Background: To determine a population-based comparative matched overall survival analysis for patients undergoing curative resection for sigmoid, rectosigmoid, and rectal cancers stage by stage.
Methods: Patients who underwent curative surgery for nonmetastatic adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid, rectosigmoid, and rectum between 2000 and 2020 were identified using the US SEER cancer registry data. Each anatomical subsegment was matched in a 1:1 ratio based on age, sex, time of surgery, grade of differentiation, and histopathological stage.
Introduction: In the United States, while most nonmalignant polyps are effectively treated through endoscopic removal, colectomy remains a treatment option for selected cases of nonmalignant polyps (NMPs) and colon cancer. This study aimed to compare postoperative outcomes for colectomies in these two conditions, hypothesizing similar complication rates.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2015 to 2021, including patients who underwent elective colectomies for colon cancer or NMPs.
Background: Incomplete mesorectal excision during rectal cancer surgery often leads to positive circumferential margins, with uncertain prognostic impacts. This study examines whether negative margins can mitigate the poorer prognosis typically associated with incomplete total mesorectal excision (TME) in rectal cancer surgery, thus potentially challenging the prevailing emphasis on complete mesorectal excision.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent proctectomy for rectal adenocarcinoma with incomplete TME at a single center from 2010 to 2022.
