Poor prognostic and staging value of tumor deposit in locally advanced rectal cancer with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.

ABSTRACT: Tumor deposit (TD) was associated with poor survival in colorectal cancer. However, its prognostic and staging value in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) patients following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (neo-CRT) is controversial. Four hundred and ninety-five LARC patients following neo-CRT and surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards regression in all lymph node (LN) -negative and LN-positive patients. Next, we used three methods to classify the counts of LNs and TDs (oN, only LN counts; n1N, counts according to the N1c standards; n2N, total counts of LNs and TDs) to evaluate the impact of TD on N staging. TD-positive patients were associated with more aggressive clinicopathological features. In multivariate analyses, TD was an independent poor prognostic factor of overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and local recurrence-free survival in all patients. In LN-negative patients, TD was an independent poor prognostic factor of OS, DFS and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS). In LN-positive patients, TD has poor prognostic value only in patients with one positive LN. Three multivariate analyses according to three N staging methods showed that oN was not an independent prognostic factor, whereas n1N and n2N were independently associated with poor survival in OS, DFS and DMFS. The n2N method seemed to be better than n1N method. TD is an independent poor prognostic factor in LARC patients following neo-CRT, especially in patients with no more than one positive LN. TD probably should be considered as one positive LN when performing N staging.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim of this study is to explore the most effective inflammation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nutrition markers for survival and pathology complete response (pCR) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).MethodsA total of 278 patients with LARC undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) and radical surgery from 2016 to 2019 were included. The X-tile method was used to select the optimal cutoff points for the mesorectal package area (MPA), advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) scores. Cox regression analysis was used to identify risk factors of disease-free survival (DFS). To discover pCR risk factors, logistic regression analysis was employed. A predictive nomogram for DFS was constructed.ResultsAccording to the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator analysis, the MPA was the only significant predictor for the DFS in patients with LARC. Kaplan-Meier (K-M) analysis demonstrated that groups with higher MPA, PNI, SII, NLR, MLR, and ALI score had improved DFS (all P < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis revealed that the MPA and PNI could accurately predict the pCR in patients with LARC after NCRT. The MPA score and NLR score were found to be independent predictors of DFS after NCRT using Cox regression analysis. Logistical regression analysis demonstrated that the MPA score, PNI score, and pre-NCRT cN stage were all independent predictors of pCR in patients with LARC after NCRT. Recursive partitioning analysis and time-independent ROC curve analysis demonstrated that MPA score was the most important predictor of pCR and prognosis in patients with LARC after NCRT.ConclusionsMPA was identified as the most effective marker for MRI, and the prognostic value was further confirmed by time-ROC analysis. More intense adjuvant treatment could be considered for lower-MPA score patients with LARC after NCRT. Obesity in the pelvis encourages the understanding of the prognosis prediction of patients with LARC after NCRT.
