Impact of Small Tumor Size on Prognosis in T3N1 Colon Cancer.

Background: Traditionally, large tumor size is associated with poor survival in colon cancer, but its impact remains limited and controversial. Recently, the impact of small tumor size on prognosis has gained attention. This study aimed to investigate whether small tumor size can be an additional parameter for T3N1 colon cancer prognosis.

[A Case of Pyoderma Gangrenosum Associated with Metastatic Breast Cancer-A Case Report].

Pyoderma gangrenosum(PG)is a rare skin disorder and its diagnosis is often delayed owing to its wound infection mimicking course. A 50-year-old woman presented to our hospital with multiple liver and bone metastases from breast cancer. A port was created on her right upper arm to administer chemotherapy.

Short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with D3 resection for right colon cancer in elderly patients.

Background: Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (RHC) with D3 resection, similar to complete mesocolic excision, is an oncologically satisfying procedure; however, it remains controversial in elderly patients. There are no reports of the procedure for tumors fed by middle colic vessels because it is a difficult procedure. We evaluated the feasibility and oncological outcomes of the procedure in elderly patients.

Rare recurrence pattern after complete response to chemotherapy in a patient with rectal cancer: a case report.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) often metastasizes to the liver, lungs, lymph nodes, and peritoneum but rarely to the bladder, small intestine, and skin. We here report the rare metastasis of anal cancer in the left bladder wall, followed by metastases to the small intestine and skin, after abdominoperineal resection and left lateral lymph node dissection with chemotherapy in a patient with clinician Stage IVa disease.

Case Presentation: A 66-year-old man presented with 1-month history of bloody stool and anal pain and diagnosed with clinical Stage IVa anal cancer with lymph node and liver metastases (cT3, N3 [#263L], M1a [H1]).
