Objective: To observe the factors related to survival and prognosis of patients with resectable stage T4 colorectal cancer. Methods : 148 patients with resectable stage T4 colorectal cancer who underwent surgery in the first Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between August, 1994 and December, 2005 were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses of associations between clinicopathological variables and survival were analyzed using the Cox regression model. Results: At the end of December of 2010 or death, the 5-year and 10 years OS rates were 49.0% and 32.2% respectively, the median OS was 25 months. The disease free survival rates (DFS) at 5 and 10 years were 44.2% and 30.3% respectively. In univariate analysis, patients with postoperative pathology lymph node metastasis was associated with the prognosis of patients with OS (all P< 0.01), postoperative adjuvant therapy failed to improve OS and DFS (P>0.05). Postoperative pathology lymph node metastasis was associated with DFS too (all P< 0.01). In multivariate analysis, postoperative pathology lymph node metastasis was independent factor affected OS and DFS in colorectal cancer patients. Conclusion: Postoperative prognosis of T4 colorectal cancer patients is poor, postoperative pathology lymph node positive was an independent factor affect OS and DFS. |
