Risk Factors for Synchronous Peritoneal Metastases in Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early detection of synchronous colorectal peritoneal metastases (CPMs) is difficult due to the absence of typical symptoms and the low accuracy of imaging examinations. Increasing the knowledge of the risk factors for synchronous CPM may be essential for early diagnosis and improving their management. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for synchronous CPM.

Method

The study was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42020198548). The PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases were searched for studies comparing the clinicopathological and molecular features between patients with or without synchronous CPM. The pooled data were assessed by a random-effects model.

Results

Twenty-five studies were included. A synchronous CPM was positively associated with female sex (OR 1.299; 1.118 to 1.509; P = 0.001), PROK1/PROKR2-positivity (OR 2.244; 1.031 to 4.884; P = 0.042), right-sided colon cancer (OR 2.468; 2.050 to 2.970; P < 0.001), poorly differentiated grade (OR 2.560; 1.537 to 4.265; P < 0.001), BRAF mutation (OR 2.586; 1.674 to 3.994; P < 0.001), mucinous adenocarcinoma (OR 3.565; 2.095 to 6.064; P < 0.001), signet-ring cell carcinoma (OR 4.480; 1.836 to 10.933; P = 0.001), N1-2 (OR 5.665; 3.628 to 8.848; P < 0.001), T4 (OR 12.331; 7.734 to 19.660; P < 0.001) and elevated serum CA19-9 (OR 12.868; 5.196 to 31.867; P < 0.001).

Conclusions

These evidence-based risk factors are indicators that could predict the presence of synchronous CPMs and can improve their management.

Project description:BackgroundThe incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC), which means colorectal cancer diagnosed in patients under 50 years, has been increasing around the world. However, the etiology remains unclear. This study aims to identify risk factors for EOCRC.MethodsThis systematic review was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases from inception to November 25, 2022. We examined risk factors for EOCRC, including demographic factors, chronic conditions, and lifestyle behaviors or environmental factors. Random-effects/fixed-effects meta-analysis was adopted to combine effect estimates from published data. Study quality was evaluated with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Statistical analysis was performed Revman5.3. Studies not suitable for the meta-analysis were analyzed by a systematic review.ResultsA total of 36 studies were identified for this review, and 30 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Significant risk factors for EOCRC included male (OR=1.20; 95% CI, 1.08-1.33), Caucasian (OR=1.44; 95% CI, 1.15-1.80), a family history of CRC (OR=5.90; 95% CI, 3.67-9.48), inflammatory bowel disease (OR=4.43; 95% CI, 4.05-4.84), obesity (OR=1.52; 95%CI, 1.20-1.91), overweight (OR=1.18; 95% CI, 1.12-1.25), triglycerides (OR=1.12; 95% CI, 1, 08-1.18), hypertension (OR=1.16; 95% CI, 1.12-1.21), metabolic syndrome (OR=1.29; 95% CI, 1.15-1.45), smoking (OR=1.44; 95% CI, 1.10-1.88), alcohol consumption (OR=1.41; 95% CI, 1.22-1.62), a sedentary lifestyle (OR=1.24; 95% CI, 1.05-1.46), red meat (OR=1.10; 95% CI, 1.04-1.16), processed meat (OR=1.53; 95% CI, 1.13-2.06), Western dietary patterns (OR=1.43; 95% CI, 1.18-1.73) and sugar-sweetened beverages (OR=1.55; 95% CI, 1.23-1.95). However, no statistical differences were found for hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia. Vitamin D may be a protective factor (OR=0.72; 95% CI, 0.56-0.92). There was considerable heterogeneity among studies (I2>60%).ConclusionsThe study provides an overview of the etiology and risk factors of EOCRC. Current evidence can provide baseline data for risk prediction models specific to EOCRC and risk-tailored screening strategies.
