Abstract
Background We recently reported the relapse-free survival (RFS) significance of the combination of CD4+ and forkhead box P3+ (FOXP3) T-cell densities identified by immunohistochemistry in patients with stage I, II, and III colorectal cancer (CRC) who underwent curative resections. This study was designed to determine the optimal combination of markers that predict recurrence in patients with T factors of T3/T4a stage II CRC by applying a novel Bayes decision rule. Methods Using 137 cancer tissue specimens from T3/T4a stage II patients, 12 clinicopathologic and immune factors were analysed as predictive candidates for recurrence. Results Our study showed that the combination of low CD4+ and low FOXP3+ T-cell densities resulted in extremely poor RFS. Conclusions Adjuvant chemotherapy may be considered for patients with a combination of low CD4+ and low FOXP3+ T-cell densities. The discovery of this new prognostic indicator is important for the appropriate management of patients undergoing curative resection for T3/T4a stage II CRC.

Comparison of laparoscopic and open colectomy for splenic flexure colon cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Int J Colorectal Dis 2022; 37:757-767. [PMID: 35303158 DOI: 10.1007/s00384-022-04127-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 03/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study examined the short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic and open splenic flexure colon cancer (SFCC) surgery. METHOD Systematic literature searches were performed in PubMed and Ovid to compare laparoscopic and open colectomy for SFCC. The last search was conducted on November 7, 2021. Surgical and survival outcomes were collected and analyzed. This meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager Software (v 5.3). RESULTS This study included seven publications with 2397 patients published between 2011 and 2021. A significant difference in operative time was seen in the laparoscopic group (P = 0.01, WMD = 50.13, 95%CI [10.32, 89.94], I2 = 97%); loss of blood estimated (P < 0.001, WMD = -101.88, 95%CI [-161.65, -42.11], I2 = 82%) and the incidence of overall complications (P < 0.001, OR = 0.53, 95%CI [0.38, 0.75], I2 = 0%) of laparoscopic procedure were greatly decreased. There were similar results as compared in the two groups in terms of lymph node harvesting (P = 0.71, WMD = 0.49, 95%CI [-2.13, 3.12], I2 = 93%) and the distance of proximal (P = 0.50, WMD = -1.09, 95%CI [-4.26, 2.08], I2 = 96%) or distal (P = 0.18, WMD = 2.44, 95%CI [-1.13, 6.01], I2 = 97%) resection margin. In addition, no significant differences were observed on overall/disease-free survival over 3/5 years between the two procedures. An analysis of subgroups that used propensity matching scores produced similar results. CONCLUSION The laparoscopic procedure is clinically safe and feasible for SFCC. It shows the advantages in decreasing intraoperative blood loss and overall complications, and the long-term survival outcomes would not be affected. Randomized clinical trials with a larger sample size are warranted in the future for further investigation.
