Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) reflects the balance between pro- and anti-tumor immune activities. We evaluated whether NLR is associated with pathologic tumor response prognosis in rectal cancer patients that underwent preoperative chemoradiaton therapy (CRT) surgery. One hundred two were treated by CRT followed surgery enrolled. A total of 50.4 GY radiation 5-FU-based chemotherapy delivered. An ≥ 3 was considered to be elevated. Pathologic based on ypTNM stage categorized into groups,...
To evaluate factors affecting the use and delay ≥8 weeks of adjuvant chemotherapy impact on survival.Between 2005 2012, consecutive patients with stage II III colorectal cancer who were treated major curative resection enrolled.Among 750 (n = 318) 432) disease, 153 (20.4%) did not receive chemotherapy. Among 597 chemotherapy, 31 (5.2%) began 8 or more after surgery. Factors associated receiving were: age ≥80 years (hazard ratio [HR] 5.2), American Society Anesthesiologists score ≥3 (HR 1.9),...
In Brief Objective: This study was designed to determine whether the number of lymph nodes retrieved influence staging and survival in patients with stage II III rectal cancer that undergo tumor-specific mesorectal excision. Summary Background Data: The prognostic impact has been emphasized colorectal cancer, but few studies have focused on cancer. Methods: A total 900 who underwent excision curative intent adjuvant chemoradiation therapy for from January 1989 December 2006 were analyzed....
For many years, developmental and physiological differences have been known to exist between anatomic segments of the colorectum. Because different outcomes, prognoses, clinical responses chemotherapy, distinction right colon cancer (RCC) left (LCC) has gained attention. Furthermore, variations in molecular features gut microbiota LCCs recently a hot research topic. CpG island methylator phenotype-high, microsatellite instability-high colorectal cancers are more likely occur on side whereas...
Lateral pelvic lymph node (LPLN) metastases are an important cause of preventable local failure in rectal cancer. The aim this study was to evaluate clinical and oncological outcomes following magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-directed surgical selection for lateral dissection (LPLND) after total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT).A retrospective consecutive cohort analysis performed cancer patients with enlarged LPLN on pretreatment MRI. Patients were categorized as LPLND or non-LPLND. main...
Oxidative stress, characterized by an imbalance between the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants, plays a critical role in cancer progression. However, prognostic significance antioxidant markers colorectal (CRC) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate expression tumor tissues investigate their association with clinicopathological features, survival, systemic inflammation. We retrospectively analyzed 70 patients CRC who underwent curative surgical resection. The...
Abstract Background In patients undergoing total mesorectal excision (TME), the clinical variables most relevant to anastomotic recurrence have not been identified. We evaluated factors associated with in TME and impact of a reduced distal margin on recurrence. Methods Thirty‐eight were compared 876 who received curative rectal cancer surgery. Patients according to: (1) presence (recurrence vs. recurrence‐free), (2) length (≤10 mm >10 mm) (3) additional treatment (none, adjuvant, or...
Purpose Wound infection after an ileostomy reversal is a common problem. To reduce wound-related complications, purse-string skin closure was introduced as alternative to conventional linear closure. This study designed compare wound rates and operative outcomes between loop reversal. Methods Between December 2002 October 2010, total of 48 consecutive patients undergoing were enrolled. Outcomes compared (group L, n = 30) purse string P, 18). The technique for consisted elliptical incision...
There are still debates regarding the appropriate primary treatment policy for asymptomatic colorectal lesions in cases of unresectable metastatic cancer. Even though there patients with tumors when starting chemotherapy, those may undergo surgery due to complications related middle chemotherapy; therefore, controversy exists surgical resection where symptoms absent making a diagnosis. Thus, based on published literature, we discuss opinions that prefer first-line as well favoring...
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence American Society Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores on postoperative complication rates and total hospital charges following laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer. All patients (n = 664) underwent cancer surgery. A group with an ASA score 1 or 2 575) a 3 89) were compared. mean age higher in than (70 vs 67 years). rate ICU admission (27% 15%) group. stay (14 12 days) longer Postoperative 30-day complications (38% 27%), mortality (2%...
A rapid, precise method for identifying waterborne pathogens is critically needed effective disinfection and better treatment. However, conventional methods, such as culture-based counting, generally suffer from slow detection times low sensitivities. Here, we developed a rapid tracing by an innovative optofluidic platform, plasmonic bacteria on nanoporous mirror, that allows hydrodynamic cell trapping, enrichment of pathogens, optical signal amplifications. We designed simulated the...
BACKGROUND: Lateral pelvic lymph-node dissection is performed for selected patients with rectal cancer persistent lateral nodal disease after neoadjuvant therapy. This technique has been slow to be adopted in the West due concerns regarding technical difficulty. first report on learning curve lymph node US or Europe. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was analyze associated robotic dissection. DESIGN: Retrospective observational cohort. SETTING: Tertiary academic center. PATIENTS: Consecutive...
