Abstract
Background
More than 90% of colorectal cancers originate from preexisting adenomas. The present study aimed to assess the association between the type of preexisting adenomas and cancer-specific survival of subsequent colorectal cancer.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study was conducted using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registry 2000–2020 on patients surgically treated for colorectal adenocarcinomas with known types of preexisting adenomas. Kaplan-Meier statistics and Cox regression analyses were used to assess 5-year cancer-specific survival according to the adenoma types.
Results
The study included 65,365 patients (52.7% male, median age 67 years). Overall, 75.7% of tumors were associated with tubulovillous adenomas, 23.4% with villous adenomas, 0.66% with tubular adenomas, and 0.1% with serrated adenomas. The 5-year cancer-specific survival was best for serrated adenoma-associated carcinomas (87.9%), followed by tubular adenoma-associated carcinomas (84.2%) and tubulovillous adenomas-associated carcinomas (81.5%) whereas villous adenomas-associated carcinomas had the lowest cancer-specific survival (74.1%). The same finding was noted when cancer-specific survival was stratified by disease location and stage. Patients with villous adenomas-associated carcinomas had a lower likelihood of cancer-specific survival compared to tubular adenoma-associated carcinomas (hazard ratio, 1.56, P < .001) whereas tubulovillous adenomas and serrated adenoma-associated carcinomas had a similar risk. However, when adjusted for other survival confounders, the type of preexisting adenoma was not independently associated with cancer-specific survival.
Conclusion
Colorectal adenocarcinomas originating from serrated adenomas and tubular adenomas had the highest 5-year cancer-specific survival. Conversely, villous adenomas-associated adenocarcinomas had the lowest cancer-specific survival. The type of preexisting adenoma was not independently associated with 5-year cancer-specific survival.
