Gastrointestinal disorders and treatments

A 71-year-old woman was admitted due to recurrent lower gastrointestinal bleeding. She had undergone segmental colonic resection and adjuvant chemotherapy for colon adenocarcinoma 10 years earlier, without recurrence on follow-up. She reported experiencing several self-limited episodes of hematochezia over the past 6 months, without other symptoms.
