Background: T4 is one of the high-risk factors, but the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy for T4-Stage Ⅱ colon cancer are unclear.
Method: We retrospectively reviewed 211 patients with primary pStage Ⅱ colon cancer who underwent radical resection between 2004 and 2015.
Results: The 5-year overall survival rate(OS)of Stage ⅡA/ⅡB/ⅡC were 90.2/83.4/ 59.2%, and the 5-year recurrence-free survival rate(RFS)were 87.3/73.3/42.8%. Multivariate analysis of OS as a high-risk factor of T4 revealed male, ly2/3, no adjuvant chemotherapy, and in RFS, male, ly2/3. However, compared the cases with or without adjuvant chemotherapy, 5-year OS was no difference. There were no cases used oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy.
Conclusion: An adjuvant chemotherapy without oxaliplatin were not enough to improve the prognoses of T4-Stage Ⅱcolon cancer, so the oxaliplatin based regimen might be recommended.
