UnknownCross-Sectional Study on MRI Restaging After Chemoradiotherapy and Interval to Surgery in Rectal Cancer: Influence on Short- and Long-Term Outcomes.

Background

The time interval between CRT and surgery in rectal cancer patients is still the subject of debate. The aim of this study was to first evaluate the nationwide use of restaging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and its impact on timing of surgery, and, second, to evaluate the impact...

UnknownVariation in the management of adhesive small bowel obstruction in the Netherlands: a prospective cross-sectional study.

Background

ASBO is a frequent abdominal surgical emergency and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in emergency surgery. The aim of this study is to provide insight into the current management of adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) and associated outcomes.

Methods and materials...

UnknownUse of ileostomy versus colostomy as a bridge to surgery in left-sided obstructive colon cancer: retrospective cohort study.

Background

Colorectal cancer causes the majority of large bowel obstructions and surgical resection remains the gold standard for curative treatment. There is evidence that a deviating stoma as a bridge to surgery can reduce postoperative mortality rate; however, the optimal stoma type is un...

UnknownOncological outcomes of planned and unplanned low Hartmann's procedure and restorative low anterior resection for rectal cancer: a population-based cross-sectional study.

Background

In the Netherlands, approximately 15% of patients with rectal cancer undergo a low Hartmann's procedure (low-HP). This is often preoperatively planned to avoid poor functional outcome or complications, but might be unplanned as a result of intraoperative difficulties. Low-HPs seem...

UnknownClinical nodal staging to assess the risk of local recurrence after rectal cancer resection: A nationwide cross-sectional study.

Aim

In rectal cancer, neo-adjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy (n(C)RT) should be used selectively, due to related toxicity. The decision to offer n(C)RT is mainly based on preoperative MRI staging. cN category has limited accuracy and its use when deciding on n(C)RT is controversial. This populatio...

UnknownSynchronous and Metachronous Peritoneal Metastases in Patients with Left-Sided Obstructive Colon Cancer.

Background

Controversy exists on emergency setting as a risk factor for peritoneal metastases (PM) in colon cancer patients. Data in patients with obstruction are scarce. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of synchronous and metachronous PM, risk factors for the development...

UnknownAbandonment of Routine Radiotherapy for Nonlocally Advanced Rectal Cancer and Oncological Outcomes.

Importance

Neoadjuvant short-course radiotherapy was routinely applied for nonlocally advanced rectal cancer (cT1-3N0-1M0 with >1 mm distance to the mesorectal fascia) in the Netherlands following the Dutch total mesorectal excision trial. This policy has shifted toward selective application...
