Clinical and pathologic prognostic factors affecting local recurrence and overall survival in 1 166 rectal cancer resection patients / 中华普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinicopathologic factors impacting recurrence and survival in rectal cancer patients after radical resection.Methods Clinicopathologic data of 1 166 patients with rectal cancer in Changhai Hospital,were recruited between 2005 and 2010.Kaplan-Meier analysis and the logrank test were used to evaluate the effects of the pathology on patients' survival.Cox regression model was used to assess independent factors associated with clinical prognosis.Results The 1,3,5-year overall survival rates were 94.3％,81.2％ and 76.5％,median survival time was 53 months.328 patients had recurrence and metastases,with a median recurrence time of 18 months.The independent prognostic factors for overall survival time were CEA,CA19-9,tumor distance to dentate line,surgical modality,radical operation,tumor invasion,tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis and postoperative treatment.Surgical treatment,radical operation or not,tumor invasion and lymph node metastasis were statistically significant associated with tumor recurrence and metastases.Conclusions The important factors inffuencing the prognosis of rectal cancer patients were CEA,CA19-9,tumor distance to dentate line,surgical modality,radial operation,tumor in vasion,tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis,and post operative treatment.
