Objective To analyze clinicopathological features of synchronous colorectal carcinoma. Methods Data of colorectal cancer patients admitted to our hospital from June 1994 to December 2003 were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were divided into multiple synchronous colorectal carcinoma group ( MCG) and single colorectal cancer group ( SCG). Clinicopathological features and prognosis were compared between the two groups. SPSS 10. 0 was used for data analysis. Results Of all colorectal cancer(CRC) patients,3. 2 % (39/1225) had multiple synchronous CRCs and 939 patients had sporadic single CRC. In MCG, two patients had hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer ( HNPCC) syndrome. No significant differences were found between MCG and SCG with regard to demographic features, Dukes stage and differentiation of index CRC. More patients in MCG had metachronous CRC (x2 = 4. 545, P= 0.033) and colorectal polyps ( x2 = 12. 013, P = 0.001) compared with SCG. Forty-six percent of multiple synchronous CRCs located in right colon in MCG, which was higher than that in SCG ( x2 = 25. 757 ,P = 0. 0001). Malignancy in adenoma was the frequent event accompanying cancer in MCG. Five-year survival rate in MCG was 57% compared with 64% in SCG ( x2 =0.084, P = 0.772 ). Conclusion Patients with right colon cancer seem easily to have multiple synchronous CRCs and malignancy in adenoma is most frequently accompanying the cancer. For patients with multiple synchronous CRCs, the prognosis is equivalent to that of patients with SCG.

Objective To evaluate J-pouch coloanal anastomosis after low anterior resection for the middle and low rectal carcinoma. Methods From January 1998 to July 2002, 120 patients undergoing low anterior radical resection for the middle or low rectal carcinomas were divided into groups of coloanal anastomosis and that of 5 cm colonic J-pouch-anal anastomosis. WT5”HZResults These two groups were well matched for gender, age and histologic stage. There were no significant differences in operative time, hospital stay, complications, postoperative recurrence rate and postoperative survival time between the two groups as founded by an average follow-up of 18 months. The mean distance from the inferior edge of the tumor to the dentate line was (3 6?1 5) cm in the J-pouch group, significantly less than that in coloanal anastomosis group of (5 2?1 9) cm, ( P =0 000). Defecation frequency, urgency and incontinence were significantly improved at 3 months and 12 months after operation in the J-pouch group ( P 0 05). Conclusion J-pouch coloanal anastomosis after low anterior resection for the middle and low rectal carcinoma significantly improves the short-term bowel function after operation.

Objective To study the effect of operative modalities on the prognosis of gastric carcinoma patients suffering from various types of intra-abdominal metastasis. Methods In this study, 150 cases of gastric cancer with abdominal metastasis screened from data base, were divided by the location into peritoneal dissemination group (n=106), hepatic metastasis group (n=19) and both peritoneal dissemination and hepatic metastasis group (n=25). The surgical interventions include total resection, palliative resection and no resection. The clinicopathological parameters and prognosis were analyzed. Results The total tumor resection rate in peritoneal dissemination group (48.1%) and hepatic metastasis group (63.2%) was significantly higher than that in both peritoneal and hepatic metastasis group (20.0%), with the mean survival time (months) being 31.1, 12.8, 9.7 respectively (P<0.05). In peritoneal group, the mean survival (months) for tumor total resection, palliative and no resection subgroup was 46.3,1.7,4.8 respectively (P<0.05), whereas in hepatic metastasis group, the mean survival (months) was 17.2,4.0,5.4 respectively (P<0.05), in both peritoneal and hepatic metastasis group, the mean survival (months) was 11.2,8.9,5.0 respectively (P>0.05). Lymph nodes resection significantly prolonged survival in peritoneal dissemination group. Conclusions The prognosis of gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination is better than with hepatic metastasis. Tumor total resection and lymph node dissection significantly improve the survival of patients suffering from peritoneal or hepatic dissemination.
