Abstrakt: Objectives: This study evaluated pretreatment magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-detected extramural venous invasion (pmrEMVI) as a predictor of survival after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).
Materials and Methods: Medical records of 1184 patients with rectal adenocarcinoma who underwent TME between January 2011 and December 2016 were reviewed. MRI data were collected from a computerized radiologic database. Cox proportional hazards analysis was used to assess local, systemic recurrence, and disease-free survival risk based on pretreatment MRI-assessed tumor characteristics. After propensity score matching (PSM) for pretreatment MRI features, nCRT therapeutic outcomes according to pmrEMVI status were evaluated. Cox proportional hazards analysis was used to identify risk factors for early recurrence in patients receiving nCRT.
Results: Median follow-up was 62.8 months. Among all patients, the presence of pmrEMVI was significantly associated with worse disease-free survival (DFS; HR 1.827, 95% CI 1.285-2.597, p = 0.001) and systemic recurrence (HR 2.080, 95% CI 1.400-3.090, p < 0.001) but not local recurrence. Among patients with pmrEMVI, nCRT provided no benefit for oncological outcomes before or after PSM. Furthermore, pmrEMVI( +) was the only factor associated with early recurrence on multivariate analysis in patients receiving nCRT.
Conclusions: pmrEMVI is a poor prognostic factor for DFS and SR in patients with non-metastatic rectal cancer and also serves as a predictive biomarker of poor DFS and SR following nCRT in LARC. Therefore, for patients who are positive for pmrEMVI, consideration of alternative treatment strategies may be warranted.
Clinical Relevance Statement: This study demonstrated the usefulness of pmrEMVI as a predictive biomarker for nCRT, which may assist in initial treatment decision-making in patients with non-metastatic rectal cancer.
Key Points: • Pretreatment MRI-detected extramural venous invasion (pmrEMVI) was significantly associated with worse disease-free survival and systemic recurrence in patients with non-metastatic rectal cancer. • pmrEMVI is a predictive biomarker of poor DFS following nCRT in patients with LARC. • The presence of pmrEMVI was the only factor associated with early recurrence on multivariate analysis in patients receiving nCRT.
