These simple treatment plans could not spare the small bowel, which is main cause of treatment-related toxicity in abdominal radiation.[e-roj.org]
Occasionally it will cause perforation, which carries a worse prognosis. We report a case of perforated adenocarcinoma of the cecum that presented as an abscess of the thigh. We also present a review of the literature on this subject.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Analysis was performed to determine the influence of stage and grade of the primary tumor on prognosis. Implications for adjuvant therapy are discussed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Because of the small number of patients, the prognosis of adenocarcinoma arising in an intestinal duplication is not well understood.[kjim.org]
However, it lacks specific symptoms and its diagnosis may be delayed with poor prognosis. Villous adenomas are considered as premalignant lesions with high risk malignant transformation.[link.springer.com]
