Abstract
Introduction
Total neoadjuvant treatment (TNT) with induction chemotherapy (ICT) followed by chemoradiotherapy (CRT) has improved long-term outcomes for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). However, long-term outcomes have not been investigated for patients with incomplete (R1) resection separately. This study investigates overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and local and distant recurrence rates in patients with R1 resection after preoperative treatment with ICT and CRT or CRT.
Patients and methods
From the NORD database 689 patients with LARC who received treatment between 2006 and 2017 were screened for inclusion. All patients with R1 resection were included. ICT consisted of at least 1 cycle of capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CAPOX) and was followed by radiotherapy concomitant with capecitabine.
Results
Among 46 patients with R1 resection, 27 (59%) received both ICT and CRT, and 19 (41%) patients received CRT. The 5-year OS was 44% (95% CI, 26%-63%) (ICT + CRT) versus 37% (95% CI, 15%-59%) (CRT) (P = .25) and 5-year DFS was 44% (95% CI, 26%-63%) (ICT + CRT) versus 32% (95% CI, 11%-53%) (CRT) (P = .22). The local recurrence rates showed a small nonstatistical significant difference in local control in the ICT group: 15% compared to 26% in the CRT group (P = .22). Distant recurrence rates were similar: 41% (ICT + CRT) versus 47% (CRT) (P = .48).
Conclusion
There was no significant difference in OS, DFS or local and distant recurrence rates between patients who received ICT + CRT versus patients who received CRT only.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Colorectal Cancer is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal that publishes original articles describing various aspects of clinical and translational research of gastrointestinal cancers. Clinical Colorectal Cancer is devoted to articles on detection, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of colorectal, pancreatic, liver, and other gastrointestinal cancers. The main emphasis is on recent scientific developments in all areas related to gastrointestinal cancers. Specific areas of interest include clinical research and mechanistic approaches; drug sensitivity and resistance; gene and antisense therapy; pathology, markers, and prognostic indicators; chemoprevention strategies; multimodality therapy; and integration of various approaches.
