Dis Colon Rectum
February 2025
Department of Colorectal Surgery, Digestive Disease and Surgery Institute, Cleveland Clinic, Ohio.
Background: Patients with Crohn's disease face an elevated risk of colorectal cancer, in part due to underlying chronic inflammation. Biologic therapy is the mainstay of medical treatment; however, the impact of treatment on colorectal cancer-related outcomes remains unclear.
Objective: To investigate the association between prior exposure to biologic treatment and colorectal cancer-related outcomes in patients with underlying Crohn's disease.

Department of General Surgery, Jinling Medical School of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China.
Background: Even in the biological era, permanent stoma is not uncommon in patients with Crohn's Disease.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors of permanent stoma in Crohn's disease patients and provide clinical evidence for reducing this disabling outcome.
Design: Consecutive patients with Crohn's disease who underwent ostomies in the past decade were reviewed.

Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. In China, the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer are increasing, in which low rectal cancer is more common. Ultra-low rectal cancer refers to rectal cancer where the distance between the tumor and the anus is less than 5 cm, it accounts for about 70%-80% of rectal tumors.

Since the adoption of neoadjuvant chemoradiation and total mesorectal excision as the standard in rectal cancer care, there has been marked improvement in the local recurrence rates. In this context, restaging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a key role in the assessment of tumor response, occasionally enabling organ-sparing approaches. However, the role of restaging MRI in evaluating lateral lymph nodes remains limited.

Metastatic lateral pelvic lymph node (LPN) in rectal cancer has a significant clinical impact on the prognosis and treatment strategies. But there are still debates regarding prediction of lateral pelvic lymph node metastasis and its oncological impact. This review explores the evidence for predicting lateral pelvic lymph node metastasis and survival in locally advanced rectal cancer.
