Treatment options for colorectal cancer primary lesions with unresectable metastases at risk of acute abdomen

doi:10.3760/cma.j.cn371439-20210714-00137

Abstract

Abstract:

For patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, it is still controversial whether the primary tumor needs surgery when the metastasis is unresectable. The effect of palliative surgical resection of the primary lesion on improving the prognosis and prolonging survival is still uncertain while the risks of acute abdomen trigger the discussion of early palliative surgical resection of the primary tumor. Evaluating and predicting the risk of acute abdomen complicated by colorectal cancer will help to choose the treatment of the primary lesion of unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer.

Key words: Colorectal neoplasms, Acute abdomen, Intestinal obstruction, Digestive system surgical procedures, Antineoplastic protocols
