12 Types of Malignancies of Colon & Rectal Cancer 1. Adenocarcinoma 2. Carcinoid tumor 3. GIST (Gastrointestinal stromal tumor) 4. Lymphoma 5. Sarcoma
13 Colon & Rectal Adenocarcinoma (American Cancer Society) 1. Third most common cancer diagnosed in both genders. 2. Lifetime risks (4.7% - Male, 4.4% Female) estimated new cases: colon, rectal estimated deaths: Death rate (deaths/100,000 people) have been decreasing steadily.
14 The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program of the National Cancer Institute
15 Prevention and Early Detection of Colon and Rectal Cancer 1. Lifestyle modification/changes 2. Vitamin supplements, Calcium, ASA/NSAIDs 3. Screening gfobt (Guaiac-based fecal occult blood test) FIT (fecal immunochemical test), Stool DNA Colonoscopy CT colonography, Barium enema
16 Ideally most if not all colon & rectal cancer should be preventable with screening. For the patient with the unfortunate diagnosis of colon & rectal cancer: All is not lost. Surgery remains the mainstay therapy and can be accomplished with acceptable risks for the patient. If indicated addition of adjuvant chemotherapy with or without radiation can significantly improve overall survival.
17 Preoperative Evaluation 1. History and Physical 2. Colonoscopy report (Pathology report if available) 3. Blood tests (including CEA level) 4. Radiographic studies CT scan, CXR Endorectal ultrasound MRI PET/CT scan

28 Potential Complications of Colectomy Hemorrhage Deep venous thrombosis, Pulmonary embolism Anesthesia complications. Damage to adjacent structures Wound complications.
29 Postoperative Management following Colectomy Review the final Pathology report. No adjuvant chemotherapy generally recommended for Stage I and Stage II disease. Adjuvant chemotherapy can be recommended for certain Stage II disease. Adjuvant chemotherapy recommended for all Stage III disease if possible. Generally palliative therapy for Stage IV disease.
30 Rectal Cancer Surgeries Preoperative neoadjuvant therapy for Stage II and Stage III disease. Abdominoperineal resection Low anterior resection Complete proctectomy with coloanal anastomosis (with ileostomy) Total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis (with ileostomy) Transanal excision, TEM, TAMIS Pelvic exenteration

36 Postoperative Management following Rectal Cancer Surgery Review the final Pathology report. No neoadjuvant therapy recommended for Stage I disease. Preoperative neoadjuvant therapy and postoperative chemotherapy recommended for Stage II and Stage III disease. Treatment for Stage IV and recurrent disease need to be individualized for each patient (Generally palliative therapy).

38 Summary and Conclusion Prevention of colon & rectal cancer is most effective with dedicated screening programs and is most responsible for decreasing death rate. For those patients unfortunately diagnosed with colon & rectal cancer, early detection combined with expedient treatment, both with surgery and adjuvant therapy, will improve overall survival. Current perioperative management will allow patients to undergo successful surgery with acceptable operative risks. Although the advent of newer minimally invasive technology has the potential to possibly reduce operative risks/complications, survival benefit has not been seen.
39 MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE CARE FOR THE COLON & RECTAL CANCER PATIENT MUST BE A TOTAL TEAM EFFORT.
