Colon arterial SupplySMA branches into :

Ileocolic artery (terminal ileum and proximal ascending colon).Right colic artery (ascending colon).Middle colic artery

(transverse colon).IMA

branches into:Left colic artery (descending colon).Several sigmoidal branches

(sigmoid colon)Superior rectal artery (proximal rectum).

The terminal branches of each artery form anastomoses with the terminal branches of the adjacent artery and communicate via the marginal artery of Drummond.

Slide5

Venous drainageThe veins of the colon parallel their corresponding arteries and bear the same terminology.

IMV ascends in the retroperitoneal plane over the psoas muscle and continues posterior to the pancreas to join the splenic vein.

Slide6

The lymphatic drainageLymphatic vessels and lymph nodes follow the regional arteries.

Slide7

Colon Nerve SupplyThe Sympathetic

nerves arise from T6-T12 and L1-L3.The parasympathetic innervation to the right and transverse colon is from the vagus nerve; the parasympathetic nerves to the left colon arise from

sacral nerves S2-S4.

Slide8

PolypsNonspecific clinical term that describes any projection from the surface of the intestinal mucosa regardless of its histologic nature.

Most colorectal carcinomas evolve from adenomatous polyps.

Slide9

Adenomatous polyps25% of the population older than 50 years of age.Increase risk of malignancy?

Classification:(acc. To histology)Tubular adenomas (5%).villous adenomas (40%).

Tubulovillous adenomas (22%).

Slide10

(Acc. To shape)

Pedunculated -> colonoscopic snareexcision.

Sessile

Complications of polypectomyinclude perforation and bleeding

.

Slide11

Hyperplastic polypsExtremely common.

These polyps are usually small (<5 mm) -> hyperplasia without any dysplasia.L

arge hyperplastic polyps (>2 cm) -> foci of adenomatous tissue and dysplasiaHyperplastic polyposis

is a rare disorder in which multiple large hyperplastic polyps occur in young adults. These patients are at slightly increased risk for the development of colorectal cancer.

Slide12

Serrated polypsSaw-toothed appearance under the microscope.

Some of these polyps will develop into invasive cancers.A familial serrated polyposis syndrome

.Serrated polyps should be treated like adenomatous polyps.

Slide13

hamartomatous polyps (juvenile)Not premalignant.

Associated with mutation in PTEN.Bleeding

is a common symptom, and intussusception and/or obstruction

may occur. Treated by polypectomy.

Slide14

Familial juvenile polyposisAD disorder in which patients develop

hundreds of polyps in the colon and rectum.Annual screening should begin between the ages of 10 and 12 years.

Treatment is surgical and depends on the degree of rectal involvement

If the rectum is relatively spared, a total abdominal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis.If the rectum is carpeted with polyps, total proctocolectomy is the more appropriate operation

and ileal pouch–anal reconstruction to avoid a permanent stoma

Slide15

Peutz-Jeghers syndromepolyposis of the small intestine, the colon and rectum.

Characteristic melanin spots on the buccal mucosa and lips of these patients..Carcinoma may develop.Surgery

for symptoms.Screening

consists of a baseline colonoscopy and upper endoscopy at age 20 years, followed by annual flexible sigmoidoscopy thereafter.

Slide16

Cronkite-Canada syndromeGI polyposis in association with alopecia, cutaneous pigmentation, and atrophy of the fingernails and toenails

.Diarrhea is a prominent symptom, and vomiting, malabsorption, and protein-losing enteropathy may occur.Most patients die of this disease.S

urgery for complications.

Slide17

Cowden’s syndromeAD.

Hamartomas of all three embryonal cell layers.Facial trichilemmomas, breast cancer, thyroid disease and gastrointestinal polyps.

Patients should be screened for cancers.Treatment is otherwise based on symptoms.

Slide18

Inflammatory polypsNot premalignant.

In inflammatory bowel diseaseAfter amebic colitis, ischemic colitis, and

schistosomal colitis.

Microscopic examination shows islands of normal, regenerating mucosa (the polyp) surrounded by areas of mucosal loss.Polyposis may be extensive, especially in patients with severe colitis, and may mimic FAP.

Slide19

Inherited Colorectal Carcinoma

Slide20

Familial Adenomatous PolyposisAD, 1% of all colorectal adenocarcinomas. M

utation in the APC gene, on chromosome 5q (positive in 75% of cases).Up to 25% present without other affected family members.H

undreds to thousands of adenomatous polyps shortly after puberty.Risk of colorectal cancer 100% by age 50 years.

Slide21

Slide22

Risk for the development of adenomas anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the

duodenum.Upper endoscopy (every 1 to 3 years beginning at age 25 to 30 years).Treatment is

surgical.Three operative procedures can be considered:

Total proctocolectomy with an end (Brooke) ileostomyTotal abdominal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosisR

estorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch–anal anastomosis with or without a temporary ileostomy.

Slide23

FAP may be associated with extraintestinal manifestations such as congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigmented epithelium, desmoid tumors, epidermoid cysts, mandibular osteomas (Gardner’s syndrome)

central nervous system tumors (Turcot’s syndrome).Desmoid tumors are often hormone responsive, and growth may be inhibited in some patients with tamoxifen.

COX-2 inhibitors and nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs may also be beneficial in this setting.

Slide24

Attenuated Familial Adenomatous PolyposisVariant of FAP.

Present later in life with fewer polyps (usually 10–100) predominantly in the right colon.CRca develops in more than 50% of these patients, but occurs later (average age, 55 years).

Patients are also at risk for duodenal polyposis.APC

gene mutations are present in only about 30% (AD)Mutations in MYH also result in the(AR).

Slide25

Genetic testing.When

positive, screen at-risk family members.If the family mutation is unknown, screening colonoscopy is recommended beginning at age

13 to 15 years, then every 4 years to age 28 years, and then every 3 years.These patients are often candidates for a

total abdominal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis because the limited polyposis in the rectum can usually be treated by colonoscopic snare excision.

Prophylaxis with COX-2 inhibitors.

Slide26

Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colon Cancer (Lynch’s Syndrome).HNPCC (Lynch’s syndrome) is more common than FAP.

(1%–3% of all colon cancers).AD, Errors in mismatch repair.Development of colorectal carcinoma at an early age (average age, 40–45 years). Approximately 70% Cancers appear in the

proximal colon and have a better prognosis

regardless of stage.The risk of synchronous or metachronous colorectal carcinoma is 40%.May also be associated with

extracolonic malignancies, including endometrial carcinoma, which is most common, and ovarian, pancreas, stomach, small bowel, biliary, and urinary tract carcinomas.

Slide27

The diagnosis is made based on family history.The

Amsterdam criteria for clinical diagnosis of HNPCC are:Three affected relatives with histologically verified adenocarcinoma of the large bowel (one must be a first-degree relative of one of the others) in two successive generations of a family with one patient diagnosed before age 50 years.The presence of other HNPCC-related carcinomas should raise the suspicion of this syndrome.

Slide28

Screening colonoscopy is recommended annually

for at risk patients beginning at either age 20 to 25 years or 10 years younger than the youngest age at diagnosis in the family, whichever comes first.Because of the high risk of endometrial carcinoma, transvaginal ultrasound or endometrial aspiration biopsy is also recommended

annually after age 25 to 35 years.

Slide29

Because there is a 40% risk of developing a second colon cancer, total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis is recommended once adenomas or a colon carcinoma is diagnosed.

Annual proctoscopy is necessary because the risk of developing rectal cancer remains high. Similarly, prophylactic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo

-oophorectomy should be considered in women who have completed childbearing.

Slide30

Familial Colorectal Cancer10% to 15% of patients with colorectal cancer.

Diagnosis before the age of 50 years is associated with a higher incidence in family members.Screening colonoscopy is recommended every 5 years beginning at age 40 years or beginning 10 years before the age of the earliest diagnosed patient in the pedigree.

Managementsurgical resection: Remove the primary tumor along with its lymphovascular

supply➢ Surgeries could be curative or palliativeAdjuvant chemotherapy: stage III / VI or locally advanced stage IIcombination of 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin with either irinotecan (FOLFIRI) or oxaliplatin (FOLFOX).

Slide43

Stage-Specific TherapyStage 0 (Tis, N0, M0):

PolypectomySegmental resection.

Slide44

Stage I: The Malignant Polyp (T1, N0, M0):

Invasive carcinoma in pedunculated polyp polypectomy or Segmental colectomy.Invasive carcinoma arising in a sessile polyp extends into the

submucosa and is usually best treated with segmental colectomy

Slide45

Stages I and II: Localized Colon Carcinoma (T1-3, N0,M0):

Surgical resection.Adjuvant chemotherapy has been suggested for selected patients with stage II disease (young patients, tumors with “high-risk” histologic findings).

Slide46

Stage III: Lymph Node Metastasis (T

any, N1, M0)Adjuvant chemotherapy has been recommended routinely in these patients.

Slide47

Stage IV: Distant Metastasis (T

any, Nany, M1).Highly selected patients with isolated,

resectable metastases may benefit from resection (metastasectomy

).All patients require adjuvant chemotherapy.

Slide48

colonic stenting for obstructing lesions of the left colon also provide good palliation.

More limited surgical intervention such as a diverting stoma or bypass procedure may be appropriate in patients with stage IV disease who develop obstruction.Hemorrhage in an unresectable tumor can sometimes be controlled with angiographic embolization.External beam radiation also has been used for palliation.
