Synchronous cancers of the colon and rectum
Journal Title: Human & Veterinary Medicine - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: we want to evaluate the cases with synchronous malignant tumors of the colon and rectum among the patients admitted in our hospital between 2005-2012. Material and Methods: there is a retrospective study of 20 cases diagnosed with multiple malignant tumors of the large bowel and rectum, collected from the patients observational datas. Results: 6 of these patients died in this period, but the others are still alive and in a good condition. Conclusion: in some sites the cancer has a better survival rate because of an earlier diagnosis, some of these patients develop synchronous or metachronous malignant lesions and in such cases is needed an agressive approach. There is still a small number of multiple malignant synchronous lesions, usually met with a colorectal localisation, discovered when we investigate the entire large bowel and rectum and not only a small portion of them. A synchronous malignant lesion associated with colorectal cancer can be discovered if the lesion has symptoms or when we perform CT scan, or MRI or another imagistic method which permit the diagnosis. Also, it is important not only for metachronous lesions but for synchronous lesions not diagnosed with the first tumor, an appropriate control of the patients postoperatively, giving the patient a chance of cure.
