1. Mesenteric ischemia after capecitabine treatment in rectal cancer and resultant short bowel syndrome is not an absolute contraindication for radical oncological treatmentAna Perpar, Erik Brecelj, Nada Rotovnik-Kozjek, Franc Anderluh, Irena Oblak, Marija Skoblar Vidmar, Vaneja Velenik, 2015, short scientific article Abstract: Thrombotic events, arterial or venous in origin, still remain a source of substantial morbidity and mortality in cancer patients. The propensity for their development in oncology patients is partially a consequence of the disease itself and partially a result of our attempts to treat it. One of the rarest and deadliest thromboembolic complications is arterial mesenteric ischemia. The high mortality rate is caused by its rarity and by its non-specific clinical presentation, both of which make early diagnosis and treatment difficult. Hence, most diagnoses and treatments occur late in the course of the disease. The issue survivors of arterial mesenteric ischemia may face is short bowel syndrome, which has become a chronic condition after the introduction of parenteral nutrition at home. We present a 73-year-old rectal cancer patient who developed acute arterial mesenteric thrombosis at the beginning of the pre-operative radiochemotherapy. Almost the entire length of his small intestine, except for the proximal 50 cm of it, and the ascending colon had to be resected. After multiorgan failure his condition improved, and he was able to successfully complete radical treatment (preoperative radiotherapy and surgery) for the rectal carcinoma, despite developing short bowel syndrome (SBS) and being dependent upon home-based parenteral nutrition to fully cover his nutritional needs. Mesenteric ischemia and resultant short bowel syndrome are not absolute contraindications for radical oncological treatment since such patients can still achieve long-term remission.

2. Phase II study of fluorouracil, leucovorin and interferon alpha-2a in patients with advanced colon cancerBorut Štabuc, Aleksandra Markovič, Erik Brecelj, Samir Bešlija, Tomaž-Edvard Cizej, 1998, original scientific article Abstract: Based on in viro studies that have demonstrated synergy between fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin (LV) as well as between 5-FU and recombinant alpha-2a interferon (IFN) against colon cancer cell lines a phase II study was carried out to evaluate the toxicity and clinical activity of 5-FU modulated with LV and IFN in patients with metastatic colon cancer. Twenty-two chemotherapy naive patients with measurable metastases of colon cancer have been treated with daily doses of 5-FU 600 mg/m2 in 6-hr intravenous infusion, and of LV 20 mg/m2 intravenously and IFN 6 MU subcutaneously, for 5 days every 4 weeks. Median age was 60 years, median PS (ECOG) was 1 (range 0-2). Liver, soft tissue and lung metastases were found in 12, 5 and 8 patients, respectively. Nineteen patients had a single metastatic site, two double, whereas one had more than two metastatic sites. Patients had 2-9 (mean 5) cycles of treatment.Objective response was observed in 7 patients (32%), and stable disease in 7 patients (32%). Overall median survival was 12.5 months, and for responders 14.4 months. Responses were generally short and median time for progression was 5.5 months. The most frequent adverse reactions were flu-like syndrome (50%), nausea/vomiting (36%), diarhoea (13Č), stomatitis (27%) and leucopenia (13%). This regimen of 5-FU with LV and IFN administration does notappear to be superior to previously published shedules of 5-FU with IFN or 5-FU with LV.

3. Sodobno zdravljenje lokalno napredovalega in recidivnega raka dankeErik Brecelj, 2022, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: Zdravljenje lokalno napredovalega in recidivnega raka danke je zahtevno. Z uvedbo boljše diagnostike, novih načinov predoperativnega zdravljenja na eni strani in z bolj agresivno kirurško terapijo na drugi strani dosegamo več R0 resekcij, ki edine omogočajo potencialno ozdravitev. Še vedno pa so ti posegi za bolnike neredko mutilantni. Z ustreznimi tehnikami rekonstrukcije dosegamo večjo možnost resektabilnosti, hkrati pa so posledice kirurškega zdravljenja manjše. Pomembna pri vrnitvi bolnika v normalno življenje sta prehranska podpora in rehabilitacija. Tako kompleksno zdravljenje je možno samo v multidisciplinarnem timu.
