2017, Surgical OncologyCitation Excerpt :In facts, the most frequent site of origin for KTs is the stomach (76%), followed by the colorectal tract (11%), the breast (4%), the biliary tract and the gallbladder (3%), and by other sites (small intestine, appendix, pancreas, uterus, urinary bladder, renal pelvis) (15%) [4]. In particular, by their original definition, KTs are strictly associated with diffuse and schirrous-type gastric cancers (which often harbor a SRCs component) [4,8,17,29], and to colorectal, breast and appendiceal cancers with a SRC component [4]. The primary origin of this tumors remains occult in 7–18% of cases, thus the existence of a “primary” KT is still object of debate [11,15].
Difficulty in diagnosis and different prognoses between colorectal cancer with ovarian metastasis and advanced ovarian cancer: An empirical study of different surgical adoptions
2017, Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics and GynecologyCitation Excerpt :However, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common cancer metastatic to ovaries [1,2]. The incidence of ovarian metastasis was between 4% and 30.8% of primary CRC found in previous studies [1,2]. Metastatic ovarian tumor can be discovered as an adnexal mass in a patient with a prior history of colon cancer and this metachronous recurrence is more likely to be accurately diagnosed before surgery.
