Fernbach: [email protected], SUMMARY: Purpose: The present report was designed to evaluate how advanced colorectal neoplasm found at the moment of surgical treatment could represent a possible cause for high mortality rates. Main aim of this clinical study was to explore the current status of open surgery in the treatment of colorect...

Certain species of bacteria are known to be associated with colorectal cancer. We report a case of adenocarcinoma of the colon with bacteraemia and liver abscesses due to Streptococcus intermedius. The isolation of this organism should prompt investigation for colorectal neoplasm, which may be present but asymptomatic, without metastases, and therefore at a curative stage.

background: The reduced expression of CD10 may be related to unfavorable prognosis of patients with colorectal carcinoma. The authors analyzed the tissue immunostaining of CD10 protein in colorectal carcinoma and its relationship to clinicopathologic features. Method: In 130 patients submitted to colorectal carcinoma surgery, a tissue microarray block was obtained from the tumor and adjacent no...

The epidemiology of genitourinary cancer varies depend on the organ. Prostate cancer is the most common solid neoplasm in males (15%) and renal cell neoplasm involves since 3% of all adult cancers. Urothelial carcinomas are the fourth most common tumors, after prostate, breast (females), lung and colorectal cancer. In particular, bladder cancer is the 9th most common cancer diagnosis worldwide....

Colonic carcinogenesis is believed to be multifactorial process. In addition to hereditary and genetic factors, environmental factors such as Westernized dietary practice, smoking and alcohol consumption had also been contributed to increase the risk of colorectal cancer. 1 There has been growing interest in the relationship between infectious agents and colonic carcinogenesis. Especially, Heli...

Granular cell tumor (GCT) is a rare neoplasm that develops in the gut's submucosal layer. We report the case of a male with a history of surgically excised colon neoplasm where a rectal polyp was identified during a follow-up endoscopy. The lesion, eventually identified as a GCT, was endoscopically removed by band ligation-assisted mucosectomy. This may be the second report of a colorectal GCT ...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwidewith themajority of cases having no previous family history. Themost effectiveway to reducemortality is to detect precancerous adenoma in an early stage. Several screening methods are now available; however as each modality has its limitation there is no superb strategy so far to conquer cancer death with colorectal c...

Colorectal cancer is a common malignant neoplasm in adults, with a peak incidence of 60-79 years. About 1 million cases of the disease and half a million deaths associated with it are reported world-wide each year. Colorectal cancer, however, is very uncommon in children and adolescents. This is a presentation of 3 cases of colon cancer in Nigerians aged 17 and 19 years. Two of them were adenoc...

The most frequently occurring lesions in the colon are the hyperplastic polyps. Hyperplastic polyps have long been considered as lesions with no malignant potential and colonoscopy for these patients is not recommended. However, recent works suggest that hyperplastic polyps may represent precursor lesions of some sporadic colorectal cancers. Until now, no biomarker allows to identify the subset...
