Wound recurrence following conventional treatment of colorectal cancer

Abstract: Incisional recurrence is uncommon, although likely underestimated, following conventional treatment of colorectal carcinoma. Its occurrence is usually a harbinger of diffuse intra-abdominal disease. These data may provide useful information for investigations of laparoscopic approaches to colon cancer.

“…This is our first case of detected abdominal metastasis in 280 colorectal cancer cases which were operated between 2009 and 2014 (0.36%). Tumor recurrence due to the implantation sometimes occurs in the operating field, or in different places depending on the performed surgical procedure (19). There are many reports describing the implantation of tumor cells on the trocar sites during laparoscopic procedures (20).…”

“…The duration of the close contact between potentially tumor-laden trocars together with passing tumor-contaminated instruments and specimens through trocars have also been implicated in seeding at the wound site. Furthermore, disease-related factors such as the biological aggressiveness of a tumor, represented by the presence of ascites, advanced stage, or higher grade, have been linked to increased abdominal wall recurrences [24][25][26][27].…”

“…Several case series, and even some registries, reported rates of trocar-site recurrences in excess of what was historically reported for open surgery. [78][79][80][81][82] This generated great interest in animal model investigations including mechanisms of tumor cell dissemination and immunologic studies. Clinical evidence was required to refute or confirm the association between the wound tumor implants and laparoscopic colectomy for cancer.…”
