Principles of Management
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment
Complete removal of tumor with negative margins
Removal of involved node-bearing tissue
Avoid spillage or disruption of tumor
Assess for evidence of metastasis
Personalized treatment based on molecular profiling
Management
Colon Cancer
Stage I
Surgery alone
Stage II
Surgery alone +/- chemotherapy
Stage III
Surgery + Chemotherapy
Stage IV
Chemotherapy alone
Surgery + chemotherapy +
metastasectomy
Rectal Cancer
Similar to Colon Cancer
Chemoradiation for Stages II and III
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Laparoscopy/ Robotic-assisted
Oncologically equivalent
Benefits versus cost
Smaller incisions
Less pain
Shorter length of stay
Earlier return to activities
Overall cost-effective
Screening
Prevents cancer by removing precancerous polyps
Early identification of cancer
Misconceptions and ignorance abound regarding screening
PCP recommendation has most significant impact
Screening fully covered with no out of pocket expenses
under ACA
Screening
Average Risk
Start at age 50
Family History
Start at age 40 or
10 years earlier than youngest family member with
cancer
High Risk
Based on risk factors
Familial Adenomatous Polyposis; start at age10-12y and
yearly
Lynch Syndrome; start at age 20y and q2y till 45y then
yearly
Screening Modalities
High sensitivity Fecal occult blood testing q1yr
Flexible Sigmoidoscopy q5years +FOBT q3yrs
Colonoscopy q10 years
CT colonography*

Take home message
Incidence and death rates are declining
Eat right, exercise and avoid smoking
Screening saves lives
Most people get screened because their doctor told them to
Advances in treatment have led to improved survival
Advances in molecular profiling of cancers has led to personalized
treatments
