Oncologic outcomes of multivisceral resection for locally advanced colorectal cancer: a single-center retrospective cohort study
摘要
This study was aimed to evaluate the impact of multivisceral resection (MVR) on the oncologic outcomes of patients with locally advanced colorectal cancer.
MethodsWe conducted a retrospective review of patients who underwent surgical resection between 2011 and 2020. Patients were divided into two groups: the MVR group and the standard resection group. Prognostic factors were compared, and the effect of MVR on oncologic outcomes was assessed.
ResultsAmong 625 patients, 108 underwent MVR. The MVR group showed a significantly lower rate of lymph node metastasis (51.9% vs. 72.5%, p < 0.001), lymphovascular invasion (25.9% vs. 42.8%, p = 0.001), and perineural invasion (45.4% vs. 73.2%, p < 0.001) compared to the standard resection group. Postoperative complications were more frequent in the MVR group (57.4% vs. 26.9%, p < 0.001). Three-year disease-free survival (68.6% vs. 62.7%, p = 0.743) and overall survival (OS) (80.9% vs. 85.0%, p = 0.290) were comparable between the two groups. Multivariable analysis identified lymph node metastasis, perineural invasion, R2 resection, and absence of adjuvant chemotherapy as independent poor prognostic factors for OS.
ConclusionsThe MVR group showed a significantly lower rate of lymph node metastasis and comparable oncologic outcomes. Therefore, when adjacent organ invasion is suspected, an aggressive en-bloc MVR should be considered to achieve radical resection.
