Purpose: To better understand immigration disparities among a Spanish Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer (SECOC) subset, according to the country of origin.
Patients And Methods: We selected 250 consecutive participants from the SECOC consortium. Data on baseline patient and tumor characteristics, family history of colorectal cancer (CRC), and follow-up were collected.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the occurrence of metachronous colorectal cancer in patients diagnosed with early-onset colorectal cancer (under 50 years old), finding an overall incidence of 2.6%.
- - It highlights that patients with Lynch syndrome have a significantly higher incidence of metachronous colorectal cancer at 18.43%, while those with a family history have a rate of 10.52%.
- - The findings suggest that although early-onset colorectal cancer patients have a similar risk as older patients, specific genetic and familial factors significantly increase their risk, indicating the need for personalized management strategies.
Background: Perianal fistulas may affect 15% to 50% of patients with Crohn's disease. Treatment is complex, requiring a multidisciplinary approach. Darvadstrocel (allogenic mesenchymal cells obtained from lipoaspirates) was approved in 2018 by the European and Spanish Agencies of Medicines and Medical Products as a treatment for fistulas in Crohn's disease.

- The text discusses two surgical techniques, Deloyers procedure and retro-ileal colorectal anastomosis, that are suitable for patients needing colorectal surgery without causing tension in the colon.
- It highlights the practicality of performing these techniques, sharing outcomes from 19 patients where surgeries were successful, although some faced complications.
- The conclusion notes that while both methods are effective and can be minimally invasive, they carry risks of postoperative complications, emphasizing the need for careful patient management and communication of potential risks.
