The Role of Surgical Intervention in Primary Colorectal Lymphoma: A SEER Population-based Analysis
Overview
Affiliations
Background: Primary colorectal lymphoma (PCL) is a rare colorectal malignancy. The standard treatment and prognostic factors of PCL remain unexplored. Therefore, a large population-based study should be conducted to provide a detailed review of this disease.
Methods: We extracted the data of eligible patients with PCL registered in the SEER database from 1973 to 2011. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 19.0.
Results: A total of 2050 (61.3%) of the 3342 patients with PCL underwent surgical intervention, and 1292 (38.7%) patients received no surgical treatment. The median overall survival was 95 months, and patients receiving surgery exhibited significantly prolonged survival (adjusted HR =0.69, P <0.001). Young age, early tumor stage, and indolent lymphoma were independent predictors of improved survival. Further survival analyses demonstrated the potential benefit of surgery in patients with early tumor stage, right-sided lesions, or diffuse large B-cell PCL. Conversely, surgical intervention did not improve the survival of patients with advanced-stage, left-sided, or indolent PCL.
Conclusion: PCL is a rare tumor that can be effectively treated. Surgical intervention may play an important role in the treatment of PCL. Early tumor stage, a right-sided lesion, and diffuse large B-cell histological PCL seem to be the clinical characteristics of optimal surgical candidates.
