ABSTRACT

Aproximadamente hasta 30 % de todos los pacientes con cáncer de colon, intervenidos con intención curativa, presentarán enfermedad recurrente, la cual puede provocar la muerte o motivar nuevos tratamientos con alto grado de morbilidad, sin que se haya logrado definir un modelo efectivo sobre la conducta a seguir, habida cuenta que aún no existen criterios uniformes con respecto a su prevención, tratamiento y seguimiento posoperatorio luego de la cirugía inicial, por cuanto se desconocen las posibilidades reales de supervivencia y las causas asociadas a la mortalidad. Sobre la base de tales reflexiones, se revisó la bibliografía pertinente sobre algunas cuestiones elementales al respect.


Approximately up to a 30% of patients with colon cancer, surgically treated with healing aims, will have a recurrent disease, which can cause death or motivate new treatments with high morbidity degree, without achieving yet a definite and effective model on the behaviour to be followed, taking into account that there are no uniform approaches with regard to its prevention, treatment and postoperative follow-up after the initial surgery, so that the real possibilities of survival and the causes associated with mortality are ignored. On the basis of such conclusions, the pertinent literature was reviewed on some elementary questions in this respect.

ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y observacional de 37 pacientes operados de cáncer de colon, con intención curativa, y que presentaron recurrencia tumoral, atendidos en el Hospital Clinicoquirúrgico Docente "Saturnino Lora Torres", de Santiago de Cuba, durante el período 2006-2012, con vistas a identificar algunos aspectos relevantes relacionados con el diagnóstico del cáncer de colon recurrente. Predominaron las mujeres mayores de 65 años, el tumor primario en el colon ascendente, con estadificación posoperatoria III y II, la recurrencia locorregional, así como el tumor palpable como forma de presentación. El método clínico, la ecografía y la radiografía por enema fueron determinantes para el diagnóstico. Se concluye que durante los primeros 2 años del seguimiento posoperatorio deben agotarse todos los medios para el diagnóstico precoz de dicha recurrencia, independientemente de su localización.


A descriptive and observational study of 37 operated patients due to colon cancer, with healing purposes, and who presented tumorous recurrences, assisted in "Saturnino Lora Torres" Teaching Clinical Surgical Hospital, in Santiago de Cuba was carried out during the period 2006-2012, with the objective of identifying some outstanding aspects related to the diagnosis of recurrent colon cancer. Women older than 65 years, the primary tumour in the ascending colon, with postoperative staging III and II, the locorregional recurrence, as well as the palpable tumour as presentation form prevailed. The clinical method, the echography and the x-ray for enema were decisive for the diagnosis. It is concluded that during the first 2 years of the postoperative follow-up all means should be used for the early diagnosis of this recurrence, independently from its localization.

ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de 37 pacientes operados de cáncer de colon con intención curativa y que presentaron recurrencia tumoral, atendidos en el Hospital Provincial Docente Clinicoquirúrgico "Saturnino Lora Torres", de Santiago de Cuba, durante el período 2006-2012, con vistas a identificar los factores asociados al intervalo libre de enfermedad luego de la cirugía inicial. En la casuística predominaron los afectados mayores de 65 años, del sexo femenino; el tumor primario localizado en el colon derecho con estadificación posoperatoria III y II, la recurrencia locorregional como la de mayor frecuencia y el tumor palpable como el más común. El método clínico, la ecografía y la radiografía de colon por enema fueron determinantes para el diagnóstico. El tratamiento exerético del cáncer de colon asociado a la quimioterapia adyuvante garantizó un intervalo libre de enfermedad más prolongado, si bien el diagnóstico de la recurrencia se correspondió con la detección temprana durante el período posoperatorio, la cirugía fue esencialmente paliativa.


A descriptive study of 37 operated patients of colon cancer with healing intention and who presented tumoral recurrence, assisted in "Saturnino Lora Torres" Teaching Clinical Surgical Provincial Hospital, in Santiago de Cuba was carried out during the period 2006-2012, aimed at identifying the factors associated with the interval free of disease after the initial surgery. The affected patients older than 65 years, female sex; a primary tumour located in the right colon with postoperative stage III and II, local-regional recurrence as that of greater frequency and a palpable tumour as the most common, prevailed in the case material. The clinical method, echography and colon x-ray for enema were decisive for the diagnosis. The exeresis of the colon cancer associated with the adjuvant chemotherapy guaranteed a longer interval free of disease, although the diagnosis of recurrence was in correspondence with the early detection during the postoperative period, the surgery was essentially palliative.

ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, longitudinal y retrospectivo de 68 pacientes con cáncer de colon recurrente, que acudieron a consulta de seguimiento por esta causa en el Hospital Provincial Docente Clinicoquirúrgico Saturnino Lora de Santiago de Cuba, desde enero de 1990 hasta diciembre de 2005. Se obtuvo que esa neoplasia fue generalmente diagnosticada en etapas avanzadas de la enfermedad y que los 2 primeros años de seguimiento resultaron decisivos para el diagnóstico de la recurrencia, el cual suele establecerse de forma tardía, de manera que el tratamiento debe ser paliativo en la mayoría de los afectados.


A descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study of 68 patients with recurrent colon cancer who attended their follow-up visits due to this cause was carried out in the Saturnino Lora Teaching Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, from January, 1990 to December, 2005. It was obtained that this neoplasia was generally diagnosed in advanced stages of the disease and that the first 2 years of follow up were decisive for the diagnosis of the recurrence, which may usually be reached in a late stage, so that the treatment should be palliative in most of those affected.
