Factors Associated with the Occurrence of Metastatic Dissemination in Rectal Cancer

Abstract

Introduction: The occurrence of metastases in rectal cancer disease is an additional important worrying factor not only in the patient but also in the surgeon due to their often fatal outcome. Up to 20% of patients with rectal cancer have metastatic patients rectal cancer was localized in the rectosigmoid part, in 4 patients in the proximal part of the rectum, in 2 patients with metastasis, rectal cancer was localized in the mid rectum and in 4 patients rectal cancer was in distal part of the rectum. Rectal cancer is spread malignant disease worldwide and it is third common malignancy after breast and lung cancer in woman and prostatic and lung cancer in male population. Occurrence of metastatic dissemination when primary rectal cancer has been diagnosed is not so rare condition but is very important to be aware of the factors that are associated with metastatic dissemination of rectal cancer. Knowing the possibility of dissemination can lead to increase the 5 years survival rate and decrease the percentage of incurability.
