Özet
13584 Background: Surgical resection is the cornerstone of curative therapy for rectal cancer. Relapse rate following potentially curative resection is high in patients with stage II/III disease. Thus, chemoradiotherapy is the standard adjuvant treatment in resected stage II/III rectal carcinoma. There are limited studies, if any, analyzing the outcome of rectal cancer patients with stage II/III who received adjuvant chemoradiotherapy after curative resection in Turkey. Therefore, we aimed to analyze the treatment outcome, and the prognostic significance of various parameters in these patients. Methods: 106 patients with stage II/III rectal cancer treated with adjuvant chemoradiotherapy since 1997 until present were analyzed retrospectively. Patients received 5-fluorouracil (370–425mg/m2/day × 5days) and calcium leucovorin (20mg/m2/day × 5days), q4weeks, two courses before and two courses after radiotherapy. The 5-fluorouracil dose was reduced to, 225mg/m2/day given continuously as protracted short-term infusion during radiotherapy. 45–50.4 Gy radiotherapy was given to the pelvic region. Patients were followed-up every 3 months for the first 2 years and every 6 months thereafter. Age, gender, T stage, N stage, histological grade, lymphatic, vascular, and perineural invasion were analyzed as prognostic factors. Results: The median follow-up was 34 months. Median age was 59.5 years. Forty-four percent of the patients were node-negative. Lymphatic, vascular, and perineural invasion rate were 50.5%, 47.3%, and 32.3% respectively. Five-year disease-free and overall survival rates were 68.8% and 72.2%, respectively. Median survival time and median disease free-survival time were not reached at the time of analysis. In multivariate Cox regression analysis; T stage (p: 0.022), nodal stage (0.019), presence of lymphatic invasion (p: 0.0001), and the presence of vascular invasion (p:0.01) were independent prognostic factors. Conclusion: The adjuvant treatment outcome in Turkish patients in our department with stage II/III rectal cancer is similar to those reported in the Western studies.
