Tumor Pathology and Long-Term Survival in Emergency Colorectal Cancer

Abstract

Advanced tumor pathology is a basis for poor long-term survival in emergency colorectal cancers.

Colon cancer surgery following emergency presentation: effects on admission and stage-adjusted outcomes

“…A second issue that makes the findings of previous work hard to interpret specifically for colon cancer is the lack of differentiation that all but 2 14,15 of the discussed articles make between colon and rectal disease -an issue shared with many publications on the matter. [19][20][21] Malignancies of the colon and rectum have been shown to be quite different in tumor biology 22 and subsequent prognosis 23 and arguments to split both are a recurring issue in outcome studies. 24 Our work is therefore the first to review a large cohort of colon cancer-specific patients in a single center.…”

The results of emergent curative surgery for the colorectal cancer; a single center experience of 52 patients

“…Also emergency admission are increases due to patient or health system related delay (9). Emergency surgery patients mostly have more complicated and advanced disease so higher complication rates, and longer hospital stay is seen in this group (10,11,12,13,14). In our study, emergency CRC surgery patients had longer operation time, higher blood loss; higher complication rates and longer average hospital stay than elective CRC surgery patients.…”

“…All patients who presented as an emergency had intestinal obstruction. Other larger studies have reported intestinal obstruction as the commonest (78 %) mode of emergency presentation [14,15]. Bleeding per rectum was the commonest symptom (42.8 %), which was followed by change of bowel habits (17.1 %) in those who presented to the out-patient clinic.…”
