Abstract

Purpose

Cancer-induced spiculation (CIS) on computed tomography, which is reticular or linear opacification of the pericolorectal fat tissues around the cancer site, is generally regarded as cancer infiltration into T3 or T4, but its clinicopathological significance is unknown. This study examines the correlation between CIS and clinicopathological findings to establish its prognostic value.

Methods

The subjects of this retrospective study were 335 patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), who underwent curative surgery between January, 2010 and December, 2011, at the National Defense Medical College Hospital in Saitama Prefecture, Japan.

Results

The level of interobserver agreement in the evaluation of CIS was substantial (83%; kappa value, 0.65). The presence of CIS was specific for T3/T4 disease (positive predictive value, 88.3%), and was significantly associated with tumor size and venous invasion. The 5-year relapse-free survival rate was significantly lower in patients with CIS than in those without CIS (68.6% and 84.0%, respectively, p = 0.001). Subgroup analysis revealed remarkable prognostic differences in patients with stage III and T3 disease. Multivariate analysis revealed that CIS was a significant independent prognostic factor.

Conclusions

CIS was a significant preoperative prognostic factor and could be useful in the selection of preoperative therapy for patients with CRC.

Neu im Fachgebiet Chirurgie

Antibiotika bei Erwachsenen mit Appendizitis oft ausreichend

Bei etwa zwei Drittel aller Erwachsenen mit akuter Appendizitis könnte eine antibiotische Behandlung ausreichen, wie eine Metaanalyse nahelegt. Die Komplikationsrate war insgesamt gering, auch wenn letztlich doch eine Op. fällig wurde.

Katheterablation bei Vorhofflimmern: Ist frühe Intervention von Vorteil?

Bei Patienten mit Vorhofflimmern scheinen die Therapieergebnisse bezüglich Rezidivfreiheit bei frühzeitiger Katheterablation besser zu sein als bei später erfolgter Ablation. Dafür sprechen Ergebnisse einer aktuellen Registeranalyse. 

Beugt Tranexamsäure schweren Blutungen auch in der Allgemeinchirurgie vor?

Ergebnisse einer Subgruppenanalyse der POISE-3-Studie sprechen dafür, dass eine Prophylaxe mit Tranexamsäure auch bei allgemeinchirurgischen Eingriffen das Risiko für schwere Blutungen senkt.

Höhere Anspannung vor der Op. führt offenbar zu besserem Ergebnis

Ein gewisses Maß an Stress zu Beginn der Op. wirkt sich möglicherweise positiv auf das Gelingen aus, so ein Team aus Boston. Die Komplikationsrate ging unter diesen Umständen signifikant zurück.
