Successful treatment of rectal cancer with perineal invasion: Three case reports

Abstract

Abstract. Rectal cancer occasionally invades adjacent organs. However, rectal cancer with perineal invasion is uncommon and difficult to treat. Locally advanced colorectal cancer may be clinically treated with neoadjuvant therapy, followed by en bloc resection. Skin invasion may lead to tumor dissemination via cutaneous blood flow and lymphatic routes. There is currently no firm evidence regarding the treatment of these significantly advanced rectal cancers. In this study, we report 3 cases of rectal cancer with perineal invasion, successfully managed by multimodality treatment. Case 1 is a 52-year-old man with rectal cancer that had invaded the perineum; case 2 is a 38-year-old man with rectal cancer infiltrating the perineal skin and liver metastasis; and case 3 is a 50-year-old woman with rectal cancer and perineal invasion. All the cases were treated with radical excision. No severe complications were observed in the perioperative period. Case 2, in particular, was confirmed to remain alive 5 years after the surgery. Our experience suggests that multimodality treatment, including extended radical surgery, may be a feasible approach to the treatment of rectal cancer with perineal skin invasion.

Prostate cancer featuring a unique progression pattern: A case of prominent direct perineal invasion without definite metastasis

“…Three cases featuring perineal invasion of rectal cancer in patients aged between 38 and 52 years have been reported; total pelvic exenteration was performed after chemotherapy and radiation therapy. 3 In some patients with PCa rectal invasions, total pelvic exenteration was performed to relieve pain. 4 This surgery was effective in 78.6% of patients, but all were younger than 80 years of age.…”

Successful treatment of rectal cancer complicated by bladder invasion, peritumorally abscess, and a fistula in the anterior abdominal wall (case report)

“…Стоит отметить, что это не единичный Colorectal КОЛОПРОКТОЛОГИЯ 4' 2018 К л и н и ч е с к о е н а б л ю д е н и е описанный случай успешного лечения пациента с наружным свищом; так, T. Kitahara и соавт. в серии клинических наблюдений 3 пациентов, у одного из которых имелся наружный кишечный свищ, описывали выполнение R0-резекции после пролонгированного курса ХЛТ [3]. Еще более успешных результатов добились B. el Benjelloun и соавт.…”
