    Abstract Total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) for rectal cancer is the preoperative delivery of radiation or chemoradiotherapy as well as systemic chemotherapy for the purpose of improving treatment completion rates and decreasing toxicity, maximizing the primary tumor response, and improving survival for patients with rectal cancer. This review summarizes the data surrounding TNT, including several recent randomized controlled trials. Moreover, it reviews the literature regarding high-quality surgery and the role of radiation and chemotherapy in the treatment of rectal cancer in the modern era. Finally, it presents an evidence-based protocol for the selective use of TNT in the treatment of patients with rectal cancer.

    Abstract There has historically been a significant divide in the approach to the management of lateral pelvic lymph nodes in patients with rectal cancer. These differing paradigms have developed based upon competing priorities. In the West, the circumferential resection margin has been the main focus because it is a strong predictor of local recurrence, distal recurrence, and survival. This approach was supplemented by radiation and chemotherapy to treat the lateral pelvic lymph nodes and micrometastatic disease. In the East, lateral pelvic lymph nodes are considered to be locoregional; thus, surgical treatment has traditionally included routine dissection of this compartment for low rectal cancers without the use of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. However, neither approach has adequately addressed the important issue of lateral compartment recurrence in patients with clinically evident lateral pelvic lymph node metastasis. The aims of the review were to present the recent key studies and evolution of lateral pelvic lymph node management in locally advanced rectal cancer and secondly to propose a management strategy for the lateral compartment based on the current evidence.

    Abstract Background: Despite reforming health policies to create more enabling environments, insufficient physical activity in Sri Lanka remains a major public health issue. Socio-culture specific determinants underlying the physical activity of adults living in such environments need to be identified. The aim of this study was to explore the barriers and facilitators for physical activity, as perceived by adult urban dwellers in activity-friendly environments in Colombo District, Sri Lanka.
    Methods: A qualitative study using in-depth interviews was conducted among adults aged 20-60 years living in an urban area which has been recently re-designed for recreational and rejuvenating purposes in Sri Lanka. Recruitment targeted varying socio-economic status and risk of non-communicable diseases; and was continued until the data saturation point was reached. Interviews were conducted in homes, primary healthcare units and fitness centres, and were transcribed verbatim and analysed using framework analysis.
    Results: A total of 31 eligible and consenting adults were interviewed. Of the reported barriers to physical activity, lack of time was very common. Other frequently reported barriers included unpleasant experiences following exercise and misconceptions about exercise, whereas physical environmental factors, weather and road safety were reported less frequently. All participants reported at least one facilitator for engaging in exercise. Expectations of preventing diseases, improving health, physical fitness, psycho-social wellbeing, optimising body functions and increasing lifespan were frequently cited as reasons to be active, while social factors such as positive attitudes of family members and the influence of peers were found to be motivating.
    Conclusions: The study showed that while participants valued the health benefits of physical activity and refurbished activity-friendly urban environments, these were not sufficient to support them to overcome key perceived barriers to being physically active.

    Abstract BACKGROUND Invasive cervical tumors are often seen in clinical practice. However, there are multiple structures within the pelvis, and invasion of the cervix from another site must be included in the differential diagnosis. In such cases, a multidisciplinary approach is needed to define the organ of tumor origin. Ensuring proper staging and histologic analysis are critical for optimal management. CASE REPORT We present a case of a 68-year-old woman who presented to her gynecologist with painless post-menopausal vaginal bleeding. She was diagnosed with a locally aggressive cervical adenocarcinoma, which was histologically confirmed by an in-office biopsy. She was referred to the gynecologic oncology service at a tertiary care hospital for definitive management, where a thorough clinical workup was performed. Physical exam revealed that the mass had invaded the anterior rectal wall. Through a multidisciplinary approach and a repeat biopsy, she was correctly diagnosed with an invasive rectal adenocarcinoma. She was treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and underwent curative surgery. Had she been incorrectly treated as having a primary cervical adenocarcinoma, there would have been no role for surgery. The change in the organ of primary drastically altered the patient's management and outcome. She is currently undergoing surveillance with cross-sectional imaging. CONCLUSIONS Cervical masses originating from non-gynecologic organs can be difficult to differentiate on physical exam and histologic analysis. When a mass involves the rectum, an invasive primary rectal adenocarcinoma must be included in the differential. This will have a significant impact on patient management and ultimately on patient survival.

    Abstract The management of rectal cancer has evolved substantially over recent decades, becoming increasingly complex. This was once a disease associated with high mortality and limited treatment options that typically necessitated a permanent colostomy, has now become a model for multidisciplinary evaluation, treatment and surgical advancement. Despite advances in the rates of total mesorectal excision, decreased local recurrence and increased 5-year survival rates, the multimodal treatment of rectal cancer is associated with a significant impact on long-term functional and quality of life outcomes including risks of bowel, bladder and sexual dysfunction, and potential need for a permanent stoma. There is great interest in strategies to decrease the toxicity of treatment, including selective use of radiation, chemotherapy or even surgery. The modern concept of selective use of surgery for patients with rectal cancer are based on the observed pathological complete response in approximately 10-20% of patients following long-course chemoradiation therapy. While definitive surgical resection remains the standard of care for all patients with non-metastatic rectal cancer, a growing number of studies are providing supportive evidence for a watch-and-wait, organ preserving approach in highly selected patients with rectal cancer. However, questions regarding the heterogeneity of patient selection, optimal method for inducing pathological complete response, methods and intervals for assessing treatment response and adequacy of follow-up remain unanswered. The aim of this review is to provide an up-to-date summary of the current evidence for the watch-and-wait management of rectal cancer following a complete clinical response after neoadjuvant chemoradiation.

    Abstract We aimed to evaluate the practice and the associated outcomes of surgical treatment for young-onset colorectal cancer (YOCRC) patients presenting with synchronous liver metastases. The study cohort was divided into two groups according to surgery date: 131 patients in the early era (EE, 1998-2011) and 179 in the contemporary era (CE, 2012-2020). The CE had a higher rate of node-positive primary tumors, higher carcinoembryonic antigen level, and lower rate of RAS/BRAF mutations. The CE had higher rates of reverse or combined resection, multi-drug prehepatectomy chemotherapy, and two-stage hepatectomy. The median survival was 8.4 years in the CE and 4.3 years in the EE (p = 0.011). On multivariate analysis, hepatectomy in the CE was independently associated with improved overall survival (HR 0.48, p = 0.001). With a combination of perioperative systemic therapy, careful selection of treatment approach, and coordinated resections, durable cure can be achieved in YOCRC patients.

    Abstract Background: Wearable technologies are being used to provide personalised feedback across multiple physical activity dimensions in countries such as the UK, but their feasibility has not been tested in South Asia, where physical inactivity is increasing. This study assessed the understanding, acceptability, and relevance of personalised multidimensional physical activity feedback in urban dwellers in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
    Methods: A qualitative feasibility study was conducted among 35 adults to assess a community-based approach to provide multidimensional physical activity feedback. Healthy adults, adults at risk of non-communicable diseases and community-based primary healthcare professionals wore a physical activity monitor for 7 days and were then guided through their personalised multidimensional physical activity feedback. One-to-one interviews were conducted, transcribed verbatim and analysed using framework analysis.
    Results: Four themes were generated: understanding of personalised physical activity feedback, perceived novelty of the feedback, motivation, and consideration of the multidimensional nature of physical activity. A majority of participants required guidance initially to understand the feedback, following which most were quickly able to interpret the data shown, and were willing to use the feedback as a basis for identifying goals to improve physical activity. Participants perceived the feedback and its delivery as novel because it provided new knowledge about physical activity guidelines and awareness on their own behaviour through graphics. Comparisons of personal performance against recommended physical activity levels and information on sedentary time were the most commonly motivating aspects of the feedback, prompting talk about behaviour change. All three groups showed poor planning on goal achievement, with some noticeable differences between those with and without health risk of non-communicable diseases. Following the feedback, most participants understood that physical activity is composed of several dimensions, while around half could recognise more suitable options to change behaviour. Of the physical activity dimensions, calorie burn received more attention than others.
    Conclusions: Multidimensional physical activity feedback was considered understandable and acceptable and has the potential to support behaviour change among urban Sri Lankans with or without identified health risk. These findings highlight the feasibility of this technology-enabled approach as a personalised intervention to improve knowledge and motivation for physical activity behaviour.
