Study on ovarian metastasis from colorectal cancer.

The Validity of a New Edition of Classification for Ovarian Metastasis from Colorectal Cancer

“…The pathway of ovarian metastasis from CRC remains unclear even though there are some hypotheses of direct dissemination from the primary CRC and through the lymphatics or blood vessels. About the pathway, Fujiyoshi et al [10], Yamaguchi et al [11], and Sato et al [12] reported that lymphogeneous spread was important because many primary tumors contained lymphatic invasion shown in the histological examination. On the other hand, Graffner et al [13] and Brinkrant et al [14] suggested that hematogenous spread was important because of little flow between ovary and colon or rectum, and poor relationships between ovarian metastasis and regional lymphoid node metastasis.…”

“…As a primary lesion of metastatic ovarian tumors, the percentage of colorectal cancer is comparatively low (1.6-6.4%), but it has increased recently. 2,3 Some studies have reported that the five-year survival rate for ovarian metastasis from colorectal cancer ranged from 0% to 29.1%. [4][5][6] Ueda et al reported that the three-year survival rate was also low at 20%.…”

“…1 Although rare, the incidence of ovarian metastasis from colorectal cancer has increased recently with the increase in patients with colorectal cancer. 2,3 Some studies have reported that oophorectomy for ovarian metastasis from colorectal cancer should be performed since it seems to contribute to prolonged survival. On the other hand, palliative surgery is also performed to relieve the symptom such as abdominal distention caused by metastatic ovarian tumor.…”

“…Metastatic ovarian tumors account for 10%–15% of malignant ovarian tumors, and most of them originate from the cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, especially gastric cancer, or from breast cancer 1 . Although rare, the incidence of ovarian metastasis from colorectal cancer has increased recently with the increase in patients with colorectal cancer 2,3 . Some studies have reported that oophorectomy for ovarian metastasis from colorectal cancer should be performed since it seems to contribute to prolonged survival.…”
