Comparison of Oncological Outcomes After Curative Resection for Right-side Colon Cancer and Left-side Colon Cancer: a Retrospective Observational Study

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: colon (cecum, ascending colon, and proximal two-thirds of the transverse colon) develops from the midgut, whereas the left-side colon (distal third of the transverse colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colon) develops from the hindgut.3 In recent years, there has been increasing interest in distinguishing between RCC and LCC because these two types have different presentations, treatments, and prognoses.4 Studies have shown that RCC and LCC have different clinical and biological characteristics and are currently considered two separate entities.5 This study aims to analyze the clinicopathological findings and oncological outcomes between RCC and LCC after curative resection.
