Pancreatic metastasis from colorectal cancer is rare, and there have been only a few reports of its preoperative diagnosis by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) with immunohistochemical staining. We herein describe the case of a 77-year-old woman in whom a solitary mass in the pancreatic tail was detected 11 years after rectal cancer resection. The patient also had a ...

The registry of digestive tract tumours established for the department of Cote d'Or (France) was used to study the epidemiological characteristics of large bowel cancer subsites for the period 1976-1983. Age standardised incidence rates for colon cancers were 18.9/100,000 for men and 14.2/100,000 for women. The corresponding rates for rectal cancers were 18.4/100,000 and 10.2/100,000. The sex r...

BACKGROUND: Sphincter preservation, disease control, and long-term survival are the main goals in the treatment of rectal cancer. Although transanal local excision is attractive because it is a sphincter sparing procedure, some contradictory data exist in the literature about its ability to locally control disease and provide overall survival comparable with radical procedures, even for patient...

Colo-rectal cancer is a common disease. The Incidence is estimated as 15.7 (male) and 10.4 (female population) / 100.000. The number of patients undergoing curative colorectal surgery has increased, due to the introduction of new surgical strategies, such as total excision of the mesorectum (TME), and confirmation that short surgical resection margins are acceptable.1 Surgical options for patie...

Abstract Background This study aimed to identify socioeconomic predictors of permanent stoma in rectal cancer treatment and examine its association with length stay at the facility. Methods Rectal patients who underwent elective surgery between January 2015 December 2018 were identified from Agency for Health Care Administration Florida Hospital Inpatient Discharge Dataset. Multivariate regress...

BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer and leading cause of cancer-related death in Japan. One of the major problems in rectal cancer surgery is local recurrence. Pelvic sidewall dissection (PSD) has the potential to reduce local recurrence. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study included all 994 patients with rectal cancer who underwent curative surgery from January 1975 until...

PURPOSE Restaging after neoadjuvant treatment is done for planning the surgical approach and, increasingly, to determine whether additional therapy or resection can be avoided for selected patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Local restaging after neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (nCRT) was performed in 270 patients with locally advanced (cT3or4 or N+) rectal cancer. Abdomen and pelvic computed ...

BACKGROUND We report a case of napsin A-positive metastatic lung cancer originating from the colon. No cases of napsin A-positive metastatic lung tumors originating from colorectal cancer have been reported previously. CASE PRESENTATION Computed tomography identified a small lung nodule in a 70-year-old male patient, 18 months after resection for rectal cancer. The size of the lung tumor incr...
