Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical pathologic characters of colorectal cancer with simultaneous hepatic metastasis and the prognosis. Methods From Aug. 1994 to Dec. 2006, 2019 cases of colorectal carcinoma were admitted, among them there were 166 patients of colorectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases receiving surgical therapy. Results were analyzed retrospectively using the software of SPSS. Results These 166 patients with synchronous liver metastases from colorectal cancer accounted for 8.1% of all 2019 patients of colorectal cancer admitted. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that CEA level before surgery、depth of invasion、 pathological type and Ducks' stage were the key risk factors predicting simultaneous liver metastasis from colorectal cancer. The survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years were 69%, 21%, and 9% respectively. There was significant difference among the different liver metastasis group of H1, H2 and H3(X2=23.35, P<0.01). The survival rates of patients undergoing radical resection was higher than those undergoing palliative resection (PR)and by-pass operation or feeding neostomy(BP/ FN)(X2= 21.18,P<0.01). PR improved short-term prognosis but did not improve long-term survival compared with BP/FN group(P=0.13). Conclusion Colorectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases has poor clinic pathological characters. Different degree of liver metastasis result in different prognosis.Radical resection leads to a better prognosis. Palliative resection can improve short-term prognosis and life quality but can't improve long-term survival.
