Search for: [Abstract = "otal ghrelin and leptin level in plasma were analyzed using commercially available RIA. Forty percent, 23%, 17%, 10%, 8% and 2% of the subjects were affected, respectively, by carcinomas of the rectum, sigmoideum, caecum, colon descendens, colon ascendens and transversum. All the patients were operated on. Three \(6.4%\), 12 \(25.5%\), 6 \(12.8%\), 8 \(17%\) and 13 \(27.6%\) of the subjects had, respectively, local excision using TEM \(Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery\), right hemicolectomy, left hemicolectomy, sigmoidectomy, low anterior and intersphincteric rectum resection. All these patients had a macro\- and microscopic radical operation. Colorectal adenocarcinoma was confirmed in all cases in postoperative histopathological examination. Ten percent of the adenocarcinomas were at stage pT1 according to TNM staging system, 17% at stage pT2 , 10% at stage pT3 and 61% at stage pT4. In 26 patients \(55,3%\) there was no regional lymph nodes invasion detected \(pN0\). In 10 subjects \(21,3%\) there was between 1 and 3 positive lymph nodes \(pN1\) and in 11 \(23,4%\) over 3 positive lymph nodes \(pN2\) were detected. Sixty\-three percent, 21% and 14% of the subjects were affected, respectively, by middle differentiation grade \(G2\), high differentiation grade \(G1\) and low differentiation grade \(G3\) carcinomas. In 40,4% of cases mucinous adenocarcinoma cells were identified. Results\:"]
