Malignant neoplasm of colon, treated
Hospital course note
Dear colleague, I am writing to inform you regarding our mutual patient, a 64-year-old
female, admitted on 04/08/2023 for investigation and management of a malignant neoplasm
of the colon. Following admission, diagnostic workup included colonoscopy with biopsy,
CT staging of chest, abdomen and pelvis, and laboratory investigations including tumour
markers. Histopathological analysis confirmed colorectal adenocarcinoma. Staging indicated
localised disease suitable for surgical resection. The patient underwent elective
hemicolectomy without significant intraoperative complications. Postoperative recovery
was satisfactory, with adequate pain management and early mobilisation achieved. The
patient was discharged home on 05/08/2023 in stable condition. Oncology follow-up
has been arranged, and we recommend continued monitoring of bowel function, wound
care, and routine blood tests. Please do not hesitate to contact us should further
information be required.
