Core Tip

Core tip: In this study, we retrospectively assessed the usefulness of en bloc right hemicolectomy with pancreaticoduodenectomy (RHCPD) in five patients with locally advanced right-sided colon cancer (LARCC) with malignant infiltration into adjacent organs. A histological examination confirmed malignant infiltration into the duodenum and/or pancreas in four patients, with no malignant infiltration into the superior mesenteric vein. The OS rates were 80% at 1 year and 60% at 5 years. All patients with node-negative status survived more than seven years without recurrence. The long-term survival is possible for patients, particularly node-negative ones, with LARCC if the RHCPD is performed successfully.
