摘要

Objectives

The oncologic outcomes of pedunculated-type T1 colorectal cancer (CRC) remain unknown. We determined the risk factors for lymph node metastasis (LNM) and recurrence and evaluated the survival according to the treatment method.

Methods

In this multicenter retrospective study involving 4673 patients with T1 CRC, we analyzed 444 patients with pedunculated-type T1 CRC treated between 2009 and 2016. Treatment included local resection (LR) alone (n = 169), surgery with lymph node (LN) dissection alone (n = 83), and LR followed by additional surgery with LN dissection (n = 192). Factors associated with LNM and recurrence, relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) by treatment were analyzed. The median follow-up period was 64 months.

Results

LNM and recurrence were observed in 25 (5.6%) and 13 (2.9%) cases, respectively. Submucosal invasion depth ≥ 1000 μm (p = 0.0036), positive lymphovascular invasion (p = 0.0007), and budding grade 2/3 (p = 0.0171) were risk factors for LNM. The risk factor for recurrence was tumor size ≥ 20 mm (HR 5.488; 95% CI 1.199–25.12; p = 0.028) in a multivariate analysis. The 5-year RFS rates were 92.5% for LR alone, 94.3% for LR+ surgery, and 90.5% for surgery alone; the 5-year OS rates were 93.1%, 97.1%, and 94.0%, respectively, with no significant difference.

Conclusion

Even in the specific subset of pedunculated-type T1 CRC, submucosal invasion depth ≥ 1000 μm and budding grade 2/3 are risk factors for LNM. Tumors ≥ 20 mm require careful surveillance for recurrence risk. High RFS and OS rates in LR-alone and LR+ surgery groups suggest LR is appropriate for pedunculated lesions.
