Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening results in dramatically improved survival [ 1, 2] and can prevent late-stage disease and associated serious and emergent complications including obstruction, perforation, hemorrhage, and peritonitis.
We report a series of 13 patients who had ophthalmic symptoms after DF or DHF, and describe the course, spectrum of manifestations, and prognosis and treatment of these new and emergent complications.
Oncology patients often experience urgent or emergent medical complications that are a direct or indirect result of the underlying malignant condition.
Oncology patients often experience urgent or emergent medical complications that are a direct or indirect result of the underlying malignant condition and are first identified or clarified on radiologic imaging studies.
Several studies have assessed complications of emergent endotracheal intubation in the ICU [ 2- 5].
In all patients with known CD, no complications requiring emergent surgical interventions such as obstruction, perforation or hemorrhage were demonstrated.
Disease variables included disease duration, treatment regimen, HbA1c (gold standard measure of glycemic control), frequency of complications, and emergent use of health care services.
Several factors are involved in the development of late RE, including progressive cell loss and vascular obliteration in irradiated intestine, which will result in emergent or even fatal complications, such as obstruction, perforation, intestinal necrosis or acute hemorrhage.
Patients deemed to be good surgical risks should be offered surgical correction before complications occur because emergent surgery in the setting of incarceration has a high mortality.
Importantly, this innovative strategy was not associated with relevant complications, such as emergent intubation, cardiovascular events and pneumothorax.
Patients with neurological malignancies are subject to developing a unique set of complications that require emergent evaluation and treatment.
