This document discusses pancreatic cancer, including its incidence, risk factors, clinical presentation, investigations, staging, treatment options, and controversies in management. Some key points:
- Pancreatic cancer has a very poor prognosis with only 20% being operable and a 5-year survival of less than 5%.
- Risk factors include smoking, diet high in fat/low in fiber, diabetes, and certain occupations.
- Presentation is often vague with painless jaundice in 50-60% of cases. CT scan is the gold standard for staging and assessing operability.
- Surgical resection through pancreaticoduodenectomy or distal pancreatectomy offers the only chance of cure but is
This case history involves a 55-year-old gentleman presenting with 3 months of abdominal pain. Initial investigations were normal. Further investigations were needed to determine the appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Options included fecal occult blood test, upper GI endoscopy, CT scan, H. pylori test, and serum gastrin level. Endoscopy allows direct visualization and biopsy of any lesions and is the investigation of choice.
This document provides information on pancreatic cancer including incidence, risk factors, clinical presentation, staging, investigations, surgery, palliation and controversies in management. Some key points are:
- Pancreatic cancer incidence is highest in American Blacks at 11-13 per 100,000 people and 80% of cases occur in those over age 60.
- Only 20% of pancreatic cancers are operable for cure and the 5-year survival is less than 5% due to late presentation and aggressive biology.
- CT scan is the gold standard for staging to assess operability. Surgical resection through pancreaticoduodenectomy or distal pancreatectomy offers the only chance for cure but is only possible in 20-30% of
This patient presented with right flank pain and abdominal distension. Imaging showed cholelithiasis and perforated abdominal viscus. She underwent classical Graham's patch repair for duodenal ulcer perforation. Post-operatively, she developed septic shock, metabolic acidosis, and hypoglycemia. She was deemed to have a poor prognosis and died from septic shock secondary to duodenal ulcer perforation peritonitis, which was exacerbated by the surgical stress of the repair procedure.
A 49-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain and was diagnosed with high grade serous carcinoma of the ovaries. She underwent surgery followed by 6 cycles of paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy. At her 8 month follow up after completing chemotherapy, an ultrasound found small lesions in her liver and her CA-125 marker had increased, raising concern for possible metastasis. Her case will be discussed at tumor board to determine the next steps in her management.

Dr. Arjun Singh, a 52-year-old male, presented for his annual health checkup. He has a family history of prostate cancer as his father had it. His PSA levels have been monitored every few years and were previously normal, but are now elevated at 4.5 ng/ml. A digital rectal exam found no abnormalities in the prostate. Given his rising PSA and family history, a prostate biopsy was recommended to evaluate for possible prostate cancer.
Colon cancer can develop due to chromosomal instability or microsatellite instability. Presentation may be asymptomatic, or include changes in bowel habits, blood in stool, weight loss, or abdominal masses. Diagnosis involves tests such as colonoscopy, biopsy, and imaging. Treatment depends on stage and includes surgery to remove the cancerous section of colon as well as nearby lymph nodes, with the possibility of additional chemotherapy or radiation. Recurrence is common within the first few years and is monitored through cancer antigen testing, imaging and colonoscopy surveillance.

An overview of colorectal carcinoma at oncology department newNazmul Robbin
This document provides an overview of colorectal carcinoma cases seen at the Oncology Department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University over 2 years. It finds that the average age of patients was 47 years, most were male (63%), and over half were smokers (53%). The majority of cases involved the ascending colon (46%) and were adenocarcinoma (97%). At diagnosis, most cases were stage 3 (68%), with 60% of patients receiving XELOX chemotherapy treatment. The conclusion is that colorectal cancer requires a multidisciplinary approach including screening, guidelines for biopsy, surgery and medical management to reduce incidence and care for those affected.

1. The patient presented with persistent fever and abdominal pain and was diagnosed with infectious enterocolitis, likely caused by rotavirus. Imaging showed colitis of the ascending colon with suspected perforation and abscess formation.
2. Gastrointestinal perforation requires full-thickness injury to the bowel wall and can result from various medical and surgical causes. Clinical features depend on the location and contents released.
3. Management involves IV fluids, antibiotics, and surgery to repair the perforation site for patients with signs of peritonitis or worsening symptoms. Some perforations can be managed non-operatively with antibiotics if the perforation is contained.
This morbidity and mortality case report discusses an elderly woman with renal cell carcinoma and multiple medical issues who presented with worsening fatigue and elevated liver enzymes. She was admitted for further workup and had a liver biopsy complicated by hemorrhagic shock and abdominal compartment syndrome requiring multiple blood transfusions and procedures. She ultimately died of multi-organ failure within 4 days of admission. Key discussion points included whether the biopsy was necessary, indications and contraindications, improving post-procedure care, and considering alternatives to the biopsy for this high-risk patient.
A 60-year-old man presented with urinary symptoms including dysuria, nocturia, poor stream, urgency and frequency, and pain. Examination found an enlarged, nodular prostate. Investigations showed an enlarged prostate measuring 6.2x5.8x5.8cm with normal lab results. The patient underwent a TURP procedure which found a high-grade small cell neuroendocrine tumor with perineural invasion.
A 56-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with urinary frequency and abdominal bloating. Examination revealed a large cystic and firm mass in her pelvis. Transvaginal ultrasound and CT scan confirmed a 4.5x5.0x7.5cm complex right pelvic mass and elevated CA-125 level of 622 U/ml. She underwent exploratory laparotomy involving a hysterectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy, and omentectomy to optimally debulk the tumor, followed by chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel to further treat and prevent recurrence of ovarian cancer.
A 24-year-old female presented with rectal mass. Imaging showed a large heterogeneous pelvic mass infiltrating the cervix, vagina, rectum and surrounding structures. Biopsies of the rectal mass showed glandular structures with atypical cells. Differential diagnoses included rectal endometriosis, tubular adenoma or carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry was recommended to help distinguish between endometriosis and malignancy. Further biopsy or resection was also suggested to make a definitive diagnosis.
- Gastric carcinoma was first described in Western literature in the 11th century. Surgical resection for gastric cancer was first performed in the late 19th century.
