Abstract

Purpose

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) has limited value as a standalone predictor of the survival in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). D-dimer (DD) is a predictor of the survival in patients with metastatic CRC. We aimed to predict the prognosis in patients undergoing curative resection for the treatment of CRC by integrating the evaluation of preoperative CEA and DD concentrations with the pathological classification for stage grouping (pStage).

Methods

The study enrolled 304 patients between 2007 and 2012. The Combination of DD and CEA Score (CDCS) awarded 1 point each for a CEA concentration of > 5.0 ng/ml and DD concentration of > 1.0 μg/ml. Patients were classified according to the total points: CDCS 2, increased DD and CEA concentrations; CDCS 1, increased concentration of either DD or CEA; CDCS 0, normal concentrations.

Results

The overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) were significantly lower in patients with CDCS 2 than in those with CDCS 1 or 0. The pStage and CDCS were not independent prognostic predictors of the OS but were predictors of the RFS. The C-index value of the combination of the pStage and CDCS was better than that of either alone for the OS and RFS.

Conclusion

The combination of the pStage and CDCS accurately predicts relapse in 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.
