This study reviewed the impact of preoperative chemoradiotherapy/short-term radiotherapy on abdominosacral amputations of the rectum (ASAR) for the treatment of low-rectum cancers in terms of postoperative morbidity, local recurrence rates, and survival.
A total of 198 patients with stage II and III tumors located within 6 cm of the anorectal junction underwent ASAR between 1998 and 2008 and were selected for further analysis. Patients were compared according to the following groups: those who had surgery only (Group A) and those who had preoperative chemoradiotherapy/short-term radiotherapy (Group B).
There were 44 and 154 patients in Groups A and B, respectively, including 135 males. The median age of the subjects was 63 years (range = 35-88). The median follow-up period was 81 months (range = 23-138). Neither the local recurrence rates (6.8% in Group A vs. 4.6% in Group B, p = 0.544) nor the 5-year relative survival rates (72.4% in Group A vs. 69.3% in Group B, p = 0.127) differed significantly between the groups.
Preoperative therapy in low-rectum cancer does not improve the therapeutic results of ASAR.
本研究回顾了术前放化疗/短期放疗对直肠腹骶切除术(ASAR)治疗低位直肠癌的术后发病率、局部复发率和生存率的影响。
1998年至2008年间,共有198例肿瘤位于距肛门直肠交界处6cm以内的II期和III期患者接受了ASAR,并被选作进一步分析。根据以下分组对患者进行比较:单纯接受手术的患者(A组)和接受术前放化疗/短期放疗的患者(B组)。
A组和B组分别有44例和154例患者,其中男性135例。受试者的中位年龄为63岁(范围=35 - 88岁)。中位随访期为81个月(范围=23 - 138个月)。两组之间的局部复发率(A组为6.8%,B组为4.6%,p = 0.544)和5年相对生存率(A组为72.4%,B组为69.3%,p = 0.127)均无显著差异。
低位直肠癌的术前治疗并不能改善ASAR的治疗效果。
