Oncologic concerns from high wound recurrence rates prompted a multi-institutional randomized trial to test the hypothesis that disease-free and overall survival are equivalent, regardless of whether patients receive laparoscopic-assisted or open colectomy.
Eight hundred seventy-two patients with curable colon cancer were randomly assigned to undergo laparoscopic-assisted or open colectomy at 1 of 48 institutions by 1 of 66 credentialed surgeons. Patients were followed for 8 years, with 5-year data on 90% of patients. The primary end point was time to recurrence, tested using a noninferiority trial design. Secondary endpoints included overall survival and disease-free survival. (Kaplan-Meier)
As of March 1, 2007, 170 patients have recurred and 252 have died. Patients have been followed a median of 7 years (range 5-10 years). Disease-free 5-year survival (Open 68.4%, Laparoscopic 69.2%, P=0.94) and overall 5-year survival (Open 74.6%, Laparoscopic 76.4%, P=0.93) are similar for the 2 groups. Overall recurrence rates were similar for the 2 groups (Open 21.8%, Laparoscopic 19.4%, P=0.25). These recurrences were distributed similarly between the 2 treatment groups. Sites of first recurrence were distributed similarly between the treatment arms (Open: wound 0.5%, liver 5.8%, lung 4.6%, other 8.4%; Laparoscopic: wound 0.9%, liver 5.5%, lung 4.6%, other 6.1%).
Laparoscopic colectomy for curable colon cancer is not inferior to open surgery based on long-term oncologic endpoints from a prospective randomized trial.
高伤口复发率引发的肿瘤学问题促使一项多机构随机试验开展,以检验如下假设:无论患者接受腹腔镜辅助结肠切除术还是开放结肠切除术,无病生存期和总生存期都是相等的。
872例可治愈结肠癌患者由66名具备资质的外科医生之一,在48家机构中的1家随机分配接受腹腔镜辅助或开放结肠切除术。对患者进行了8年的随访,90%的患者有5年的数据。主要终点是复发时间,采用非劣效性试验设计进行检验。次要终点包括总生存期和无病生存期(Kaplan-Meier法)。
截至2007年3月1日,170例患者复发,252例患者死亡。患者的中位随访时间为7年(范围5 - 10年)。两组的5年无病生存率(开放手术组68.4%,腹腔镜手术组69.2%,P = 0.94)和5年总生存率(开放手术组74.6%,腹腔镜手术组76.4%,P = 0.93)相似。两组的总体复发率相似(开放手术组21.8%,腹腔镜手术组19.4%,P = 0.25)。这些复发在两个治疗组中的分布相似。首次复发部位在治疗组之间的分布相似(开放手术组:伤口0.5%,肝脏5.8%,肺4.6%,其他8.4%;腹腔镜手术组:伤口0.9%,肝脏5.5%,肺4.6%,其他6.1%)。
基于一项前瞻性随机试验的长期肿瘤学终点,可治愈结肠癌的腹腔镜结肠切除术并不劣于开放手术。
