Abstract
Background: Extramural vascular invasion (EMVI) is a bad prognostic feature in rectal cancer and cancers that remain EMVI positive after neoadjuvant therapy are at high risk for having involved circumferential resection margins. Conventional total mesorectal excision (TME) resections are inadequate in such cases and often lead to positive margins.
Methods: We propose a technique for the surgical management of locally advanced tumours with persistent EMVI after neoadjuvant therapy. Ten such tumours were resected using a "beyond TME" (b-TME) approach with or without lateral pelvic lymph node dissection or seminal vesical excision.
Results: A b-TME approach, customized to the anatomy of the tumour allowed for an R0 resection with a negative circumferential resection margin (CRM) in all 10 cases.
Conclusion: A tailored b-TME approach can achieve good results in cases at high risk for CRM involvement.
期刊介绍:
Diseases of the colon and rectum are common and offer a number of exciting challenges. Clinical, diagnostic and basic science research is expanding rapidly. There is increasing demand from purchasers of health care and patients for clinicians to keep abreast of the latest research and developments, and to translate these into routine practice. Technological advances in diagnosis, surgical technique, new pharmaceuticals, molecular genetics and other basic sciences have transformed many aspects of how these diseases are managed. Such progress will accelerate.
Colorectal Disease offers a real benefit to subscribers and authors. It is first and foremost a vehicle for publishing original research relating to the demanding, rapidly expanding field of colorectal diseases.
Essential for surgeons, pathologists, oncologists, gastroenterologists and health professionals caring for patients with a disease of the lower GI tract, Colorectal Disease furthers education and inter-professional development by including regular review articles and discussions of current controversies.
Note that the journal does not usually accept paediatric surgical papers.
