I have just recieved a diagnosis of stage 3 mucinous adenocarcinoma of the caecum, following an emergency right hemicolectomy to remove the blockage. I am not due to see my oncologist until 7 September, but am struggling to find any information on mucinous adenocarcinomas in particular and wonder if any of you lovely people have information / experience or knowledge you can share. Feeling a bit in limbo and want to be informed to ensure we are asking the right questions at my appointment. Thank you

Hi Amanda16

Have you found this explanation.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30922401/

It explains a bit about the cell type in the extract .

What is relevant is the fact it mentions MSI and over covid treatments were released called immunotherapies which are really helpful . Might not apply to you as I don’t know much about it but it might be a good question for your discussion with your oncologist.

Take care and great to hear you have had successful surgery . That’s the gold standard .
