Metastasis of a cecal adenocarcinoma to the prostate five years after a right hemicolectomy: a case report.

Introduction: Prostatic metastasis from a primary bowel adenocarcinoma has been only rarely reported in the medical literature. The case reported here is rare in the fact that the primary tumor was from a right-sided bowel adenocarcinoma. It is unusual because initial immunostaining was not fully conclusive, and so a relatively new method of immunostaining, CDX2, was used to ascertain its histopathology.

Ureteric embolization: an alternative treatment strategy for urinary fistulae complicating advanced pelvic malignancy.

Objective: To report experience with a minimally invasive technique for palliation of urinary fistula/incontinence complicating advanced pelvic malignancy or its treatment.

Patients And Methods: We used ureteric embolization with permanent nephrostomy drainage in eight renal units in five patients for palliation of symptoms. All procedures were done under local anaesthesia as day-case procedures.
