The natural history of primary and secondary malignant tumors of the liver I.The prognosis for patients with hepatic metastases from colonic and rectal carcinoma by laparotomy

Abstract: In a series of 156 patients operated on for colonic and rectal carcinoma, 38 were shown to have hepatic metastases. Twenty‐four of them died within 6 months, 30 within 12 months, and all except one within 18 months. The survival rate was not influenced by the age of the patient, location of the primary tumor or the type of palliative large bowel operation performed. The patients with elevated alkaline phosphatases at the time of operation had a shorter mean survival than those with normal values.

“…A sobrevida de pacientes com metástases hepáticas de câncer colorretal não-ressecadas é em torno de 9 meses (29) . As metástases hepáticas de câncer colorretal se desenvolvem em geral nos 2 anos subseqüentes à ressecção do tumor primário, são mais freqüentes nos pacientes com estágio Dukes C (32) e são sincrônicas com o tumor primário em torno de 25% das vezes (4) .…”

“…The clinical problem arises from the fact that tumour cells circulate and metastasize to the liver and to other distant sites, these metastases being the main cause of death in colon cancer (Bengmark and Hafstrom, 1969;Ho et al, 1994). Most of the previous meta-analytic studies of randomized clinical trials of tumour response rate and overall survival could not find definitive proof of the benefits of systemic chemotherapy (Buyse et al,1.988).…”

“…Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed among men and women and the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States 13 . Metastatic or recurrent disease is the most common cause of death in this patients 14 . Despite extensive research into the biology of cancer progression, the molecular mechanisms involved in colorectal cancer metastasis are not well characterized.…”
