CURRENT TREATMENT POLICY FOR RECTAL CANCER WITH SYNCHRONOUS DISTANT METASTASES (A CLINICAL CASE)

Abstract

Treatment results of low rectal cancer patient with internal sphincter involvement and synchronous liver metastases is presented. After combined treatment including preoperative targeted therapy, chemotherapy, chemoradiotherapy a synchronous resection of primary tumour and liver metastases was carried out (R0). Synchronous right hepihepatectomy and proctectomy was performed with resection of the deep part of external sphincter, neorectum creation by transverse coloplasty, neoanal sphincter creation using colonic smooth muscle layer without preventive colostomy. A possibility of synchronous plastic sphincter-sparing surgery in metastatic rectal cancer patient with locally advanced tumour is demonstrated. Such treatment allows to remove the risk of primary tumour complications, facilitates further chemotherapy treatment and improves quality of life and long-term treatment outcome.
