Examples:
• colonic T1N0M0 would have surgical resection alone
Cancer colon
Aetiology and predisposing factors
• Diet:
- Low vegetable fiber intake [Vegetable fibers are thought to increase the bulk
of the stools thus diluting the concentrations of putative carcinogens and at
the same time speed the transit through the large intestine thus decreasing
the mucosal exposure to possible offenders].
- High content of refined carbohydrates
- Diminished vitamin A, C, and E (protective micronutrients)
- Excess fat intake enhances synthesis of cholesterol and bile acids by liver
which may be converted to potential carcinogens by bacterial flora of large
intestine.
• Genetic factors:
- Genes known to increase likelihood of adenoma formations
- Genetic cancer syndromes (FAP, HNPCC)
• Inflammatory bowel disease
FAP: Familial Adenomatous Polyposis [mutation of APC gene]
HNPCC:

Case study
A 65 year old man has recently noticed bleeding/rectum.
Endoscopy reveals the presence of a malignant fungating mass in
the colon. MRI has shown multiple hepatic nodules suggestive of
metastasis.

Objectives
By the end of this lecture students should be able to:
• Describe the aetiology and pathogenetic mechanisms that
lead to the development of colon cancer.
• List the common sites of metastasis of primary GI tumours
• Recognize the grade and stage of a tumour in light of the
given data and the microscopic images.
