Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection is increasingly used to treat early-stage colorectal cancer. This study evaluated the feasibility of endoscopic submucosal dissection in this setting and the determinants of lymph node metastasis.
Methods: We reviewed patients who underwent colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection for early-stage colorectal cancer at a tertiary center between 2011 and 2023.
Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is increasingly being adopted for the treatment of early-stage colorectal cancer (CRC) lesions.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with early-stage CRC treated between 2015 and 2023, using ESD and colectomy databases, categorizing them into three groups: ESD only (n = 24), oncological colorectal resection (OCR) only (n = 90), and OCR after ESD (n = 59). We compared pathological and oncological outcomes among these groups.
Background: Current American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging for colorectal cancer utilizes TNM framework groups disease based on extent and provides prognostic information, ideally with a hierarchical logic. We sought to evaluate survival as a function of stage within the 8 edition AJCC staging system for colon and rectal cancer.
Methods: Patients with primary colon or rectal cancer diagnosed 2010-2016 were identified from the National Cancer Database (NCDB).
Introduction: Early urinary catheter removal has been incorporated into Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways to aid faster recovery and minimize urinary tract infection. However, early catheter removal can result in urinary retention, which may lead to catheter reinsertion and a prolonged hospital stay. Tamsulosin, an alpha-blocking medication, effectively treats urinary retention in both men and women.
