ABSTRACT

Background and aim: To construct proper and externally validate cut-off points for log odds of positive lymph nodes scheme (LODDS) staging scheme in colorectal cancer (CRC). Patients and methods: The X-tile approach was used to find the cut-off points for the novel LODDS staging scheme in 240,898 patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database and externally validated in 1,878 from the international multicenter cohort. Kaplan-Meier plot and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were performed to investigate the role of the novel LODDS classification. Results: The prognostic cut-off values were determined as -2.18, and -0.23 (P< 0.001). Patients had 5-year cancer-specific survival rates of 83.8%, 57.4% and 24.4% with increasing LODDS (P< 0.001) in the SEER database. Five-year overall survival rates were 77.2%, 55.0% and 26.7% with increasing LODDS (P< 0.001) in the external international multicenter cohort. Multivariate survival analysis identified both the LODDS classification, the patient's age, the T category, the M status, and the tumor grade as independent prognostic factors in both two independent databases. The analyses of the subgroup of patients stratified by tumor location (colon or rectum), number of retrieved lymph node (< 12 or ≥ 12), TNM stage III, lymph node-negative also confirmed the LODDS as independent prognostic factors (P< 0.001) in both two independent databases. Conclusions: The novel LODDS classification was an independent prognostic factor for patients with CRCs and should be calculated for additional risk group stratification with pN scheme.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Knowing the global incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC), by sex and age of onset, is of great importance for understanding the disease burden of CRC. METHODS: The CRC incidence data, by cancer site, age of onset, sex, country, and year, were retrieved from the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents Vol. Plus database. Estimated annual percentage changes (EAPC) were calculated to quantify the temporal trends in the CRC age-standardized incidence rate. RESULTS: Globally, the incidence of late-onset CRC was heterogeneous and remained increasing in most countries. The highest incidence of late-onset colon and rectal cancer was both found in males in Slovakia (156.5/100,000 and 121.5/100,000, respectively). The most pronounced increases were mostly observed in developing countries, such as Brazil (colon cancer: EAPC = 5.87, 95% CI 3.18, 8.63; rectal cancer: EAPC = 4.68; 95% CI 2.78, 6.62). The highest incidence of early-onset colon and rectal cancer was found in females in Switzerland (4.2/100,000) and in males in South Korea (4.6/100,000), respectively. The incidences of early-onset CRC were increased in parts of countries, including countries experiencing a decline in late-onset CRC incidence, such as the USA, Germany, and Australia. The temporal trends of colon cancer were mostly aligned with those of rectal in most countries, independent of sex and age of onset. CONCLUSION: The increase of early-onset CRC incidence suggests more prevention initiatives are urgently warranted for young adults in the near future. Targeted and effective prevention measures are still needed among elderly populations.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This study was aimed to determine the effect of the local tumor therapy on patients' prognosis in the management of metastatic rectal cancer. METHODS: Patients diagnosed with metastatic rectal cancer from 2004 to 2013 were selected from the SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) database. Overall survival and cancer-specific survival were compared between the local treatment group and the nonlocal treatment group using Kaplan-Meier methods. Uni- and multivariate analyses were further performed to confirm or deny the results. The statistical approach of propensity score matching was conducted to avoid potential confounding factors. RESULTS: Of 6867 patients included in this analysis, 3971 (57.8%) received local therapy to the primary tumor and 2896 (42.2%) did not receive. Both univariable and multivariable analysis showed local therapy continued to be associated with an improvement in OS (HR 0.532; 95% CI 0.503-0.563, p < 0.001 and HR 0.532; 95% CI 0.498-0.568, p < 0.001, respectively) and CSS (HR 0.527; 95% CI 0.497-0.559, p < 0.001 and HR 0.521; 95% CI 0.487-0.557, p < 0.001, respectively) in the unmatched cohorts. Further analysis showed patients underwent local tumor destruction or surgical resection had a better overall survival compared with those who did not undergo (p < 0.001). In the matched population, patients receiving local therapy had a better OS (HR 0.427; 95% CI 0.428-0.519, p < 0.001) and CSS (HR 0.462; 95% CI 0.418-0.511, p < 0.001) compared with those who did not receive. CONCLUSIONS: Local therapy to the primary tumor may be associated with a better survival in patients with metastatic rectal cancer.
