BACKGROUND/AIM: As D-dimer levels have been reported to reflect cancer activity, preoperative D-dimer levels may serve as a prognostic marker in patients with colorectal cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of preoperative D-dimer levels in patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer who underwent curative surgery.
A total of 264 patients who underwent curative surgery for stage I-III colorectal cancer between January 2015 and December 2019 were enrolled in this study.
The median preoperative D-dimer level was 0.8 μg/ml (range=0.4-42.5 μg/ml). Based on the results of a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, we set 1.45 as the cut-off value and classified patients into the low (n=215) and high D-dimer (n=49) groups. The high D-dimer group had significantly lower relapse-free and overall survival in comparison to the low D-dimer group (p<0.0001, p<0.0001, respectively).
Preoperative D-dimer levels can serve as a prognostic marker for stage I-III colorectal cancer.
背景/目的：由于据报道D-二聚体水平可反映癌症活动情况，术前D-二聚体水平可能作为结直肠癌患者的预后标志物。本研究的目的是评估接受根治性手术的Ⅰ-Ⅲ期结直肠癌患者术前D-二聚体水平的预后意义。
本研究纳入了2015年1月至2019年12月期间接受Ⅰ-Ⅲ期结直肠癌根治性手术的264例患者。
术前D-二聚体水平中位数为0.8μg/ml（范围=0.4 - 42.5μg/ml）。基于受试者工作特征曲线分析结果，我们将截断值设定为1.45，并将患者分为低D-二聚体组（n = 215）和高D-二聚体组（n = 49）。与低D-二聚体组相比，高D-二聚体组的无复发生存率和总生存率显著更低（分别为p < 0.0001，p < 0.0001）。
术前D-二聚体水平可作为Ⅰ-Ⅲ期结直肠癌的预后标志物。
