Etiology Of Colon Cancer
Hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer
5-6%
Sporadic Colon Cancer
92%
Chronic IBD 1%
Familial Adenomatous polyposis
and rare syndromes

Cancer colon and rectum (Etiology)
 Diet
– Diet lacking vegetables
– Low residue diet---increase constipation
– High fiber diet----increase bile--carcinogens
– Cooked meat -----carcinogens
 Precancerous
lesions
– Polyps--- tubuls, villous, FAP
– IBD
– Uretrocolic anastomsis
Familial Adenomatous Polyposis
(FAP)
 Autosomal
dominant inheritance of
mutated APC gene in chromosome 5
 Hundreds to thousands of colorectal
adenomas, average age of onset 16
 Colon cancer by age 45 (mean age
39, &% by age 21)
Familial Adenomatous Polyposis
(FAP)
 Genetic
tests, counseling age 10 to
12
 Flexible sigmoidoscopy
– annually or biannually for positive
genetic test
 Colectomy
when adenomas develop
Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal
Cancer Syndrome (HNPCC)
 Autosomal
dominant inheritance of
altered mismatch repair gene
 Cancers preceded by a few rapidly
growing adenomas
 Cancers multiple, proximal, younger
age of onset

Stage 0 Colorectal Cancer


Known as “cancer
in situ,” meaning
the cancer is
located in the
mucosa
Removal of the
polyp
(polypectomy) is
the usual
treatment
Stage I Colorectal Cancer
cancer has
grown
through
mucosa
and
invaded
the
muscularis
(muscular
coat)
Treatment is
surgery to
remove the
tumor and some
surrounding
lymph nodes
Stage I Colorectal Cancer
Stage II Colorectal Cancer
The cancer has
grown beyond
the muscularis of
the colon or
rectum but has
not spread to the
lymph nodes
Stage II Colorectal Cancer
Stage III Colorectal Cancer
The cancer has spread
to the regional lymph
nodes (lymph nodes
near the colon and
rectum)
Stage III Colorectal Cancer
Stage IV Colorectal Cancer
The cancer has spread
outside of the colon or
rectum to other areas of
the body
Stage IV Colorectal Cancer
Stage IV Colorectal Cancer
Stage IV Colorectal Cancer
Methods of spread

Intramural spread
– Spread is three-dimensional;
 the
distal margin is of great concern in low rectal
cancers (2-3 cm are considered enough)
 Extension to adjacent structures

Lymphatic spread

Methods of spread
 Hematogenous
spread
– Predominantly to the liver
– The lung is the second affected organ
 Transperitoneal
spread
– Seedlings
– malignant ascites
– omental deposits
– Specially occurring in mucinous cancer
and is beyond surgical cure.
Clinical picture of cancer
Colon & Rectum
Alteration in bowel habit
Sever form mainly
constipation
Alteration in bowel habit in
the form of mild diarrhea
Anemia, which is quite severe
Intestinal obstruction is late
A mass
felt in advanced cases
Complication of
Acute appendicitis
Intussussption
Perforation
hge
Vague upper
abdominal pain
Intestinal obstruction
early
A mass
felt in early cases
Complication of
Perforation
hge
1- Rectal bleeding most frequent
presentation.
2-Sense of incomplete
evacuation
3-Tenesmus is prominent in
rectal cancer
4- Recent alteration in bowel
habit (increasing constipation
alternating with diarrhea or
spurious morning diarrhea
Signs
Cancer colon
 General
– Anaemia & loss of
weight
– Virchow’s LN
– Oedema of LL
 Abdominal
– Abdominal Mass
– Liver mass
– Ascites
– PR & PV
 Krukenberg
 Plummer’s shelf
Cancer Rectum
 General
– Anaemia & loss
of weight
– Lung metastases
 Abdominal
– Liver mass
– Ascites
– PR
Mass in the
rectum 90 %
of cases
Investigations

Laboratory
–
–
–
–
Liver function
CBC anaemia
Stool for occult blood
Tumor markers (CEA
&Ca19)
Investigations

Radiological
–

–

Proctosigmoidoscopy
–

Chest x ray or CT
Double contrast barium enema
Ultrasonography for the liver and LN
CT or MRI which will more accurately
delineate the LN and perirectal fat
Diagnose almost 50% of the cases
Colonoscopy
–
It is the gold standard
Rectal cancer

General Rules (1)
Preoperative preparation
 Rapid method
–Polyethylene glycol can be drunk or
given through NG Tube 2-3 liters
over 24 hours
–Alternatively (in urgent cases) on
table lavage using appendix stump
as a portal of entry can be very
effective
General Rules (2)
Radical resection
 Any
surgical resection requires 5 cm
proximal and 2 cm distal clearance
for colonic lesions
 Radial margin should be
histopathologically free of tumor if
possible
 Lymph node resection should be
performed to the origin of the
feeding vessel
