Following surgical removal of colon cancer, the cancer is referred to as Stage II if the final pathology report shows that the cancer has penetrated the wall of the colon into the abdominal cavity, but does not invade any of the local lymph nodes and cannot beI StageWvcancerinstitute Com...
Once your cancerous colon has been removed and you receive any other treatment recommended by your cancer careteam, you will see your gastroenterologist or cancer specialist (oncologist) regularly for follow-up visits. These visits will allow your team to see if the cancer has spread and to det...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third commonest cancer in the Western world. Approximately one-quarter of cases are classified as Stage II/Dukes' B, meaning that the disease has breached the bowel wall but not spread to draining lymph nodes or distant sites. Stage II colon cancer is a heter...
We have assessed the possibility to build a prognosis predictor (PP), based on non-neoplastic mucosa microarray gene expression measures, for stage II colon cancer patients. Non-neoplastic colonic mucosa mRNA samples from 24 patients (10 with a metachronous metastasis, 14 with no recurrence) were...
Van K. Morris, MD, discusses the design of the prospective phase 2/3 NRG-GI005 (COBRA) trial evaluating circulating tumor DNA as a predictive biomarker for adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with colon cancer.
A multicenter research team has identified a biomarker that predicts which stage II colon cancer patients may benefit from chemotherapy after surgery to prevent a recurrence of their disease.
We have assessed the possibility to build a prognosis predictor (PP), based on non-neoplastic mucosa microarray gene expression measures, for stage II colon cancer patients. Non-neoplastic colonic mucosa mRNA samples from 24 patients (10 with a metachronous metastasis, 14 with no recurrence) were...
The purpose of the study was to compare staging of stage II colon cancer using the number of retrieved lymph nodes (RN) to current TNM staging for stratification of prognosis.The subjects were 6307 patients with stage II colon cancer who underwent curative resection at 24 Japanese institutions. ...
This study was aimed: (a) to investigate the impact of the AJCC 7th edition stage II sub-classification on the overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) of colon cancer patients who underwent surgical resection and (b) to compare the last three...
To develop a systematic review that would address the following question: Should patients with stage II colon cancer receive adjuvant therapy? Author and article information Journal Journal ID (iso-abbrev): J Clin Oncol Title: Journal of clinical oncology : official journal of the American Soci...
