We performed a retrospective analysis regarding the impact of prognosis factors for patients with high recurrence risk in stages I and II. We studied 99 patients with T2, T3 and T4 tumors who suffered a curative resection and whom may or may not present indication for adjuvant chemotherapy according to histoprognostic factors and molecular biomarkers. We performed a univariate Cox regression which highlighted that male sex is a risk factor for disease relapse (HR=5.53, p 0.05, IC95% = 1.29 to 23.73). Although with a low statistical significance effect, T4 tumors seems to be associated with a poor prognosis regarding disease relapse (HR = 2.56, p = 0.06, IC95% = 0.94 to 6.99) compared to T2 and T3 tumors. Patients with d'MMR (MSI-H) seem to have a more favorable evolution compared to patients with p'MMR (MSS/MSI-L) - HR (d'MMR vs p'MMR) = 0.19, IC95% = 0.02 to 1.61, p = 0.13. We believe that it would be useful for MSS / MSI to be systematically analyzed, our data suggesting a better response of d`MMR patients to adjuvant chemotherapy. The multivariate Cox regression did not identify independent risk factors of relapse.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
