Surgical Considerations in Colon Cancer Management

Abstract

The optimal management of surgical patients with colon cancer has been studied for a long time. However, as the population is evolving and this pathology affects a new range of patients every year, so it becomes important to reassess the type of patients, and their risk factors and to evaluate the most effective type of surgery in colon cancer patients. In this study, 54 patients have been analyzed in order to evaluate operative outcomes and future considerations for the management of colon cancer patients. In this study, most stage III and IV patients had cancer localized on the sigmoid colon, and this site presented a higher complication rate. However, further research is needed to better understand the colon cancer patient and to determine new technology methods for improving the surgical management of this pathology.
