INTRODUCTION Cancer of the colon and rectum 3 rd commonest after lung and stomach in male and breast and cervix in female Account for 10% of cancer in male,9.4 in females Worlwide incidence is 1.2million and half die of the disease
RISK FACTORS 90% of new cases >50 years Inflammatory b o wel Disease Personal or Family History of cancer or Polyps
INVESTIGATION Endoscopy and biopsy DCBE Endoluminal ultrasonography Abdominopelvic ultrasound CT
Phased array MRI CEA CBC, LFT, E/U, FBS, CXR
MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES Diagnostic work up & Pt assessment Staging Treatment plan Informed Consent
Bowel preparation Ostomy visit/stoma site marking Thromboprophylaxis Definitive Treatment

TX Cannot be assessed T0 No evidence Tis Carcinoma in situ T1 Invades submucosa T2 Invades muscularis propria T3 Invades into the subserosa or nonperitonealized pericolic or perirectal tissues T4 Invades other organs or structures, perforated visceral peritoneum Regional Lymph Nodes (N) NX Cannot be assessed N0 No regional lymph node metastasis N1 1 to 3 regional lymph nodes N2 4 or more regional lymph nodes Distant Metastasis (M) MX Cannot be assessed M0 No distant metastasis M1 Distant metastasis TNM
STAGE TREATMENT I Surgery II Favorable Surgery + Adjuvant chemotherapy III & II Unfavorable T 4 Poor histological grade Elevated CEA Microsatellite Stability DCC Obstruction or perforation Threatened circumferential margin Neoadjuvant chemoradiation + Surgery + Adjuvant chemotherapy (No radiotherapy for colon cancer) IV Chemotherapy ±Surgery ± metastasectomy CRC TREATMENT
SURGICAL PRINCIPLES Thorough abdominal exploration Appropriate Resection with clear margins± involved adjacent organ Lymphadenectomy Re-establishment of bowel continuity
RECTAL CANCER SURGERY Sphincter conservation takes precedence over APR Total Mesorectal Excision (TME) Pelvic Autonomic Nerve Preservation (PANP)
CRC SURGERY Growing influence of laparoscopic surgery Multiple Tumours & HNPCC: TP+IPAA/Subtotal Colectomy. Polyp Cancer Pedunculated: polypectomy Sessile/unfavorable features: surgery
SURGERY FOR ADVANCE CRC Palliative resection to relieve obstructions Stenting Bypass procedures Ileocolic anastomosis Colocolic ’’ Colostomy
SURGERY FOR LIVER METASTASIS Hepatic resection is the treatment of choice Feasibility of complete resection [12 weeks] Extrahepatic site must be resectable Primary tumour : Resection for cure Re-evaluation for resection after neoadjuvant Solitary tumour : better prognosis
CONCLUSION Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in both men and women. Tremendous strides are made regularly in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer, posing a challenge to the clinician who must stay abreast of the most recent advances
