Clinical features by disease duration in ulcerative colitis-associated cancers
Aim
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a known contributor to the development of colitis-associated cancer (CAC), although the exact mechanism remains to be elucidated. CAC typically presents as a flat type macroscopically and manifests histologically as mucinous carcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma. While the relationship between disease duration and chronic inflammation has been studied, the impact of disease duration on CAC outcomes has yet to be thoroughly investigated. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of UC duration on the clinicopathological features of CAC.
Method
This study analysed data from the Japan Society for Colorectal Cancer Research involving UC patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer. The sample consisted of 1200 patients, and their histological and clinicopathological features were analysed. Cutoff values were established at 5 and 15 years for comparisons. Trends and prognostic outcomes corresponding to disease duration were evaluated.
Results
Comparison between two groups (disease duration 0–5 and >5 years) revealed a significant correlation in terms of diagnostic opportunity, vascular invasion, N factor, pathological stage and tumour location. However, between the two groups of 0–15 and >15 years, a significant correlation was identified only in diagnostic opportunity, the presence of primary sclerosing cholangitis. Trend analysis of disease duration showed significant correlations between diagnostic opportunity, histological type, vascular invasion and tumour location, with no significant differences observed in prognostic outcomes.
Conclusion
Our analysis highlighted distinct histological and clinical features in the short-term and long-term disease groups, and these features appear to intensify with increased disease duration. Since no significant difference in prognosis was found, there may not be a need to distinguish between them in cancer treatment.
期刊介绍:
Diseases of the colon and rectum are common and offer a number of exciting challenges. Clinical, diagnostic and basic science research is expanding rapidly. There is increasing demand from purchasers of health care and patients for clinicians to keep abreast of the latest research and developments, and to translate these into routine practice. Technological advances in diagnosis, surgical technique, new pharmaceuticals, molecular genetics and other basic sciences have transformed many aspects of how these diseases are managed. Such progress will accelerate.
Colorectal Disease offers a real benefit to subscribers and authors. It is first and foremost a vehicle for publishing original research relating to the demanding, rapidly expanding field of colorectal diseases.
Essential for surgeons, pathologists, oncologists, gastroenterologists and health professionals caring for patients with a disease of the lower GI tract, Colorectal Disease furthers education and inter-professional development by including regular review articles and discussions of current controversies.
Note that the journal does not usually accept paediatric surgical papers.
