| | eMedicine - Obstruction, Large Bowel : Article by Charles McCabe, MD |
| | Sigmoid colon and rectal tumors cause colonic obstruction much earlier in their development because the colon is narrower and the stool is harder in that area. | | | Pathophysiology: Colonic obstruction that occurs from the rotating or twisting of the cecum or sigmoid colon normally causes abrupt onset of symptoms. | | | Sigmoid diverticulitis and a perforated sigmoid secondary to carcinoma are clinically difficult to differentiate. |

| | Some adenocarcinomas of the colon, however, develop not from preexisting adenomas but from a premalignant condition within flat mucosa called dysplasia. | | | This condition may be partially responsible for the carcinoma seen in patients with the hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer syndrome. | | | More common conditions associated with an increased risk of developing colon carcinoma include a personal history of colorectal carcinoma or adenoma; a personal history of ovarian, endometrial, or breast cancer; and a history of colon cancer or adenoma in a first-degree relative. |

| | The UICC/AJCC TNM system is often used, however for some common tumours, classic staging methods (such as the Dukes classification for colon cancer) are still used. | | | Carcinomas, like all cancers, are staged according to the extent of disease. | | | Sometimes a tumour is referred to by the presumptive organ of the primary (eg carcinoma of the prostate) or the putative cell of origin (hepatocellular carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma). |
