My dad had the portacath placed yesterday, and he will start on Tuesday FOLFOX+Cetuximab, (biomarkers resulted KRAS/NRAS wild type, a full panel of biomarkers is still in process). In light of current events, the Monday's ultrasound revealed bladder wall thickening. The urologis...

Re: Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma + Malignant Ascites, T4N3Mx - Looking for feedback

Unfortunately, placing a port-a-cath was not possible because my dad's blood INR was pretty high (1.61) and he could be at high risk of hematomas. His oncologist was not sure about using a PICC line or Midline, therefore the oncologist decided to go for CAPOX/XELOX. She said both FOLFOX and CAPOX ha...

Re: Removal of ileocecal valve ?

Another question: Did they remove the ileocecal valve when they did the extended right hemicolectomy? If so, other digestive problems are likely to emerge and require specialized treatments.

Re: Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma + Malignant Ascites, T4N3Mx - Looking for feedback

Hi R. I'm sorry about your father's situation. There's no way of hiding it, it's bad. I am one of the lucky few SRCC. We make as rp said 1% of CRC, so there's very, very little data on our specific subtype. ... RP gave you some good advice, I can add a couple. Get an NCI accredited center. Get seco...
