of cancer, but its role in the etiology second primary (metachronous) cancer uncertain. Associations between alcohol intake up until study enrollment (prediagnosis) and risk metachronous were estimated using 9435 participants Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study who diagnosed with their first invasive after (1990-1994). Follow-up was from date diagnosis deat...
