Objectives: Peritoneal metastasis indicates a poor prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Studies have shown improved prognosis in patients after removal of peritoneal dissemination, and this surgery is recommended if not excessively invasive. The aim of this study was to examine clinical outcomes and prognostic factors for R0 resected CRC with synchronous peritoneal metastasis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFew studies have reported the simultaneous resection of synchronous rectal and prostate cancers. Here, we report five patients undergoing simultaneous robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) for synchronous rectal and prostate cancer. Rectal cancer operative procedures were high anterior (n =1), intersphincteric (n =2), or abdominoperineal (n =2) resection, followed by radical prostatectomy with vesico-urethral anastomosis.

Methods: CT images were comparatively analyzed in patients who underwent appendectomy and had histopathologically proved AD (n = 23) or AA (n = 365) to reveal specific findings of CT image for AD and determine sensitivity and specificity of CT for AD.
Purpose: A growing body of evidence suggests that right-sided colorectal cancer (RCRC) differs from left-sided colorectal cancer (LCRC) in certain clinicopathological features. Therefore, we investigated the difference between RCRC and LCRC in a series of 899 patients.
Methods: We reviewed data retrospectively, from 899 patients who underwent R0-resection for stage II and III CRC and compared the clinicopathological factors between patients with RCRC and LCRC.
