Background: Tumor deposits are one of the important
influencing factors among the different editions of Tumor, Node, Metastasis classification.
Incidence and prognosis of tumor deposits in stage I, II, and III colorectal
cancer patients has been explored. The aim of this study was to determine the
prognostic value of tumor deposits in stage IV colorectal cancer patients who
underwent simultaneous resection for synchronous colorectal liver metastases
(SCRLM).
Methods: Clinicopathological
and outcome data of 146 consecutive SCRLM patients who underwent simultaneous
R0 resection between July 2003 and July 2013 were collected from our prospectively
established SCRLM database. The prognostic value of tumor deposits was
evaluated by Kaplan–Meier and Cox regression analysis.
Results: Tumor deposits were
detected in 41.8% (61/146) of these SCRLM patients. Tumor deposits were
significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis and nerve invasion of the
primary tumors (P =0.002, P =0.041; respectively). The
Kaplan–Meier survival analysis revealed that the overall survival (OS) and
disease-free survival (DFS) of SCRLM patients with tumor deposits were
significantly poorer than those with no tumor deposits (P =0.039, P =0.001; respectively). And with
multivariate analysis, we found that positive tumor deposits were significantly
associated with shorter DFS independent of lymph node status (P =0.002). Subgroup analysis found
that of the 57 SCRLM patients with negative lymph node status, the OS and DFS
of patients with positive tumor deposits were significantly shorter than those
with negative tumor deposits (P =0.002 and P =0.031, respectively). Of the 89 patients
with positive lymph node status, the OS of patients with tumor deposits was not
significantly different than those without tumor deposits (P =0.965); however, the DFS of
patients with tumor deposits was significantly shorter than those with no tumor
deposits (P =0.034).
Conclusion: Tumor deposits may
be an independent adverse prognostic factor in SCRLM patients who underwent
simultaneous R0 resection.
