Does Location of the Tumor Affect Prognosis, Survival, and Relapse in Patients With Stage 3 Colorectal Cancers?

Abstract

Objective: There are many factors that affect prognosis in colorectal cancers. Recent studies have shown the effect of tumor location on the prognosis. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the relationship between tumor location and the overall survival and recurrence rate in patients with stage 3 colon cancer.Material and Methods: Patients diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer and followed up at the Akdeniz University Medical Faculty were included in the study. 231 patients' information was accessed retrospectively using the hospital database. Patients were grouped into right and left colon cancers similar to those in the literature according to tumor location, and all data were analyzed.Results: 171 74% patients had left colon cancer whereas right colon cancer was present in 60 26% . There was no significant relationship between the tumor location and recurrence rates of the patients p=0.82 . The mean overall survival for left colon cancers was 97.5±6.6 95% CI, 84.6110.5 months; for right colon cancers it was 74.3±5.7 95% CI, 63.0-85.5 months. Although the mean duration of overall survival was higher in left colon cancers, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups p=0.38 Conclusion: We think that there may be a relationship between tumor location and prognosis in colon cancer. In our study, the prognosis was worse in right colon cancer but no statistically significant difference was found between the groups. The relationship between tumor location and survival in stage 3 disease could not be shown clearly. Future studies on this subject may be useful in clinical practice
