Abstract
Background: Our study aims to determine the predictors and patterns of relapses after curative colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) resection.
Methods: A single-centre, retrospective study of CRLM patients operated between 2010 and 2022 was performed. The site of first recurrence was either hepatic (marginal (≤ 1 cm) or extramarginal), extrahepatic, or both. Factors that predicted relapse patterns and overall survival were determined by multivariable Cox regression analysis with backward elimination of variables.
Results: The study consisted of 258 patients, with a similar proportion of synchronous (144; 56%) and metachronous(114; 43%) metastasis. At a 43-month median follow-up, 156 patients (60.4%) developed recurrences with 33 (21.1%) in the liver, 62(24.03%) extra-hepatic recurrences, and 58 (22.48%) having both. Isolated marginal liver relapses were seen in seven (9.89%) liver recurrence patients. The median overall and relapse-free survivals were 38 months (30-54) and 13 months (11-16), respectively. The 3-year liver-relapse-free survival was 54.4% (44.9-60.6). Size of liver metastases > 5 cm (HR 2.06 (1.34-3.17), involved surgical margins (HR 2.16 (1.27-3.68)), and adjuvant chemotherapy (HR 1.89 (1.07-3.35)) were predictors of hepatic recurrences. Node positivity of primary (HR 1.61 (1.02-2.56)), presence of baseline extra-hepatic metastases (HR 0.30 (0.18-0.51)), size of liver metastases > 5 cm (HR 2.02 (1.37-2.99)), poorly differentiated histology (HR 2.25 (1.28-3.49)), presence of LVI (HR 2.25 (1.28-3.94)), and adjuvant chemotherapy (HR 2.15 (1.28-3.61)) were predictors of extra-hepatic recurrences.
Conclusion: The study found majority relapses occurred at extrahepatic sites whilst isolated marginal recurrences were few. The consistent predictors of recurrence were size and inability to deliver adjuvant therapy. A tailored adjuvant therapy might improve outcomes after liver metastasectomy in colorectal cancers.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Gastrointestinal Cancer is a multidisciplinary medium for the publication of novel research pertaining to cancers arising from the gastrointestinal tract.The journal is dedicated to the most rapid publication possible.The journal publishes papers in all relevant fields, emphasizing those studies that are helpful in understanding and treating cancers affecting the esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder and biliary tree, pancreas, small bowel, large bowel, rectum, and anus. In addition, the Journal of Gastrointestinal Cancer publishes basic and translational scientific information from studies providing insight into the etiology and progression of cancers affecting these organs. New insights are provided from diverse areas of research such as studies exploring pre-neoplastic states, risk factors, epidemiology, genetics, preclinical therapeutics, surgery, radiation therapy, novel medical therapeutics, clinical trials, and outcome studies.In addition to reports of original clinical and experimental studies, the journal also publishes: case reports, state-of-the-art reviews on topics of immediate interest or importance; invited articles analyzing particular areas of pancreatic research and knowledge; perspectives in which critical evaluation and conflicting opinions about current topics may be expressed; meeting highlights that summarize important points presented at recent meetings; abstracts of symposia and conferences; book reviews; hypotheses; Letters to the Editors; and other items of special interest, including:Complex Cases in GI Oncology: This is a new initiative to provide a forum to review and discuss the history and management of complex and involved gastrointestinal oncology cases. The format will be similar to a teaching case conference where a case vignette is presented and is followed by a series of questions and discussion points. A brief reference list supporting the points made in discussion would be expected.
