Abstract

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is recognized as a serious complication in both surgical and non-surgical patients. Cancer, particularly adenocarcinoma developing in the digestive organs, is one of the most potent risk factors for VTE, as first described by Trousseau in 1865. Cell membrane microparticles shedding from cancer cells play a critical role in venous clot formation through tissue factor (TF)-mediated activation of the coagulation system. Since recent prospective studies have demonstrated that VTE risk in Japanese surgical patients is comparable to that in Caucasians, perioperative thromboprophylaxis with anticoagulants is now considered essential in patients undergoing abdominal cancer surgery, in addition to mechanical thromboprophylaxis. Recent multi-center studies have also shown the efficacy and safety of enoxaparin, a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), and fondaparinux, a synthetic Xa inhibitor, in VTE prevention after abdominal cancer surgery. Anticoagulants like LMWH are expected to exert not only thromboprophylactic but also antineoplastic effects.

Bessere Prognose mit links- statt rechtsseitigem Kolon-Ca.

06.05.2024 Kolonkarzinom Nachrichten

Menschen mit linksseitigem Kolonkarzinom leben im Mittel zweieinhalb Jahre länger als solche mit rechtsseitigem Tumor. Auch aktuell ist das Sterberisiko bei linksseitigen Tumoren US-Daten zufolge etwa um 11% geringer als bei rechtsseitigen.

Echinokokkose medikamentös behandeln oder operieren?

06.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Die Therapie von Echinokokkosen sollte immer in spezialisierten Zentren erfolgen. Eine symptomlose Echinokokkose kann – egal ob von Hunde- oder Fuchsbandwurm ausgelöst – konservativ erfolgen. Wenn eine Op. nötig ist, kann es sinnvoll sein, vorher Zysten zu leeren und zu desinfizieren.
