Abstract

Aim: to investigate treatment results of locally advanced right colon cancer patients with pancreas or duodenum invasion. Materials and methods. Short-term treatment results of 14 locally advanced right colon cancer patients who underwent right hemicolectomy (or resection of ileotransversal anastomosis) with pancreaticoduodenectomy were analyzed. Results. Median operative time was 285 (240–420) min. Median intraoperative blood loss was 1800 (600–3300) ml. 6 (42.9 %) patients developed postoperative complications, no postoperative mortality was observed. Overall survival (OS) was: 1-year – 100 %, 3-year – 62.4 %, 5-year – 41.5 %. Median OS was not reached (median follow-up was 23 months). Conclusions. Surgical treatment of locally advanced right colon cancer patients with pancreas or duodenum invasion allows to achieve significant overall survival with acceptable morbidity and no postoperative mortality.
