Peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal cancer: novel clinical and molecular outcomes.
Abstract Background The objective of this study was to identify the prognostic impact of parameters in peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer. Methods We collected data from patients treated by cytoreductive surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for peritoneal carcinomatosis secondary to colorectal cancer. Results Ninety-one procedures were performed. In univariate analysis, an increased peritoneal cancer index was associated with decreased survival ( P P P = .01). The presence of a mucinous component was associated with a decreased of survival from 51.9 to 35.1 months ( P = .02). Conclusions Clinical factors were affecting the survival of patients. The absence of signet ring cells and mucinous component and the presence of microsatellite sequences instability may be favorable prognostic factors.
We describe a rare case of bilateral intralobar pulmonary sequestration in a newborn with both sequestrations vascularized from a vessel arising from the celiac trunk of the abdominal aorta. The larger sequestration on the right side was diagnosed antenatally, the left side postnatally. At the age of 7 months, the child underwent successful bilateral thoracotomy. In follow-up at the age of more than 1 year, no complications have occurred.
