Popis: Some patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer (CRC) do not undergo tumor resection. Little is known about survival of these non-curatively managed patients. The aim of this study is to report all-cause mortality and to identify which factors are associated with survival in these patients.A retrospective review of electronic medical records was performed in two hospitals in the Netherlands. Patients diagnosed with CRC without distant metastases (radiologically determined stage I-III) and managed without tumor resection between 2011 and 2017 were included. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. The effect of several variables on survival was evaluated with a multivariate logistic regression.Of the 107 patients with stage I-III CRC that did not undergo resection of the primary tumor, 80% died within two years; median survival time was 8.5 months (IQR 2.5-22 months). Malnutrition risk (OR 6.36 (CI 1.21-33.25); p = 0.03) and comorbidity burden (OR 1.51 (CI 1.05-2.18 p = 0.03) were significantly associated with decreased survival after two years in a multivariate model. Age and disease stage were not. When treatment decision was mainly patient driven instead of based on the multi-disciplinary tumor board's decision, survival was longer (mean overall survival 16 months vs 10 months, respectively) p0.05.Survival of patients with radiologically determined stage I-III CRC who did not undergo surgical resection was approximately 20% at two years and associated with the number of comorbidities, malnutrition risk status and dependent living, but not with age or disease stage.
