Outline of Final Research Achievements

We tried to demonstrate new diagnostic strategy during laparoscopic surgery for patients with colorectal cancer. We defined angiogenesis and fibrosis grades using NBI laparoscopy for 40 patients with colorectal cancer. In NBI laparoscopy, angiogenesis and fibrosis grades were correlated with serosa surface invasion, metastatic peritoneal nodules, and metastatic liver nodules.
It was not clear of the effect of chemo-radiation sensitizing gene expression. Intra-operative diagnosis by NBI laparoscopy was superior to other modalities including common laparoscopic observation, preoperative computed tomography, preoperative barium enema, and preoperative colonoscopy.
