Abstract
AIM This study aimed to evaluate the association of age and postoperative morbidity on 5-year overall survival (OS) after elective surgery for colorectal cancer. METHOD Patients undergoing elective, curatively intended surgery for colorectal cancer Union for International Cancer Control Stages I-III between January 2014 and December 2019 were selected from four Danish nationwide healthcare databases. Patients were divided into four groups: group I 65-69 years old; group II 70-74 years old; group III 75-79 years old; and group IV ≥80 years old. Propensity score matching was used to reduce potential confounding bias. The primary outcome was the association of age and postoperative morbidity with 5-year OS. The secondary outcome was conditional survival, given that the patient had already survived the first 90 days after surgery. RESULTS After propensity score matching with a 1:1 ratio, group II contained 2221 patients; group III 952 patients; and group IV 320 patients. There was no significant difference in 5-year OS between group I (reference) and groups II and III (P = 0.4 and P = 0.9, respectively). Patients with severe postoperative complications within 30 days after surgery had a significantly decreased OS (P < 0.01); however, when patients who died within the first 90 days were excluded from the analysis, the differences in 5-year OS were less pronounced across all age groups. CONCLUSION Postoperative morbidity, and not patient age, was associated with a lower 5-year OS. Long-term survival for patients who experience a complication is similar to patients who did not have a complication when conditioning on 90 days of survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic resection is the ideal treatment of colon cancer. The aim of the study was to analyze the predictive factors for postoperative complications and their impact on oncologic outcomes in laparoscopic resections in colon cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS In all patients undergoing elective laparoscopic surgery the number and degree of severity of postoperative complications were recorded and classified according to Clavien-Dindo. A univariate analysis was made of the demographic, surgical, and oncologic variables of patients with and without complications. The statistically significant variables were then entered into a multivariate model. In both groups overall and disease-free survival were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier estimates. RESULTS Of 524 patients, 138 (26.3%) experienced some type of complication, 110 less severe (79.7%) and 28 (20.4%) severe. Twenty-nine conversions to open surgery occurred (5.5%) and hospital mortality was 0.2%.In the multivariate analysis, use of corticosteroids [odds ratio (OR): 3.619], oral anticoagulants (OR: 3.49), blood transfusions (OR: 4.30), and conversion to open surgery (OR: 3.93) were significantly associated with the development of complications. However, sigmoid resections were associated with fewer complications (OR: 0.45).Overall 5-year and 10-year survival in both groups, was 83.3%, 74.1%, 76.0%, and 67.1%, respectively (P=0.18). Disease-free survival at 5 and 10 years, excluding stage IV tumors, was 88.6% and 90.4%, respectively (P=0.881). CONCLUSIONS The use of corticosteroids, oral anticoagulants, blood transfusions, and conversion to open surgery are all independent predictive factors of postoperative complications. Sigmoid resections are associated with fewer complications. In laparoscopic resections of the colon, complications do not negatively affect long-term oncologic outcomes.

Abstract
Background and objective The incidence of post-surgical complications (PSCs) after curative resection of non-metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) is very widespread and evident. Some studies suggest that PSCs often predict poor long-term oncological outcomes. However, the available data on the topic is often controversial. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to study the effect of postoperative complications (POCs) on long-term oncological outcomes following curative resection of non-metastatic (stage I-III) CRC. Methods A comprehensive search of MEDLINE® and Excerpta Medica dataBASE (EMBASE) databases was performed via the Ovid platform, by using controlled vocabulary as well as natural language terms for POCs, outcomes, and CRC. Two authors independently screened the studies and extracted data. Conflicts were resolved by discussion among authors and also independently with the help of a third author. Meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model (REM) to calculate pooled estimates for overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and overall recurrence. Results Overall, 3,836 studies were initially screened, and 16 studies involving 37,192 patients were ultimately selected for final inclusion in the analysis. Meta-analysis of these studies showed that PSCs following non-metastatic CRC surgery predicted worse OS rates [hazard ratio (HR): 1.36; 95% CI: 1.15-1.61; p<0.00001], DFS (HR: 1.41; 95% CI: 1.11-1.80; p<0.00001), and overall recurrence (HR: 1.19; 95% CI: 1.04-1.37; p=0.01). Conclusion Based on our findings, PSCs predict poor OS rates, DFS, and overall recurrence following curative resection of non-metastatic CRC.

Significance of the 7th postoperative day neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in colorectal cancer. Int J Colorectal Dis 2020; 35:119-124. [PMID: 31797097 DOI: 10.1007/s00384-019-03463-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 11/14/2019] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE High neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a marker of systemic inflammation and is associated with poor survival in localized or metastatic cancer. Preoperative NLR in colorectal cancer reportedly correlates with recurrence-free survival and is useful as a recurrence prediction factor. No reports have yet investigated recurrence factors using postoperative NLR. This study assessed the predictive value of NLR preoperatively and on the first (NLR1) and seventh day (NLR7) postoperatively in patients with stage II colorectal cancer. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study involving patients undergoing colorectal resection at a single institution between January 2012 and December 2016; we used medical records of 176 consecutive patients with stage II colorectal cancer undergoing curative tumor resection. NLRs as well as clinical, histopathologic, and laboratory data were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify prognostic factors associated with recurrence-free survival (RFS). RESULTS Univariate analysis revealed that elevated NLR, NLR7, and lymphatic invasion were significantly associated with decreased RFS (p < 0.05). NLR7 was revealed as significant via multivariate analysis (p = 0.013). The 3-year RFS rate was 87.1% for patients with normal NLR7 and 70.3% for those with elevated NLR7. CONCLUSION Elevated seventh-day postoperative NLR is a significant independent predictor of reduced RFS for patients with stage II colorectal cancer and may be a potential biomarker for identifying candidates for adjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of old age on the perioperative, short-term, and long-term surgical outcomes of elderly patients undergoing curative surgery for colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS The subjects of this retrospective study were 526 patients who underwent curative resections for stage I-III CRC between March 2005 and March 2016. We divided the patients into a young group (< 75 years old, n = 361) and an elderly group (≥ 75 years old, n = 165) and compared the clinicopathological factors and prognoses of the two groups. We performed a propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis with inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) to avoid confounding bias. RESULTS The elderly group had more right-sided tumors and more comorbidities than the young group. After PSM, there were 148 patients in each group. Although the elderly group had significantly shorter overall survival than the young group, the two groups did not differ significantly in cancer-specific survival (CSS; P = 0.136) or recurrence rate (RR; P = 0.317). Multivariate analysis with IPTW also revealed no significant difference in CSS (P = 0.171) or RR (P = 0.284) between the young and elderly groups. Our findings were limited by the study's retrospective single-institute conditions, and the inclusion of only patients who underwent radical resections. CONCLUSION Primary tumor resection is appropriate for elderly patients with CRC.

Abstract
AIM Surgery for colorectal cancer is associated with a high incidence of postoperative complications. The aim of this study was to analyse whether postoperative complications following radical resection for colorectal cancer are associated with increased recurrence rate and impaired survival. METHOD Patients operated for colon cancer between 2007 and 2009 with curative intent were identified through the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry. The cohort was divided into three subgroups: patients who developed severe postoperative complications, patients who developed non-severe complications and patients who did not develop any complication (controls). RESULTS Of 6779 patients included in the study, 640 (9%) developed severe complications, 994 (15%) non-severe complications and 5145 (76%) had no complications. The 5-year overall survival rate was 60.3% in the severe complication group, 64.2% in the non-severe complication group and 72.8% in the control group (P < 0.01). The 3-year disease-free survival rate was 66.8%, 70.9% and 77.8% respectively (P < 0.01). The recurrence rate did not differ between the three groups. In multivariate analysis, both severe and non-severe complications were found to be risk factors for decreased overall survival at 5 years [hazard ratio (HR) 1.38, 95% CI 1.47-1.92, and HR 1.18, 95% CI 1.27-1.60 respectively; P < 0.05) as well as for decreased 3-year disease-free survival (HR 1.37, 95% CI 1.14-1.65, and HR 1.26, 95% CI 1.08-1.48 respectively; P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Complications after colonic resection for cancer are associated with impaired 5-year overall survival and 3-year disease-free survival and exhibit more severe postoperative complications, mainly via mechanisms other than cancer recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited data on the relationship between postoperative complications (POCs) after colorectal cancer resection and oncologic outcomes are available. We hypothesized that the increased severity of POCs is associated with progressively worse oncologic outcomes. METHODS Patients with pathological stages I-III colorectal adenocarcinoma undergoing elective curative resection in a single institution between 2000 and 2012 were identified from a prospectively collected database. The severity of POCs was determined using the Clavien-Dindo classification, and oncologic outcomes were assessed. RESULTS Of 2266 patients, 669 (30%) had at least one POC. POCs were not associated with pathologic stage (p = 0.58) or use of adjuvant therapy (p = 0.19). With a mean follow-up of 5.3 years, POCs were associated with decreased 5-year overall survival (OS) (60% vs. 77%, p < 0.001), disease-free survival (DFS) (53% vs. 70%, p < 0.001), cancer-specific survival (CSS) (81% vs. 87%, p < 0.001), and increased overall recurrence rates (19% vs. 15%, p = 0.008). Increasing Clavien-Dindo scores from I to IV was significantly associated with progressively decreasing OS (71, 64, 60, 22%, p < 0.001), DFS (65, 58, 51, 19%, p < 0.001), CSS (88, 77, 79, 74%, p < 0.001), and increasing recurrence rates (12, 20, 26, 18%, p = 0.002). Multivariate analysis confirmed POCs as an independent factor associated with decreased OS [hazard ratio (HR) 0.63, 95% CI 0.52-0.76], DFS (HR 0.64, 95% CI 0.54-0.76), CSS (HR 0.73, 95% CI 0.56-0.97), and increased recurrence rates (HR 1.36, 95% CI 1.02-1.80). CONCLUSIONS POCs are associated with adverse oncologic outcomes, with increasing effect with higher Clavien-Dindo score. Efforts to reduce both the incidence and severity of complications should result in improved oncologic outcomes.

Abstract
Many factors have been reported to affect the long-term survival of gastric carcinoma patients after gastrectomy; the present study took the first attempt to find out the potential role of weekday carried out surgery in the postoperative prognosis of gastric cancer patients. 463 gastric cancer patients have been followed up successfully. Pearson χ2 test was used for univariate analyses. Survival curves were constructed by using Kaplan-Meier method and evaluated by using the log-rank test. The Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to find out the risk factors, and subgroup analysis was conducted to rule out confounding factors. We found that the patients who underwent gastrectomy on the later weekday (Wednesday–Friday) more easily suffered from a higher postoperative morbidity. Weekday of surgery was one of the independent indicators for the prognosis of patients after gastric cancer surgery. However, the role of weekday of surgery was significantly weakened in the complications group. In conclusion, surgery performed in the later weekday was more likely to lead to increased postoperative complications and an unfavorable role in prognosis of Chinese gastric cancer patients after curative gastrectomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE The impact of postoperative complications on survival after radical surgery for esophageal, gastric, and colorectal cancers remains controversial. We conducted a systematic review of recent publications to examine the effect of postoperative complications on oncological outcome. METHODS A literature search of PubMed/MEDLINE was performed using the keywords "esophageal cancer," "gastric cancer," and "colorectal cancer," obtaining 27 reports published online up until the end of April 2016. Articles focusing on (i) postoperative morbidity and oncological outcome; and (ii) body mass index (BMI), postoperative morbidity, and oncological outcome, were selected. Univariate and multivariate analyses (Cox proportional hazards model) were performed. RESULTS Patients with postoperative complications had significantly poorer long-term survival than those without complications. Complications were associated with impaired oncological outcomes. The hazard ratios for overall survival were 1.67 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.31-2.12), 1.59 (95% CI, 1.13-2.24), and 1.55 (95% CI, 1.28-1.87) in esophageal, gastric, and colorectal cancers, respectively. High BMI was associated with postoperative morbidity rate but not with poor oncological outcome. Low BMI was significantly associated with inferior oncological outcome. CONCLUSIONS Complications after radical surgery for esophageal, gastric, and colorectal cancers are associated with patient prognosis. Avoiding such complications might improve the outcomes.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the expression of Golgi phosphoprotein-3 (GOLPH3) protein in colon cancer tissues and the association with the prognosis of patients. In total, 98 patients with colon cancer admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Science and Technology for surgery between June 2011 and June 2013 were taken as the observation group. In addition, 15 healthy individuals, determined by enteroscopy, were taken as the control group. The expressions of GOLPH3 mRNA and protein were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry, respectively. The patients were divided into GOLPH3-positive and GOLPH3-negative groups according to the expression of GOLPH3. The expression of GOLPH3 in colon cancer and its association with the prognosis of patients was analyzed. The expression of GOLPH3 mRNA and protein in colon cancer tissues was significantly increased compared with normal colon mucosa (P<0.05); among the tissues, GOLPH3 was not expressed in 29 patients and positively expressed in 69 patients. The expression of GOLPH3 was negatively associated with the tumor differentiation degree, and positively associated with tumor invasion depth, lymph node metastasis and clinical stages in GOLPH3-positive patients. The cumulative recurrence rates at 1, 2 and 3 years were significantly lower in GOLPH3-negative patients (P<0.05). The survival rates at 1, 2 and 3 years in the GOLPH3-positive group were significantly higher than that of the GOLPH3-negative patients (P<0.05). In conclusion, the positive expression of GOLPH3 mRNA and protein in colon cancer tissue was significantly increased compared with the control group. GOLPH3 expression was closely associated with the pathological features, consisting of tissue typing, clinical stage, degree of tumor invasion and lymph node metastasis, and GOLPH3 expression. Patients with GOLPH3 overexpression also had a poor prognosis.

Ann Surg Oncol 2016; 23:2832-40. [PMID: 27016295 PMCID: PMC4972846 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-016-5204-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 76] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2016] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study examined the relationship between the magnitude of the postoperative systemic inflammatory response (SIR), the severity of complications, and long-term outcomes following surgery for colorectal cancer. METHODS Data were recorded prospectively for patients undergoing potentially curative surgery for colorectal cancer in a single centre between 2008 and 2013. The magnitude of the SIR was measured using C-reactive protein (CRP). Complications were classified by Clavien-Dindo grade. The impact on disease specific and overall survival was assessed using univariate and multivariate Cox regression. RESULTS Of 377 patients included, the majority were male (55 %), older than age 65 years (68 %), with colonic (63 %) and node-negative disease (66 %). A total of 138 patients (37 %) had a complication, of which 26 (6 %) were Clavien-Dindo grade 3 or 4 severity. Complication severity was significantly associated with the established CRP thresholds of 150 mg/L on postoperative day (POD) 3 (p < 0.001) and POD 4 (p < 0.001). Median follow-up was 42 months with disease-specific survival 86 % and overall survival 78 %. On univariate analysis, complication severity [hazard ratio (HR) 1.66, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.13-2.43, p = 0.009], and POD 4 CRP > 150 mg/L (HR 2.53, 95 % CI 1.43-4.48, p = 0.001) were associated with disease-specific survival. On multivariate survival analysis, POD 4 CRP > 150 mg/L (HR 2.00, 95 % CI 1.12-3.59, p = 0.020), but not complication severity, was significantly associated with disease-specific survival independent of TNM stage (HR 2.46, 95 % CI 1.52-4.12, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The magnitude of the postoperative SIR, evidenced by CRP, was significantly associated with long-term outcomes following surgery for colorectal cancer, independent of complications and stage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For some types of cancer, postoperative complications can negatively influence survival, but the association between these complications and oncological outcomes is unclear for patients with esophageal cancer who receive preoperative treatments. METHODS Data were retrospectively analyzed for patients who underwent curative resection following preoperative chemotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma from 2001 to 2011. Clinicopathological parameters and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were compared between patients with and without severe postoperative complications, grade III or higher, using the Clavien-Dindo classification. RESULTS Of 255 patients identified, 104 (40.8 %) postoperatively developed severe complications. The most common complication was atelectasis in 61 (23.9 %), followed by pulmonary infection in 22 (8.6 %). Three-field lymphadenectomy, longer operation time, and more blood loss were significantly associated with a higher incidence of severe complications. Multivariate analysis of CSS revealed severe complications [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.642, 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI) 1.095-2.460, p = 0.016] as a significant prognostic factor along with pT stage [HR = 2.081, 95 % CI 1.351-3.266, p < 0.001] and pN stage [HR = 3.724, 95 % CI 2.111-7.126, p < 0.001], whereas postoperative serum C-reactive protein value was not statistically significant. Among all complications, severe pulmonary infection was the only independent prognostic factor [HR = 2.504, 95 % CI 1.308-4.427, p = 0.007]. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of postoperative infectious complications, in particular pulmonary infection, is associated with unfavorable prognosis in patients with esophageal cancer undergoing preoperative chemotherapy.

Abstract
Colon cancer remains as a serious health problem around the world despite advances in diagnosis and treatment. Dietary fibers are considered to reduce the risk of colon cancer as they are converted to short chain fatty acids by the presence of anaerobic bacteria in the intestine, but imbalanced diet and high fat consumption may promote tumor formation at different sites, including the large bowel via increased bacterial enzymes activity. The present study was conducted to characterize the inhibitory action of myrtenal on bacterial enzymes and aberrant crypt foci (ACF). Experimental colon carcinogenesis induced by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine is histologically, morphologically, and anatomically similar to human colonic epithelial neoplasm. Discrete microscopic mucosal lesions such as ACF and malignant tumors function as important biomarkers in the diagnosis of colon cancer. Methylene blue staining was carried out to visualize the impact of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine and myrtenal. Myrtenal-treated animals showed decreased levels of bacterial enzymes such as β-glucuronidase, β-glucosidase, and mucinase. Characteristic changes in the colon were noticed by inhibiting ACF formation in the colon. In conclusion, treatment with myrtenal provided altered pathophysiological condition in colon cancer-bearing animals with evidence of decreased crypt multiplicity and tumor progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This systematic review investigated the impact of complications by type (infective vs. non-infective) and severity (using the Clavien Dindo scale) on long-term outcome following surgery for colorectal cancer. METHODS A systematic review was performed using appropriate keywords. Meta-analysis using a random effects model was performed. RESULTS 14 studies were included with a total 18,611 patients. Infective complications had a significant impact on disease free (HR 1.41, 95%CI 1.08-1.83, p=0.01) and overall survival (1.37 95%CI 1.22-1.55, p<0.001). Non-infective complications had no significant impact on either disease free (HR 1.21, 95%CI 0.97-1.52, p=0.09) or overall survival (HR 1.35, 95%CI 0.92-1.97, p=0.12). Complication severity had a significant impact on both disease free (HR 1.41, 95%CI 1.18-1.68, p<0.001) and overall survival (HR 1.45, 95%CI 1.25-1.69, p<0.001). DISCUSSION Both type and severity of postoperative complications have an impact on long-term survival following surgery for colorectal cancer.
