ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of juvenile rectal carcinoma in order to improve the diagnostic level and therapeutic efficacy at the early stage. Methods Clinical data, including clinical manifestations, misdiagnosis, clinical pathology, treatment, and prognosis, from 89 cases of juvenile rectal carcinoma were analyzed retrospectively and compared with those from 440 cases of senile rectal carcinoma. Results ① The main manifestations of juvenile rectal carcinoma included anal and rectal pains, abdominalgia, abdominal distention, and sacrococcygeal pain. ② In juvenile group, carcinomas with distance less than 9 cm and less than 7 cm away from the anal verge amounted to 92.13% and 69.66%, respectively (average distance: 5.43 cm). ③ The average period of misdiagnosis in juvenile group was 5.7 months with a misdiagnosis rate of 97.75%, significantly higher than that in senile group ( P
ABSTRACT
Objective To provide the theoretic basis for the clearance of the metastatic lymph nodes in radical operation of colorectal carcinoma(CRC) by means of exploring the relationship between mass size of both tumor and lymph nodes and the rate of lymph node metastasis. Methods A total of 702 lymph nodes from 57 cases of CRC radical operations were divided into 5 groups and each of the lymph nodes was examined. The size of lymph nodes, Dukes' phases, the pathological types of CRC and their metastasis rate were analyzed. Results ① High metastasis rate was found at Dukes' C and D phases of CRC, being 29.93% and 48.12%, respectively. ② The metastasis rates of mucous adenocarcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma were the highest of all pathological types, being 59 52% and 59.26%, respectively. ③ Metastasis rate of lymph nodes was not correlated with the mass size of tumor, but correlated with Dukes' phase. Conclusion ① Metastasis rate of lymph nodes increases with the growth and infiltration of tumor. ② Metastasis rates of mucous adenocarcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma are higher than those of well and mid differentiated carcinomas. ③ Metastasis may be suggested for lymph node of CRC more than 5 mm in diameter during operation. However, clearance of lymph node of CRC less than 5 mm in diameter needs further study.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship between the stromal angiogenesis and growth of the large intestinal carcinoma. Methods The vascular quantitative parameters(, , Sv, TA/BA) of the distal and proximal ends of the carcinoma, the center of the carcinoma, and the intestinal mucosa of distal and proximal ends of carcinoma were analyzed with computerized image. Differentiation degree of tumor cell was observed microscopically. Results Of the 48 cases studied, significant differences( P
