[Long-Term Survival of a Case with Peritoneal Dissemination from Appendiceal Goblet Cell Carcinoid Treated with Systemic Chemotherapy].

A 64-year-old man complained of lower abdominal pain and vomiting. The CT scan showed adhesional ileus; therefore, small bowel resection procedure was performed. Histological findings showed signet-ring cell carcinoma and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma.

[Laparoscopic Abdominoperineal Resection after Preoperative Chemoradiotherapy for Adenocarcinoma Associated with Anal Fistula].

A 72-year-old man had a chief complaint of anal pain and difficulty in defecation. He was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma by biopsy from a tumor of the anal canal. A computed tomography scan revealed neither regional lymph node metastasis nor distant metastasis.

[A Case of High-Frequency Microsatellite Instability in Colorectal Cancer with MSH2 Mutation Detected Using Gene Panel Testing with a Next-Generation Sequencer].

Here, we report about a woman in her 30s who had peritoneal dissemination and multiple colon cancer with high-frequency microsatellite instability(MSI-H). Her father, paternal grandfather, and maternal grandmother had a history of colorectal cancer treatment. Thus, Lynch syndrome was suspected.

Verification of the Japanese staging system for rectal cancer, focusing on differences with the TNM classification.

Purpose: The 9th Japanese Classification of Colorectal Cancer (9th JSCCR) has two main differences from the TNM classification (8th AJCC): first, main or lateral lymph node metastasis is classified as jN3; second, tumor nodules (ND) are treated as lymph node metastasis. In this study, we verified the 9th JSCCR for rectal cancer, focusing on the differences with the 8th AJCC.

Methods: This retrospective analysis involved 212 patients with stage I-III rectal cancer.

[A Case of Long-Term Survival after Resection for Metachronous Liver and Lung Metastases of Rectal Cancer Associated with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis].

A 37-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for the treatment of familial adenomatous polyposis and rectal carcinoma. He underwent total colectomy with ileoanal anastomosis(pT3N1M0, pStage Ⅲa)followed by adjuvant therapy with S-1. Three months after primary surgery, CT and MRIrevealed liver metastases(S5, S6).
