Synchronous Resection of Colon Adenocarcinoma and Bisegmentectomy of Liver Metastases

Abstract: Colorectal cancer is one of the main neoplasms worldwide; at the time of diagnosis about 25% of cases already have an advanced stage with the presence of metastases. A 58-year-old female presented with nausea, vomiting, and black stools and diffuse abdominal pain associated with 7% weight loss. She was referred to our hospital with signs of digestive tract bleeding and anemic syndrome. Panendoscopy revealed body and fundus gastropathy and presence of Helicobacter pylori, and colonoscopy showed a neoplastic les… Show more

“…The surgical approach of colorectal liver metastases has a lot of controversial points; for example, elderly patients were initially excluded from this possibility. However, liver resections are now routinely performed for patients in their 70s and 80s [ 15 , 16 ]. New surgical techniques, technology, and multidisciplinary teamwork allow surgeons to decide either a synchronous resection, which has shown very good results in selected cases [17] , or a staged resection.…”

“…In this clinical case, an open approach was performed due to the suspicion of perforation of the hollow viscus, and due to the location of both tumors, one on the proximal third of the ascending colon and the other on the splenic flexure, it was decided to perform an extended resection with total colectomy, due to the perforation in one of the tumors, the presence of intestinal material, and contamination of the abdominal cavity, it was decided to perform terminal ileostomy. The incidence of liver metastases in synchronous colon cancer is 11.8%; the possibility of performing resection of synchronous tumors and liver metastases has been described to improve the prognosis of the patients; however, in this clinical case, liver metastases were considered unresectable due to their location, depth, and abscesses presence [15, 20, 21].…”

“…Surgical treatment for liver and pulmonary metastases in selected mCRC patients may improve survival and prognosis. The five-year survival for mCRC patients with liver metastases who underwent surgical treatment reaches 58%, whereas the survival rate for mCRC patients with liver metastasis without surgical treatment ranges 20-24 months [18,19]. Pulmonary resection for metastases from CRC may improve survival in selected patients.…”
