Background: After achieving a clinical complete response through neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, a nonoperative management approach for rectal cancer patients known as Wait and Watch (W&W) has gained increasing attention. However, the W&W strategy has been related to higher local recurrence and ambiguous long-term survival. This meta-analysis compared key prognosis indicators between W&W and surgical treatment in an effort to clarify some long-standing points of confusion. Methods: Pubmed, Web of Science, EMbase, Cochrane Library were searched for relevant researches comparing W&W with surgery treatment, with a time criteria set from 1 January 2002 to 4 July 2019. Endpoints were 2-year local regrowth/recurrence, 2-year distant metastasis (plus local regrowth/recurrence), 3- and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS). Results: In total, nine studies with 801 patients were enrolled, of which 348 were managed by W&W and 453 by surgery. Surgery patients were further divided into a pathological complete response (pCR) group (all included patients achieved pCR) and a surgery group (consisting of both pCR and non-pCR patients without deliberate screening). Compared with the surgery group, W&W patients have higher 3- and 5-year OS, and are not inferior on 2-year local regrowth (LR), 2-year distant metastasis (DM)/DM+LR, and 3- and 5-year DFS. On the other hand, compared with the pCR group, the W&W group is inferior on 2-year LR, 3- and 5-year DFS, and 5-year OS, and not inferior on 2-year DM/DM+LR and 3-year OS. Conclusions: In contrast with patients undergoing surgical treatment, the W&W group has higher 3- and 5-year OS, and is not inferior on other major prognostic indicators, which, however, is based on the fact that the tumor stage in the W&W group is generally earlier. Versus surgically treated patients who acquired pCR, W&W group is inferior on all major prognostic indicators except 2-year DM/DM+LR and 3-year OS. Additionally, by comparison of cCR definitions across different studies, we conclude that implementation of the strictest cCR criteria is critical for W&W patients to acquire maximum prognostic benefit.

Patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) are more likely to become infected with COVID-19 than healthy individuals. The risk of comlications and death in COVID-19 positive colorectal cancer patients is higher due to treatments that suppress the immune system. We discuss a 71-year-old woman with a history of metastatic rectal cancer and underwent surgery and chemotherapy. With no clinical feathers of an acute abdomen or COVID-19 infection. Further researches are needed to rule out if COVID-19 can mask clinical and biological features presentation in cancer patients. Keywords: metastatic colorectal cancer, COVID-19 infection, surgical treatment

Purpose: To evaluate the functional outcome of sphincter-preserving rectal resection for low rectal cancer. Materials and Methods: From April 2009 to January 2016, there are 52 patients who underwent sphincter-preserving rectal resection with total mesorectal excision with low rectal cancer (<6cm from the anal verge) at Hue Central Hospital, Hue, Vietnam. Results: the average age 62.7 ± 12.8, the distance of tumor from anal verge include four group (≤ 3cm 1.9%; 3 to ≤ 4cm 17.3%; 4 to ≤ 5cm 34.6%; > 5 cm). T stage T1/ T2/T3: 1.9%/28.8%/69.2%. The following time is 33.8 ± 18.9 month. Overall recurrence was 13/18(27.1%), local recurrence was 5 (10.4%). Total survival was 40.5 ± 2.9 month. Technique: intersphincteric preservation 14 (26.9%), low anterior resection 17 (32.7%) and pull-through procedure 21 (40.4%). The distance of anatomosis from anal verge: from 1 to ≤ 2 cm:14 (26.9%); from 2 to ≤ 3cm: 21 (40.4%); from 3 to ≤ 4 cm: 17 (32.7%). Bowels movement of 3 month: 4.7 ± 3.2 and 12th month: 2.7 ± 1.6 (p< 0.01). Conclusions: Sphincterpreserving rectal resection using may provide a good continence and oncologic safety. The patients are acceptable with the results of functional outcomes. Key words: Low rectal cancer, sphincter-preserving
