Colonic metastasis from ovarian cancer is extremely rare, with only seven reported cases. A 77-year-old woman who had previously undergone surgery for ovarian cancer was admitted to a local hospital with anal bleeding. Histopathological analysis confirmed the presence of adenocarcinoma. Colonoscopy revealed a descending colon tumor. The patient was diagnosed with Union for International Cancer Control T3N0M0 descending colon cancer or colon metastasis of the ovarian cancer. Laparoscopic left colectomy was performed; intraoperative frozen section diagnosis confirmed metastasis from ovarian cancer, and the absence of invasion to the serosal surface suggested hematogenous metastasis. This is the first case of colonic metastasis from ovarian cancer that was diagnosed using an intraoperative frozen section and laparoscopically treated.
e15625 Background: We previously reported that based on CT images at the 3rd lumbar vertebra, female patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) were more likely to be sarcopenic than male patients after curative resection, and predisposed to develop early dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) in adjuvant CAPOX therapy. Although oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy for CRC is prevalently used worldwide, it is largely unknown how the treatment affects patients in terms of sarcopenia. Therefore we conducted a prospectively study on the impact of adjuvant chemotherapy on multifactorial components assessed for sarcopenia. Methods: We examined stage II-III CRC patients who received adjuvant CAPOX after curative surgery after March 2022. Informed consent was obtained from all participants. During this systemic therapy, we assessed nutritional status using Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA, an 18-item questionnaire consisting of psychological well-being, diet quality, physical activity and anthropometric metrics; score range:0-30), and examined gait speed and grip strength, as well as whole body skeletal muscle mass, fat mass, and bone mineral using a body composition analyzer. The changes in these metrics were analyzed in association with dose reduction/adverse events of CAPOX. All continuous variables were tested by Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Results: Eighteen men and 13 women (mean age: 61 years old) were included in this study. Seven (39%) male and seven (54%) female patients required dose reduction within the four treatment cycles (p = 0.65). The median MNA, gait speed, grip, muscle mass, fat mass and bone mineral at the first and fourth cycles of CAPOX in men were 20.4 and 24.0, 1.10 and 1.23 m/sec, 30.9 and 31.2 kg, 27.3 and 28.0 kg, 11.8 and 11.9 kg, and 2.8 and 2.9 kg, respectively. The median of these metrics at the first and fourth cycles of CAPOX in women were 21.4 and 22.4, 1.32 and 1.33 m/sec, 22.0 and 22.4 kg, 21.95 and 22.12 kg, 13.43 and 14.62 kg, and 2.34 and 2.31 kg, respectively. The relative values (medians) of the metrics at the fourth cycle to those at the first cycle of CAPOX (men vs women) were as follows; MNA:1.131 vs 1.045 (p = 0.057), gait speed:1.075 vs 0.950 (p = 0.17), grip:1.018 vs 1.044 (p = 0.81), muscle mass:1.028 vs 1.011 (p = 0.036), fat mass:1.029 vs 1.080 (p = 0.47), and bone mineral:1.030 vs 0.991 (p = 0.015). Conclusions: It is suggested that adjuvant CAPOX has negative impact on postoperative recovery of psychological and physical components in female patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
