Abstract
- It is assumed that the impact of primary tumor stage (PTS) on prognosis gradually weakens with increasing disease-free interval (DFI) from colorectal cancer resection to liver metastases. Data from 733 patients undergoing hepatectomy in the Hepato-pancreato-biliary Surgery Department I of Peking University Cancer Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Early and late metastases were defined as DFI ≤ and >12 months, respectively. In early metastases group, patients with T 4 stage had a significantly worse recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) than those with T 1-3 stage (P = 0.002 and P < 0.001, respectively). Patients with N 1-2 stage disease also demonstrated a worse RFS and OS than those with N 0 stage (P = 0.006 and P = 0.007, respectively). In late metastases group, patients with T 4 and T 1-3 stages as well as patients with N 1-2 and N 0 stages, had comparable RFS (P = 0.395 and P = 0.996, respectively) and OS (P = 0.387 and P = 0.684, respectively). T and N stages were independent prognostic predictors only in patients with early metastases. The impact of PTS on prognosis is diminished with increasing DFI and limited only to patients with early metastases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
