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.
Key Clinical Message : History of ureterosigmoidostomy increases
the risk of rectosigmoid adenocarcinoma decades after diversion even
after conversion to ileal urinary conduit and these patients may be
screened for colorectal cancer as high-risk individuals.
