Adenocarcinoma de cólon descendente ulcerado ao mesocólon: relato de caso / Adenocarcinoma of ulcerated descending colon to mesocolon: case report
Resumo
O câncer colorretal é a quinta causa de morte mais comum por câncer e sua etiologia está relacionada com fatores ambientais, como raça, idade, álcool, tabagismo, dieta, doenças inflamatórias intestinais, além de fatores genéticos que têm sido descritos em até 25% dos pacientes. Sintomas prevalentes são alterações intestinais, emagrecimento, sangramento e dor retal, massa palpável abdominal e muco nas fezes. Os tumores de cólon são curáveis quando detectados a tempo e a cirurgia ainda permanece o único tratamento curativo para o câncer de cólon. O estadiamento é o fator mais importante para avaliar depois da cirurgia a sobrevida dos pacientes.

ABSTRACT
Colorrectal cancer is the fifth most common cause of cancer death and its etiology is related to environmental issues, like race, age, alcohol, smoking, diet, inflammatory bowel diseases, apart from genetic factors that have been found in 25% of patients. Some prevalent symptoms are changes in bowel movements, loss of weight, rectal pain and bleeding, palpable tumor in the abdomen, and mucus in the feces. Colon's tumors are curable when detected on time and the surgery is until now the only curable treatment for this kind of cancer. Staging the resected tumor is a key factor in determining how long the patient will live after surgery.
Key-words: colonic neoplasms, colorectal neoplasms, adenocarcinoma, , surgical anastomosis colectomy.
