Exfoliated cells and in vitro growth in colorectal cancer

Abstract: Cells exfoliated from colorectal cancers may only be implicated in local recurrence if they are proven to be viable and capable of growth. Thirty patients with primary colorectal cancer were studied. Cells were obtained from primary tumour, uninvolved mucosa, mesorectum, lumen of the bowel, luminal mucus, serosal surface of the bowel and from washings of the tumour bed after dissection. Colonies grew in vitro in monolayer culture from 21/30 primary tumours; 11/41 mesorectum specimens; 11/27 luminal washings; 1… Show more

“…Suture-line recurrence in the jejunal pouch is extremely rare. Possible underlying mechanisms include submucosal or subserosal lymphatic spread of cancer, and the implantation of exfoliated cancer cells [5,6]. In our patient, lymphatic spread was unlikely to have been the route of recurrence, because the histology of the primary tumor was differentiated type and no lymphatic permeation or lymph node metastasis was seen.…”
