Colorectal cancer - statistics • Affects 150,000 new patients per year • Accounts 60,000 deaths annually • Peak incidence at 70-80 years
Layers of the large intestine • Mucosa • Submucosa • Muscularis externa • Serosa
Changes associated with aging • Decreased secretory mechanisms; • Decreased motility; • Loss of strength and tone of the muscular tissue; • Diminished response to pain and internal sensations
Colon cancer Risk factors • Diet • Alcohol consumption • Smoking • Hypovitaminosis • Genetics • Obesity
Colon Cancer Premalignant conditions and diagnoses: • Crohn’s disease • Non-specific ulcerative colitis • Polyps • Polyposis • Villous adenomas
Classification of colon cancer I External grow II Infiltrative grow III Mixed grow
Classification of colon cancer 1) adenocarcinoma 2) mucous adenocarcinoma 3) mucocellular carcinoma 4) non-differentiated cancer 5) non-classified cancer
Classification of rectal cancer 1) adenocarcinoma 2) mucous adenocarcinoma 3) mucocellular carcinoma 4) squamous cell carcinoma 5) glandular-squamous cell carcinoma 6) non-differentiated cancer 7) non-classified cancer
Classification of colorectal cancer TNM – system T1 - up to mucosa and submucosa T2 - up to muscular or serous layer T3 - outside of the bowel T4 – other organs are involved
Classification of colorectal cancer TNM-system N1 – lesions in regional nodules N4 – lesions in other nodules M0, M1, MX G1, G2, G3, GX
Classification of colon cancer Dukes system: Dukes A – tumor within the muscularis propria Dukes B – tumor invading the muscularis Dukes C – tumor with positive lymph nodes Dukes D - metastases
Clinical features of colon cancer • Vague abdominal pain • Rectal bleeding • Change in bowel habits • Systemic syndromes a) weakness b) malaise c) fatigue
Colorectal cancer I. Iron-deficiency anemia in an elderly male patient is colon cancer until proven otherwise II. Large bowel obstruction in all patients is colon cancer until proven otherwise
Clinical forms of colon cancer 1. Asymptomatic 2. Toxic 3. Enterocolitis -like 4. Dyspepsia -like 5. Pseudo inflammatory 6. Obstructive
Diagnostics of colon cancer • X-ray • Colonoscopy • Rectoscopy • Sygmoscopy • CEA –carcinoembryonic antigen • CT • MRI
Treatment of colon cancer Left-sided hemicolectomy Right-sided hemicolectomy Excision of the colon Excision of the sigmoid colon Colostomy
Treatment of rectal cancer Depends on the proximity to the anal verge Abdominoperineal resection (extirpation) Low anterior resection Wide local excision Sygmostomy
Treatment of colorectal cancer 1. Management of colon cancer depends on lymph node status 2. Colon cancers are resected even if metastatic
Screening • Digital rectum examination • Stool guaiac test • Flexible sigmoidoscopy • Colonoscopy
