Talk:Retroperitoneal space

According to the anatomy course I am in now, the rectum is secondary retroperitoneal, not primary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.203.126.65 (talk) 17:50, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Fix the mnemonic for retroperitoneal structures. (C for Colon) The ascending and descending colon are both retroperitoneal (albeit secondarily, just like the duodenum).

Removed the phrase "Retroperitoneal cancer has one of the lowest survival rates of all cancers." Upon reviewing the cited source, it is Pancreatic cancer, not Retroperitoneum cancer that has the lowest survival rate. Retroperitoneum cancer has a 51.9% total survival rate, while Pancreatic cancer is 5%. This may have been easily confused as the survival rate for Pancreatic cancer is listed superior to Retroperitoneum cancer.
