Adjuvant Chemotherapy Duration and Disease-Free Survival in Low-Risk Stage III Colon Cancer with N1a-b and N1c Disease: Insights from a Single-Center Retrospective Analysis.
Background: Tumor deposits (TDs) are known to have a poor prognosis independent of lymph node (LN) involvement and are considered equivalent to LN metastases in the latest staging system. In stage III colon cancer (CC), high-risk patients (pT4 or pN2) receive 6 months of adjuvant chemotherapy, while low-risk patients (pT1-3 and N1) are recommended either 3 or 6 months of CAPOX or 6 months of FOLFOX therapy. However, the optimal chemotherapy duration for low-risk patients classified as pN1c remains unknown. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of adjuvant chemotherapy duration (3 months vs. 6 months) on survival in patients with low-risk stage III CC either in pN1a-b and pN1c patient groups.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with stage III CC who underwent surgery at a tertiary center between January 2014 and May 2024. Demographic and pathological data of patients were retrospectively collected. The primary outcome was disease-free survival (DFS).
Results: A total of 142 patients were included. Among the patients, 116 were pT1-3N1a-b and 26 were pT1-3N1c. Local (23.1% vs. 1.7%, P < 0.001) and overall (38.5% vs 14.6%, P = 0.011) recurrences were significantly higher in the pN1c group. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed no significant impact of adjuvant chemotherapy duration on DFS in the pN1a-b group (P = 0.359), whereas in the pN1c group, 3-month chemotherapy resulted in significantly shorter DFS (P = 0.044) in univariate analysis.
Conclusion: Our study indicates that shorter duration of adjuvant chemotherapy is associated with worse survival and 6-month chemotherapy is recommended for patients with pT1-3 and N1c disease.
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.
