Abstract

Purpose

The benefit of adjuvant radiotherapy in patients with stage IIA (T3N0) rectal cancer following total mesorectal excision (TME) is controversial. We evaluated the effect of adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) versus chemotherapy (CT) alone on the local recurrence and survival of patients with stage IIA rectal cancer after TME.

Methods

Between 1996 and 2004, patients with stage IIA rectal cancer who received adjuvant CT (n = 29) or CRT (n = 122) following TME were enrolled. Oncologic outcomes were compared between groups, and risk factors for local recurrence and overall survival rates were analyzed.

Results

The median follow-up period was 78 months. No significant differences were observed in the 5-year local recurrence (3.4% versus 9.0%; P = 0.348) or 5-year overall survival rates (86.2% versus 80.3%; P = 0.924) between CT and CRT. However, involvement of the circumferential resection margin and age >60 years were associated with adverse oncologic outcomes.

Conclusions

Additional postoperative radiotherapy did not alter local recurrence or survival after TME in patients with stage IIA rectal cancer. Postoperative radiation may be an overtreatment as an adjuvant therapy in patients with stage IIA rectal cancer if they had no other risk factors. However, randomized controlled trials are warranted to confirm this suggestion.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
