[PMID: 38130619 PMCID: PMC10731193 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v11.i35.8343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2023] [Revised: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Synchronous colorectal carcinomas (SCRC) are two or more primary colorectal carcinomas identified simultaneously or within 6 mo of the initial presentation in a single patient. Their incidence is low and the number of pathological types of SCRC is usually no more than two. It is very unusual that the pathological findings of a patient with SCRC show more than two different pathological subtypes. Here, we report a rare case of SCRC with three pathological subtypes. CASE SUMMARY A 75-year-old woman who had no previous medical history or family history was admitted to the hospital because of intermittent hematochezia for more than a month. Colonoscopy displayed an irregularly shaped neoplasm of the rectum, a tumor-like lesion causing intestinal stenosis in the descending colon, and a polypoidal neoplasm in the ileocecum. Subsequently, she underwent total colectomy, abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer, and ileostomy. After operation, the pathological report showed three pathological subtypes including well-differentiated adenocarcinoma of the ascending colon, moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the descending colon, and mucinous adenocarcinoma of the rectum. She is now recovering well and continues to be closely monitored during follow-up. CONCLUSION Preoperative colonoscopy examination, imaging examination, and extensive intraoperative exploration play important roles in reducing the number of missed lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognosis of synchronous and metachronous multiple primary colorectal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who underwent operation for synchronous and metachronous colorectal cancer at the colorectal surgery department of Shanghai Changhai Hospital between January 2000 and December 2021 were included. Perioperative indicators were comprehensively compared and included in the survival analyses. RESULTS In total, 563 patients with synchronous ( n =372) and metachronous ( n =191) colorectal cancer were included. Patients with synchronous colorectal cancer were more likely to have a long onset time, positive carcinoembryonic antigen, advanced TNM stage, large tumor, perineural invasion, p53 high expression, and mismatch repair proficient. Compared with metachronous colorectal cancer, patients with synchronous colorectal cancer showed worse 5-year overall survival (68.6±3.0% vs 81.9±3.5%, P =0.018) and 5-year disease-free survival (61.2±3.1% vs 71.0±3.9%, P =0.022). In the subgroup analysis, segmental resection was an independent risk factor for the long-term outcomes of bilateral synchronous colorectal cancer. CONCLUSIONS Clinicopathological and molecular features were different between synchronous and metachronous colorectal cancer. Patients with synchronous colorectal cancer showed a worse prognosis than those with metachronous colorectal cancer. Bilateral synchronous colorectal cancer requires extended resection to achieve improved long-term outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Synchronous multiple primary colorectal cancer (SMPCC) is a rare subtype of CRC, characterized by the presence of two or more primary CRC lesions simultaneously or within 6 months from the detection of the first lesion. We aim to develop a novel nomogram to predict OS and CSS for SMPCC patients using data from the SEER database. METHODS The clinical variables and survival data of SMPCC patients between 2004 and 2018 were retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Appropriate inclusion and exclusion criteria were established to screen the enrolled patients. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to identify the independent risk factors for OS and CSS. The performance of the nomogram was evaluated using the concordance index (C-index), calibration curves, and the area under the curve (AUC) of a receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC). A decision curve analysis (DCA) was generated to compare the net benefits of the nomogram with those of the TNM staging system. RESULTS A total of 6772 SMPCC patients were enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to the training (n = 4670) and validation (n = 2002) cohorts. Multivariate Cox analysis confirmed that race, marital status, age, histology, tumor position, T stage, N stage, M stage, chemotherapy, and the number of dissected LNs were independent prognostic factors.The C-index values for OS and CSS prediction were 0.716 (95% CI 0.705-0.727) and 0.718 (95% CI 0.702-0.734) in the training cohort, and 0.760 (95% CI 0.747-0.773) and 0.749 (95% CI 0.728-0.769) in the validation cohort. The ROC and calibration curves indicated that the model had good stability and reliability. Decision curve analysis revealed that the nomograms provided a more significant clinical net benefit than the TNM staging system. CONCLUSION We developed a novel nomogram for clinicians to predict OS and CSS, which could be used to optimize the treatment in SMPCC patients.

[PMID: 37742947 DOI: 10.1016/j.humpath.2023.09.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2023] [Revised: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
Multiple primary colorectal carcinomas (CRCs) synchronous, when detected approximately at the same time, or metachronous, when a significant amount of time has elapsed between diagnoses can show both mismatch repair (MMR) status concordance and discordance between primary tumors. The aim was to evaluate the MMR status of a monoinstitutional, retrospective cohort of synchronous and metachronous CRCs, with a focus on the frequency of cases with discordant MMR status, and explore the MMR status of metastatic nodal deposits. All synchronous and metachronous CRCs diagnosed in our institution between 2011 and 2023 were collected. Clinicopathologic characteristics were evaluated, including MMR status of all CRCs, BRAF mutation, and MLH1 promoter methylation analyses. MMR status discordant cases were further analyzed, and MMR testing was performed on nodal metastases. Of 3671 patients, 107 (2.9%) had multiple CRCs (94 synchronous and 13 metachronous; total number of CRCs 220). Sixty CRCs were MMR deficient (dMMR) (27.3%), and most were right-sided and high-grade and showed special histologic features (P < .00001). Ninety-three patients showed intertumoral MMR concordance: 70 (65.4%) with MMR-proficient (pMMR) CRCs, and 23 (21.5%) were dMMR. Fourteen patients (13.1%) showed intertumoral MMR discordance (at least one dMMR and one pMMR), and in 5 patients, nodal metastases were present: 2 patients harbored metastases only from their pMMR cancer, 2 only from their dMMR cancer, and in 1 patient both pMMR and dMMR metastases were present. In conclusion, all multiple primary CRCs should be analyzed for MMR status as discordant MMR is possible as well as discordant metastatic nodal deposits, and this may be important for patient management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Synchronous multiple primary colorectal cancer (SMPCC) involves the simultaneous occurrence of 2 or more independent primary malignant tumors in the colon or rectum. Although SMPCC is rare, it results in a higher incidence of postoperative complications and mortality compared to patients with single primary colorectal cancer (SPCRC). METHODS The clinical factors and survival outcomes of SMPCC patients registered on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2000 and 2017 were extracted. The patients were divided into the training and validation cohorts using a ratio of 7:3. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the independent risk factors for early death. The performance of the nomogram was evaluated using the concordance index (C-index), calibration curves, and the area under the curve (AUC) of a receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC). A decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the clinical utility of the nomogram and standard TNM system. RESULTS A total of 4386 SMPCC patients were enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to the training (n = 3070) and validation (n = 1316) cohorts. The multivariate logistic analysis identified age, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, T stage, N stage, and M stage as independent risk factors for all-cause and cancer-specific early death. The marital status was associated with all-cause early death, and the tumor grade was associated with cancer-specific early death. In the training cohort, the nomogram achieved a C-index of 0.808 (95% CI, 0.784-0.832) and 0.843 (95% CI, 0.816-0.870) for all-cause and cancer-specific early death, respectively. Following validation, the C-index was 0.797 (95% CI, 0.758-0.837) for all-cause early death and 0.832 (95% CI, 0.789-0.875) for cancer-specific early death. The ROC and calibration curves indicated that the model had good stability and reliability. The DCA showed that the nomogram had a better clinical net value than the TNM staging system. CONCLUSION Our nomogram can provide a simple and accurate tool for clinicians to predict the risk of early death in SMPCC patients undergoing surgery and could be used to optimize the treatment according to the patient's needs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Determine the usefulness of [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18 FDG-PET/CT) in the preoperative setting of colorectal cancer (CRC), assessing its impact on changes in management strategy. METHODS Retrospective study of CRC patients who underwent preoperative 18 FDG-PET/CT and CT staging scans in a single referral center. The agreement between 18 FDG-PET/CT, contrast-enhanced CT, and colonoscopy for the surgical location was compared using the κ coefficient. Maximum standardized uptake (SUVmax ) value was obtained. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted. RESULTS One hundred ninety-five patients were included. 18 FDG-PET/CT improved tumor localization in 84.6% (165/195) of cases (κ value 0.798, p < 0.001), thus correcting endoscopic errors 69.7% (30/43) of the time. In patients with incomplete colonoscopies, 18 FDG-PET/CT detected synchronous tumors in 2.5% (5/195) patients, overlooked by CT staging scans. Based on extracolonic 18 FDG-uptake, the second primary malignancy was diagnosed in 7(3.6%,7/195) patients and total accuracy for lymph node and distant metastasis was 66.1% and 98.4%, respectively. The treatment plan was altered in 30 (15.4%, 30/196) patients. There was a significant association between the SUVmax and tumor size (odds ratio [OR] 4.254, p = 0.003) and the depth of tumor invasion (OR 1.696, p = 0.026). CONCLUSIONS Based on its ability to aid in preoperative evaluation and definitively alter surgical treatment planning, 18 FDG-PET/CT should be further evaluated in primary CRC.

Surgical outcomes of left hemicolon sparing resection versus extensive resection in treating synchronous colorectal cancer involving the right-sided colon and sigmoid colon or rectum. World J Surg Oncol 2023; 21:131. [PMID: 37055785 PMCID: PMC10099680 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-023-03012-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There are different surgical strategies that can treat synchronous colorectal cancer (SCRC) involving separate segments, namely extensive resection (EXT) and left hemicolon-sparing resection (LHS). We aim to comparatively analyze short-term surgical results, bowel function, and long-term oncological outcomes between SCRC patients treated with the two different surgical strategies. METHODS One hundred thirty-eight patients with SCRC lesions located in the right hemicolon and rectum or sigmoid colon were collected at the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and the Peking University First Hospital from January 2010 to August 2021 and divided into EXT group (n = 35) and LHS group (n = 103), depending on their surgical strategies. These two groups of patients were compared for postoperative complications, bowel function, the incidence of metachronous cancers, and prognosis. RESULTS The operative time for the LHS group was markedly shorter compared with the EXT group (268.6 vs. 316.9 min, P = 0.015). The post-surgery incidences of total Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ II complications and anastomotic leakage (AL) were 8.7 vs. 11.4% (P = 0.892) and 4.9 vs. 5.7% (P = 1.000) for the LHS and EXT groups, respectively. The mean number of daily bowel movements was significantly lower for the LHS group than for the EXT group (1.3 vs. 3.8, P < 0.001). The proportions of no low anterior resection syndrome (LARS), minor LARS, and major LARS for the LHS and EXT groups were 86.5 vs. 80.0%, 9.6 vs. 0%, and 3.8 vs. 20.0%, respectively (P = 0.037). No metachronous cancer was found in the residual left colon during the 51-month (median duration) follow-up period. The overall and disease-free survival rates at 5 years were 78.8% and 77.5% for the LHS group and 81.7% and 78.6% for the EXT group (P = 0.565, P = 0.712), respectively. Multivariate analysis further confirmed N stage, but not surgical strategy, as the risk factor that independently affected the patients' survival. CONCLUSIONS LHS appears to be a more appropriate surgical strategy for SCRC involving separate segments because it exhibited shorter operative time, no increase in the risk of AL and metachronous cancer, and no adverse long-term survival outcomes. More importantly, it could better retain bowel function and tended to reduce the severity of LARS and therefore improve the post-surgery life quality of SCRC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are no robust tools for the diagnosis of synchronous colorectal cancer (SyCRC). Herein, we developed the first methylation signature to identify and characterise patients with SyCRC. METHODS For biomarker discovery, we analysed the genome-wide methylation profiles of 16 SyCRC and 18 solitary colorectal cancer (SoCRC) specimens. We thereafter established a methylation signature risk-scoring model to identify SyCRC in an independent cohort of 38 SyCRC and 42 SoCRC patients. In addition, we evaluated the prognostic value of the identified methylation profile. RESULTS We identified six differentially methylated CpG probes/sites that distinguished SyCRC from SoCRC. In the validation cohort, we developed a methylation panel that identified patients with SyCRC from not only larger tumour (AUC = 0.91) but also the paired remaining tumour (AUC = 0.93). Moreover, high risk scores of our panel were associated with the development of metachronous CRC among patients with SyCRC (AUC = 0.87) and emerged as an independent predictor for relapse-free survival (hazard ratio = 2.72; 95% CI = 1.12-6.61). Furthermore, the risk stratification model which combined with clinical risk factors was a diagnostic predictor of recurrence (AUC = 0.90). CONCLUSIONS Our novel six-gene methylation panel robustly identifies patients with SyCRC, which has the clinical potential to improve the diagnosis and management of patients with CRC.

[PMID: 35977984 PMCID: PMC9385743 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-18258-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to establish a nomogram for the prediction of cancer-specific survival (CSS) of CRC patients with synchronous LM. The final prognostic nomogram based on prognostic factors was evaluated by concordance index (C-index), time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves, and calibration curves. In the training and validation groups, the C-index for the nomogram was 0.648 and 0.638, and the AUC was 0.793 and 0.785, respectively. The high quality of the calibration curves in the nomogram models for CSS at 1-, 3-, and 5-year was observed. The nomogram model provided a conventional and useful tool to evaluate the 1-, 3-, and 5-year CSS of CRC patients with synchronous LM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Synchronous colonic cancer incidence is uncommon, and awareness about this rare condition is improved recently. However, in the presence of acute colonic obstruction, investigation and management of synchronous colonic cancer can be difficult and challenging.
CASE SUMMARY A patient presented with acute colonic obstruction with impending rupture and complete examination of this patient revealed the presence of three colonic cancers, of which two were completely occluding.
CONCLUSION The presence of multiple colonic cancers must be ruled out in order to plan the best management. We present the case with a review of literature and discuss the management of the case.

Retrospective study of prognosis of patients with multiple colorectal carcinomas: synchronous versus metachronous makes the difference. Int J Colorectal Dis 2021; 36:1487-1498. [PMID: 33855608 PMCID: PMC8195964 DOI: 10.1007/s00384-021-03926-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 04/06/2021] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Little is known about difference between synchronous colorectal cancer (SCRC) and metachronous colorectal cancer (MCRC) despite the relevance for this selected patient group. The aim of this retrospective review was to analyze patients with SCRC and MCRC. METHODS All patients who underwent surgery for SCRC and MCRC between 1982 and 2019 were included in this retrospective analysis of our tertiary referral center. Clinical, histological, and molecular genetic characteristics were analyzed. The primary endpoint was cause-specific survival, evaluated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Secondary endpoints were recurrence-free survival and the identification of prognostic factors. RESULTS Overall, 3714 patients were included in this analysis. Of those, 3506 (94.4%) had a primary unifocal colorectal cancer (PCRC), 103 (2.7%) had SCRC, and 105 (2.8%) had MCRC. SCRC occurred more frequently in elderly (p=0.009) and in male patients (p=0.027). There were no differences concerning tumor stages or grading. Patients with SCRC did not show altered recurrence or survival rates, as compared to unifocal tumors. However, MCRC had a lower rate of recurrence, compared to PCRC (24% vs. 41%, p=0.002) and a lower rate of cause-specific death (13% vs. 37%, p<0.001). Five-year cause-specific survival rates were 63±1% for PCRC, 62±6% for SCRC (p=0.588), and 88±4% for MCRC (p<0.001). Multivariable analysis revealed that MCRC were an independent favorable prognostic parameter regarding case-specific survival. CONCLUSION Patients with SCRC seem to not have a worse prognosis compared to patients with PCRC. Noteworthy, patients with MCRC showed better survival rates in this retrospective analysis.

Abstract
Synchronous quadruple colorectal cancer (CRC) is extremely rare without genetic alterations. We present a case of synchronous quadruple CRC with 2 lesions previously obscured by ischemic colitis. A 73-year-old woman was admitted to our emergency department. An abdominal computed tomography revealed ischemic colitis and irregular wall thickening of the sigmoid colon and sigmoid-descending junction, suspicious of 2 colon cancers. A colonoscopy examination revealed a fungating mass 20 cm from the anal verge, as well as ischemic colitis spanning the mucosa from the sigmoid colon to the transverse colon. The patient underwent laparoscopic Hartmann procedure. Pathologic examination confirmed both lesions as adenocarcinomas with microsatellite stable. Seven months postoperatively, instead of a laparoscopic Hartmann reversal, a laparoscopic total colectomy was performed due to the continued presence of severe ischemic colitis. The pathologic report suggested the presence of 2 distinct invasive adenocarcinomas in the descending colon without genetic alterations such as microsatellite instability.

A Retrospective Study of Risk Factors for Symptomatic Anastomotic Leakage after Laparoscopic Anterior Resection of the Rectal Cancer without a Diverting Stoma. Gastroenterol Res Pract 2020; 2020:4863542. [PMID: 32351555 PMCID: PMC7174905 DOI: 10.1155/2020/4863542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2020] [Accepted: 03/21/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a common and devastating postoperative issue for patients who have undergone anterior resection of rectal carcinoma and can lead to increased short-term morbidity and mortality. Moreover, it might be associated with a worse oncological prognosis of tumors. This study is aimed at exploring the risk factors for symptomatic AL after laparoscopic anterior resection (LAR) for rectal tumors without a preventive diverting stoma. Materials and Methods This case control study retrospectively reviewed the data of 496 consecutive patients who underwent LAR of the rectum without a preventive diverting stoma at the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between September 2016 and September 2017. All patients were divided into an AL group and a control group based on the occurrence of postoperative symptomatic AL. Factors regarding patient-related variables, operation-related variables, and tumor-related variables were collected and assessed between the two groups through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses to identify independent risk factors for AL. Results In total, 18 (3.6%) patients developed postoperative symptomatic AL. Univariate analysis showed that a synchronous primary malignancy of the left hemicolon (P = 0.047), intraoperative chemotherapy (P = 0.003), and level of anastomosis (P = 0.033) were significantly related with AL. Multivariate analysis was subsequently performed to adjust for confounding biases and confirmed that a synchronous primary malignancy of the left hemicolon (odds ratio (OR), 12.225; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.764-84.702; P = 0.011), intraoperative chemotherapy (OR, 3.931; 95% CI, 1.334-11.583; P = 0.013), and level of anastomosis (OR, 3.224; 95% CI, 1.124-9.249; P = 0.030) were independent risk factors for symptomatic AL for patients who received LAR for rectal neoplasms without a preventive diverting stoma. Conclusions Synchronous primary malignancy of the left hemicolon, intraoperative chemotherapy, and a low anastomotic level can increase the risks of postoperative symptomatic AL after LAR of the rectum without a protective diverting stoma.

Common habitual behaviors and synchronous colorectal cancer risk: a retrospective case-control study. Int J Colorectal Dis 2019; 34:1421-1430. [PMID: 31278528 DOI: 10.1007/s00384-019-03326-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 05/30/2019] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The association of habitual behaviors with the prevalence of synchronous colorectal cancer (sCRC) is unknown. Here, we investigated whether these behaviors, which are known risk factors for colorectal polyps, may be related to sCRC risk. METHODS We enrolled 17,093 patients who underwent cancer treatment between January 1995 and December 2016 and examined the association of age, sex, familial history of hereditary colorectal cancer (CRC), and status of three common habitual behaviors (smoking and alcohol and coffee consumption) with the prevalence of sCRC. RESULTS Of the enrolled patients, 960 (5.6%) patients had sCRC. The independent risk factors for sCRC prevalence included advanced age, male sex, hereditary CRC, smoking, and daily alcohol consumption of more than one bottle (> 600 mL). Contrary to these factors, daily coffee consumption of more than one cup seemed to provide a protection from sCRC. In the Kaplan-Meier test, the significantly worse 5-year overall survival (OS) was noted in smokers with stage 0-III CRC. The effect of alcohol consumption on 5-year OS was significant in stages II and III. Compared with those without daily coffee consumption, patients with daily coffee consumption had significantly higher 5-year OS in stages I (93.0% vs. 86.4%), II (87.1% vs. 77.2%), III (71.5% vs. 61.9%), and IV (18.0% vs. 13.0%). CONCLUSIONS sCRC prevalence was significantly associated with habitual behaviors. Patients with smoking or with daily alcohol consumption of one bottle had higher sCRC prevalence than did those without these habits. Coffee consumption could be a protective factor for lowering sCRC risk.
