Rectal Cancer II

Objectives:
Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1) acknowledge the negative influence of young age on the prognosis of rectal cancer; 2) note that the rate of sphincter sparing surgery has increased over the study period although the majority of radical resections for rectal cancer in the U.S. continue to require a permanent colostomy and the absolute number of APR procedures performed remains high. In addition, participants will note that the increase in sphincter sparing surgery remains disproportionately low among blacks, males, patients with Medicaid insurance, and patients in lower income zip codes; 3) assess the postoperative results of rectal cancer surgery in patients without preoperative bowel preparation; 4) understand the difference in outcomes in laparoscopic resection for extra-peritoneal rectal cancer; 5) understand the indication of laparoscopic surgery in rectal cancer patients; criteria to perform an evaluation of quality of life and how cost-benefit analysis should be carried out; 6) describe differences in clinical course between HIV+ and HIV- anal cancer patients; 7) management of primary obstructive colonic cancer with unresectable metastases; and 8) understand the role of hypoxia and angiogenesis in rectal cancer, specifically understand the role of hypoxia-inducible 1-± and hypoxia-inducible 2-± in the hypoxic response to tumor growth in rectal cancer; understand the relationship between hypoxic factors and prognosis in rectal cancer.
