Background The prognostic nutritional index (PNI), which is calculated based on the serum albumin concentration and peripheral blood lymphocyte count, is a useful tool for predicting short-term and long-term postoperative outcome in patients undergoing cancer surgery. However, few studies have investigated PNI in colorectal cancer surgery. We examined the ability of PNI to predict short- and long-term outcomes in patients with colorectal cancer. Methods This retrospective study included 365 patients who underwent resection for colorectal cancer. The prognostic nutritional status was calculated on the basis of admission data as follows: 10 × serum albumin (g/dl) + 0.005 × total lymphocyte count (per mm 3). The primary outcomes measured were the impact of PNI on overall survival and postoperative complications. Results Kaplan–Meier analysis and the log rank test revealed that low PNI was significantly associated with poor survival ( P < 0.0001). In multivariate analysis for survival, preoperative low PNI was an independent prognostic factor for poor survival: odds ratio: 2.25, 95 % confidence interval 1.42–3.59). Moreover, low PNI significantly correlated with the incidence of postoperative complications, especially serious ones. Conclusions Preoperative PNI is a useful predictor of postoperative complications and survival in patients with colorectal cancer. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between the preoperative and postoperative systemic inflammatory response and survival in patients undergoing potentially curative resection for colorectal cancer. METHODS: One hundred and eighty patients with colorectal cancer were studied. Circulating concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured before surgery and in the immediate postoperative period. RESULTS: The peak in CRP concentration occurred on day 2 (P < 0.001). During the course of the study 59 patients died, 30 from cancer and 29 from intercurrent disease. Day 2 CRP concentrations were dichotomized. In univariable analysis, advanced tumour node metastasis stage (P = 0.002), a raised preoperative CRP level (P < 0.001) and the presence of hypoalbuminaemia (P = 0.043) were associated with poorer cancer-specific survival. CONCLUSION: Preoperative but not postoperative CRP concentrations are associated with poor tumour-specific survival in patients undergoing potentially curative resection for colorectal cancer. 相似文献

Abstract Objective To investigate the difference of clinicopathologic characteristics between young and old colorectal cancer patients and the prognosis of young patients. Methods Young ??≤40 years old?? n=398?? and old ??60-70 years old?? n=398?? patients diagnosed as colorectal cancer from January 2012 to December 2016 in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were included in the retrospective study and their clinicopathologic characteristics were compared. Survival data were obtained by follow-up examinations and the last time of follow-up was December 2017. Survival rate was calculated and the survival curve was drew by Kaplan-Meier. Log-rank test was conducted to compare the difference of survival rate and Cox regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of prognosis. Results Young colorectal cancer was associated with higher proportion of family history ??P??0.001???? ?? and ?? stages of TNM ??P=0.015???? neoadjuvant therapy ??P??0.001??, anemia (P=0.017) and positive rate of preoperative CEA ??P??0.001???? as well as lower albumin ??P??0.001?? and BMI ??P??0.001??. Postoperative pathology showed that larger volume ??P??0.001???? more invasive behavior ??P=0.023???? poorer differentiation ??P=0.003?? and higher proportion of mucinous adenocarcinoma were found in young colorectal cancer. The three-years survival rate were 85.5% and 85.6% in the young and old grouprespectively. Univariable and multivariable prognostic analysis showed that there was no significant difference in overall survival between groups. Multivariable analysis of prognosis in young patients with colorectal cancer showed that IV stgage??HR?? 10.85?? 95% CI?? 4.698-25.050??P??0.001?? and lymphovascular invasion ??HR??4.283??95%CI??1.956-9.378??P??0.001?? were independent risk factors of prognosis. Conclusion The clinicopathologic characteristics are different between the young and old colorectal cancer?? while the overall survival rate is not significantly different. IV stage and lymphovascular invasion are independent risk factors of prognosis in young patients with colorectal cancer. 相似文献

The safety and efficacy of surgical treatment for colorectal cancer in patients older than 80 years of age are seldom assessed. The aim of the present study was to compare short- and long-term outcomes after surgery between younger and elderly patients at a single nonteaching hospital. In all, 342 consecutive patients who underwent surgical resection for invasive primary colorectal cancer between April 1999 and April 2007 were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups according to their age at the time of surgery, those younger than 79 years of age (n = 283) and those older than 80 years of age (n = 59). A greater proportion of elderly patients had concurrent disease before surgery, right-sided colon cancer, and postoperative complications. Cox proportional hazards model (multivariate analysis) identified three independent risk factors for a poor outcome after surgery (excluding death by other causes): 1) the presence of preoperative symptoms; 2) noncurative resection for colorectal cancer; and 3) the presence of lymph node metastases. Age older than 80 years was not a risk factor for a poor postoperative prognosis. At our nonteaching hospital, surgical resection appears to be a safe and beneficial treatment option for elderly patients (older than 80 years of age) who have colorectal cancer. 相似文献

Background Owing to the increased life expectancy, elderly patients with gastric cancer is also increasing. Onodera’s prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is an assessment tool for nutritional status of surgical patients and possibly predicts prognosis of the patients. The aim of the present study is to clarify the predictive and prognostic significance of PNI in elderly patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Methods Two hundred ninety-five patients, including 196 nonelderly patients under 75?years old (group NE) and 99 elderly patients (group E), were eligible. We collected the data on nutritional status and the outcome of gastrectomy, including morbidity, mortality, and survival of these patients. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the prognostic significance. Results The PNI was significantly lower in group E than in group NE. Both morbidity and mortality rates after gastrectomy were similar between the groups. Although PNI could not predict the postoperative events in group NE, low PNI might be a risk of mortality and morbidity in the elderly. Although survival after gastrectomy was similar among groups divided by the median PNI value (49.2) in group NE, the prognosis of PNI-L (<44.7) was significantly poorer than PNI-H (PNI?≧?44.7) in group E. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that PNI-L was an independent prognostic factor in the elderly. Conclusions The PNI predicts both short-term and long-term outcomes after gastrectomy in the elderly. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Clinical, social and survival outcomes in elderly patients undergoing bowel cancer surgery were studied to explore the justification for the current upper age limit in colorectal cancer screening programmes. METHODS: Scottish national data were analysed to determine age-specific population survival following a diagnosis of colorectal cancer. Detailed analysis of outcome variables was undertaken in a cohort of 180 patients aged over 80 years who underwent resection of colorectal cancer. RESULTS: Population analysis revealed that the absolute risk of developing colorectal cancer was highest in those aged over 80 years, but relative survival was disproportionately poor. Of 180 patients in this age group, 30.0 per cent required an emergency procedure and only 4.6 per cent had Dukes' stage A tumours. Determinants of all-cause mortality were tumour stage (P < 0.001) and degree of co-morbidity (P = 0.004). Some 88.0 per cent of elderly patients returned to the same category of accommodation as that before admission. CONCLUSION: Colorectal cancer is increasingly common in people aged over 80 years and survival is disproportionately poor compared with that in other age groups. Elective management of early-stage cancer has a better outcome than emergency surgery. The majority of patients maintain social independence. These population and hospital data provide a rationale for early, and even presymptomatic, detection of colorectal cancer in the elderly. 相似文献

Objectives: To identify the prognostic significance of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and perineural invasion (PNI) in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. Methods: Overall, 237 patients who had undergone radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer between 1995 and 2004 were analyzed for all clinical and pathological factors. The influence of these two pathological features on biochemical failure-free survival was evaluated by univariate and multivariate analysis. Results: Lymphovascular and perineural invasion were identified in 41 (17.2%) and 100 (42.0%) patients, respectively. LVI and PNI were significantly associated with the preoperative prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, a higher PSA density, a higher pathological stage, a higher Gleason score, a higher frequency of extracapsular extension, a higher frequency of seminal vesicle invasion, and a higher frequency of a positive resection margin. Positive resection margins ( P = 0.001) and perineural invasion ( P = 0.011) were identified as independent factors associated with biochemical failure-free survival by the multivariate analysis. Conclusions: In this series, PNI was associated with established parameters of biologically aggressive disease, and was an important prognostic factor for biochemical failure-free survival in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. This finding supports routine evaluation of the PNI status in radical prostatectomy specimens and suggests that patients with PNI should be more closely followed after surgery. 相似文献
