Surgical Decision-Making in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis
Clin Colon Rectal Surg. 2023 Aug 10;37(3):191-197. doi: 10.1055/s-0043-1770732. eCollection 2024 May.ABSTRACTFamilial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant disorder affecting patients with germline mutations of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumor suppressor gene. The surgical treatment of colorectal disease in FAP, which has the goal of colorectal cancer prevention, varies based on both patient and disease factors but can include the following: total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis, proctocolectomy with stapled or hand-sewn ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, or total proctocolectomy with end ileostom...

Microenvironment-induced restoration of cohesive growth associated with focal activation of P-cadherin expression in lobular breast carcinoma metastatic to the colon
J Pathol Clin Res. 2024 Mar;10(2):e12361. doi: 10.1002/2056-4538.12361.ABSTRACTInvasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is a special breast cancer type characterized by noncohesive growth and E-cadherin loss. Focal activation of P-cadherin expression in tumor cells that are deficient for E-cadherin occurs in a subset of ILCs. Switching from an E-cadherin deficient to P-cadherin proficient status (EPS) partially restores cell-cell adhesion leading to the formation of cohesive tubular elements. It is unknown what conditions control EPS. Here, we report on EPS in ILC metastases in the large bowel. We reviewed endoscopic colon biopsie...

The use of chemopreventive agents as an adjunct to these measures has long been studied both in the general population and in hereditary cancer patients, in whom the risk of malignancy, and therefore the potential risk reduction, is considerably greater. However, to date only few compounds have been found to be effective, safe, and tolerable ...

Neoadjuvant immunotherapy in a locally advanced colon cancer patient with MSI-H and suspected Lynch syndrome: A case report
We present the case of a 46-year-old male who sought medical attention at our institution due to a history of hematochezia for two weeks, right-sided abdominal pain for one week, and loose stools. Imaging indicated duodenal involvement, and a biopsy confirmed ascending colon adenocarcinoma with MSI-H status. Given that the patient's family exhibited a history of more than three confirmed cases of colorectal cancer spanning two generations, Lynch syndrome was considered. After four cycles of PD-1 antagonist immunotherapy with carrilizumab, the patient's symptoms resolved, and physical examination revealed no abdominal tende...

Laparoscopic right colectomy: correct technique based on key anatomical principles
Minim Invasive Ther Allied Technol. 2024 Apr 8:1-13. doi: 10.1080/13645706.2024.2332880. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSince the early1990s, laparoscopic right colon resections have been the most performed advanced laparoscopic procedures just after laparoscopic left colectomies and sigmoid resections. Indications for laparoscopic right colectomies are either benign or malignant diseases. Despite its many indications, a laparoscopic right or extended right colectomy is mostly performed for cancer of the caecum, the ascending colon, the hepatic flexure or the proximal transverse colon. Worldwide, colorectal cancer is the th...
