Popis: Background/aim The aim of the study was to analyze the postoperative survival of colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) with ulcerative colitis (UC), and the risk factors affecting it. Patients and methods A questionnaire including postoperative survival was sent to 88 hospitals that reported CAC patients in the literature up until January, 2006 and to members of the Research Group of Intractable Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Results The 5-year postoperative overall survival (OS) of 170 CAC patients was 74.2% which was similar to sporadic colorectal cancer in Japan (72.1%). Pathologic TNM stage, histological type, type of surgical procedure (proctocolectomy, segmental resection), and preoperative cancer surveillance were statistically significant factors for OS. By Cox regression analysis, pathologic TNM stage and proctocolectomy were statistically significant prognostic factors for OS. Conclusion In CAC with UC, the postoperative OS was similar to sporadic colorectal cancer. Pathologic TNM stage and proctocolectomy were confirmed as important prognostic factors.
