Abstract

Aim: Colorectal cancer is among the most common malignancies and liver metastasis is developed in 50% of the patients. Hepatic resection is the most effective treatment in liver metastasis of colorectal cancer. The present study aimed to determine the factors that affect survival in patients who underwent hepatic resection in liver metastasis of colorectal cancer.
Materials and Methods: The data on patients who underwent hepatic resection due to liver metastasis of colorectal cancer in Ege University, Faculty of Medicine, General Surgery Department were retrospectively analyzed. Survival data were collected with the review of patient follow-up files. The effects of the factors pertaining to the patients on survival were determined.
Results: The mean age of the 62 participating patients was 58.08 ± 10.92 years. Total survival rate was 50.4 months (CI: 41.2-59.7). The factors that statistically significantly reduced the survival rate were determined as follows: Patient age> 65 (<65 years: 56.4 ± 5.5 months / ≥65 years: 29.3 ± 4.8 months, p = 0.007), presence of more than four lymph node metastases in the primary tumor (N0: 56.1 ± 7.9 months / N1: 56.5 ± 6.5 months / N2: 18.0 ± 3.0, p = 0.001), presence of bilobular liver metastasis (Uni-lobular: 53.4 ± 5.0 months / bilobular: 24.0 ± 4.4 months, p = 0.026), and liver resection margin closer than 2 mm (<2 mm: 28.4 ± 7.7 months / 2-9 mm: 61.1 ± 7 , 6 months, ≥10mm: 46.3 ± 5.9 months, p = 0.003). No statistically significant differences were determined in survival based on gender, location of the primary tumor, the invasion depth of the primary tumor, the time between colorectal and liver surgery, the carcinoembryonic antigen level, the metastasis diameter, the number of metastases and the extent of surgical resection.
Conclusion: In patients who underwent surgical resection for liver metastasis of colorectal cancer, age older than sixty-five years, the presence of more than four lymph nodes in the colon resection material, bilobular liver metastasis, and a surgical margin closer than 2 mm were poor prognostic factors.

Abstract

Amaç: Kolorektal kanser en sık görülen malignitelerden biridir ve hastaların %50’sinde karaciğer metastazı gelişir. Kolorektal kanserlerin karaciğer metastazlarında hepatik rezeksiyon en etkili tedavi yöntemidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı kolorektal kanserlerin karaciğer metastazında hepatik rezeksiyon uygulanan hastalarda sağ kalımı etkileyen faktörlerin ortaya konmasıdır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Ege Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Genel Cerrahi Anabilim Dalı’nda kolorektal kanserin karaciğer metastazı nedeniyle hepatik rezeksiyon uygulanmış olan hastaların verileri retrospektif olarak incelendi. Hastaların takip dosyaları incelenerek sağ kalım verileri elde edildi. Hastalara ait faktörlerin sağ kalıma etkisi değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya dâhil edilen 62 hastanın yaş ortalaması 58,08±10,92 idi. Genel sağ kalım ortalaması 50,4 ay (CI: 41,2-59,7) olarak saptandı. Hasta yaşının 65’ten büyük olması (<65 yıl:56,4±5,5 ay / ≥65 yıl:29,3±4,8 ay, p=0,007), primer tümörde dörtten fazla lenf nodu metastazı olması (N0:56,1±7,9 ay/ N1:56,5±6,5 ay/ N2:18,0±3,0, p=0,001), bilober karaciğer metastazı varlığı (Unilober: 53,4±5,0 ay/ bilober: 24,0±4,4 ay, p=0,026) ve karaciğer rezeksiyon sınırının 2 mm’den yakın olması (<2 mm: 28,4±7,7 ay/ 2-9 mm:61,1±7,6ay, ≥10mm: 46,3±5,9ay, p=0,003) istatistiksel olarak anlamlı şekilde sağ kalımı azaltan faktörler olarak saptandı. Cinsiyet, primer tümörün yerleşimi, primer tümörün invazyon derinliği, kolorektal ve karaciğer cerrahisi arasındaki süre, karsinoembriyonik antijen düzeyi, metastazın çapı, metastaz sayısı ve cerrahi rezeksiyonun genişliği ile sağ kalım süresi arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptanmadı
Sonuç: Kolorektal kanserin karaciğer metastazına yönelik cerrahi rezeksiyon uygulanan hastalarda, 65 yaşından büyük olmak, kolon rezeksiyon materyalinde dörtten fazla lenf nodu olması, bilober karaciğer metastazı ve cerrahi sınırın 2 mm’den yakın olması kötü prognostik faktörlerdir.
