“…Cancer metastasis at the PEG tube exit site in head and neck cancer patients is a rare but important problem. Possible mechanisms of this phenomenon include tumor seeding 4 , 6 , 8 and hematogenous or lymphatic spread of tumor cells. 6 , 29 – 31 The PEG tube is pulled from the upper alimentary tract to the abdominal wall, which may lead to direct contact with tumors located in the oral cavity, oropharynx, or hypopharynx.…”

“… 6 , 29 – 31 The PEG tube is pulled from the upper alimentary tract to the abdominal wall, which may lead to direct contact with tumors located in the oral cavity, oropharynx, or hypopharynx. 8 Accordingly, we hypothesized that the incidence of esophageal metastasis increases with PEG insertion by similar mechanisms. Placing a PEG using so-called pull methods is widely used in Taiwan, as compared with other techniques.…”

“…Similarly, free iodine is an effective tumoricidal agent and is becoming increasingly popular as an antitumour treatment in clinical practice. PVP-I has been widely used as an irrigation fluid during percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy and in head, neck, and colorectal cancer surgery to eliminate free cancer cells to prevent implantation, metastasis and recurrence ( Wu et al, 1998 ; Basha et al, 2000 ; Pattana-arun and Wolff, 2008 ; Hah et al, 2012 ; Chang et al, 2014 ). Furthermore, in a rat model study, researchers found that tumour formation can be impeded by the presence of iodine.…”
