Overview
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for appendix cancer. The feasibility as well as determining the appropriate plan of surgery depends on the stage of appendix cancer at diagnosis.
Surgery
- Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for appendix cancer.
- The feasibility as well as determining the appropriate plan of surgery depends on the stage of appendix cancer at diagnosis.
- Carcinoid tumors are generally treated with appendectomy, right hemicolectomy and surrounding lymph nodes dissection.
- Non-carcinoid tumors are candied for tumor debulking surgery; in addition to right hemicolectomy and tumor dissection, gallbladder, as well ovaries and uterus in female patients might be excised. Tumor debulking surgery might accompanied by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), specially in high stage cases with peritoneal seeding as well as in patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei.
- Small lesions????? limited to appendix may be treated by simple appendectomy, but lesion larger than 5 cm,????? lesions should be treated with appendectomy and right hemicolectomy.
