: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the major epidemiological oncological confronts with established risk factors, including male sex. Still, CRC is reported among the leading malignancies in the female population. The necessity for possible, easily accessible prognostic factors is required to improve patient outcomes. This study aimed to assess sex-related differences in nine-month four-stage CRC results of palliative systemic therapy. : A total of 67 patients (39 males) with a median age of 70 (64-76) years were referred for first-line palliative chemotherapy due to end-stage colorectal cancer diagnosis. The CRC advancement was evaluated by computed tomography (CT) before and 9 months after chemotherapy. The demographical and clinical characteristics were evaluated for nine-month therapy outcomes, including mortality risk and CT scan results. : The nine-month mortality risk in female and male groups was indifferent, reaching 21% (6 patients) and 21% (8 patients), respectively ( = 0.935). Among survivors, therapy response was observed in 6 (21%) female and 20 (51%) male patients ( = 0.056). In multivariable analysis, the male sex (OR: 3.91, 95% CI: 1.09-14.05, = 0.037) and RDW (OR: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.42-0.88, = 0.008) were found to be significant for disease response to systemic therapy based on CT scan results. The ROC curve for predictive role yields a sensitivity of 71.1%, specificity of 57.8%, and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.726. : Our analysis points out the possible favorable role of the male sex on nine-month systemic therapy response in palliative CRC. The RDW-CV can be regarded as a possible indicator of chemotherapy response in colorectal cancer. The mortality risk within 9 months of systemic therapy is comparable between males and females.
结直肠癌(CRC)是主要的流行病学肿瘤问题之一,存在包括男性性别在内的既定风险因素。尽管如此,CRC仍是女性人群中主要的恶性肿瘤之一。需要可能的、易于获得的预后因素来改善患者预后。本研究旨在评估姑息性全身治疗九个月的四期CRC结果中的性别差异。 共有67例患者(39例男性)因晚期结直肠癌诊断接受一线姑息化疗,中位年龄为70(64 - 76)岁。化疗前及化疗9个月后通过计算机断层扫描(CT)评估CRC进展情况。评估人口统计学和临床特征以了解九个月的治疗结果,包括死亡风险和CT扫描结果。 女性和男性组九个月的死亡风险无差异,分别为21%(6例患者)和21%(8例患者)(P = 0.935)。在幸存者中,6例(21%)女性和20例(51%)男性患者观察到治疗反应(P = 0.056)。在多变量分析中,基于CT扫描结果,男性性别(OR:3.91,95%CI:1.09 - 14.05,P = 0.037)和红细胞分布宽度(RDW)(OR:0.61,95%CI:0.42 - 0.88,P = 。008)被发现对全身治疗的疾病反应具有显著意义。预测作用的ROC曲线灵敏度为71.1%,特异性为57.8%,曲线下面积(AUC)为0.726。 我们的分析指出男性性别在姑息性CRC九个月全身治疗反应中可能具有有利作用。RDW - CV可被视为结直肠癌化疗反应的一个可能指标。全身治疗9个月内的死亡风险在男性和女性之间相当。
