Technical and Biological Factors in Disease-Free Survival After Hepatic Resection for Colorectal Cancer Metastases

Abstract: Careful patient selection for hepatic resection of colorectal cancer metastases is essential to improve current poor results. Carcinoembryonic antigen level and number of metastases were significant preoperative prognostic indicators of 5-year disease-free survival in patients selected clinically for hepatic surgery. Surgical margin, weight of hepatic tissue resected, carcinoembryonic antigen level, and flow cytometry were significant postoperative prognostic indicators. Patients with a carcinoembryonic antige… Show more

“…Currently, it is universally accepted that liver resection is associated with the highest survival rates (3,(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24). Even in the present study the 10-year OS rate was 17.1%, similar to those already reported in the literature (10,14).…”

“…Resultados semelhantes foram observados por HARMS et al (18) em 449 pacientes. Outros autores encontraram significância na análise uni e multivariada e consideram o estágio Dukes C como fator prognóstico independente adverso à sobrevida, não se constituindo, porém, em contra-indicação para a ressecção hepática (7,14,19,20,22,30,35,40) .…”

“…Resultados semelhantes foram observados por SUGAWARA et al (41) , em 304 pacientes, e por LISE et al (26) , em 135 pacientes. Alguns estudos têm demonstrado que o nível pré-operatório de CEA com pontos de corte variando entre 20 e 200 ng/mL é fator prognóstico independente (7,13,14,22,30,35,45) . Apesar de não haver unanimidade quanto a esse ser fator prognóstico independente, há consenso na literatura de que o nível pré-operatório de CEA, qualquer que seja, não contra-indica a ressecção hepática de metástases colorretais.…”
