Abstract
Patients with a history of ureterosigmoidostomy are at an increased risk
of rectosigmoid adenocarcinoma. The cancer can occur many decades after
the diversion, even if there was conversion to ileal urinary conduit.
These patients may still be considered as high-risk individuals and
screened for colorectal cancer accordingly.
