Cervical Metastasis From Colorectal Cancer

Elisabeth Chereau et al. World J Oncol. 2011 Apr.

Abstract

Metastatic carcinoma from colorectal cancer to the uterine cervix is rare. We report a case of metastatic carcinoma from a right colon cancer to the cervix with vaginal extension 3 years after primary treatment. Our report highlights the importance of immunohistochemical analysis to determine the origin of uterine cervix cancer in the event of adenocarcinoma in a patient with a history of colorectal cancer to adapt therapeutic strategy accordingly.

Keywords: Colorectal cancer; Immunohistochemical; Metastasis; Uterine cervix cancer.
