e15005 Background: The study discusses clinicopathological features of colorectal cancer with extranodal tumor deposits(ENTDs) and investigates whether ENTDs is a poor prognostic factor. Methods: 1. Clinicopathological data and follow-up of colorectal cancer with ENTDs who underwent surgery between June 2007 and June 2010 in seven hospitals in North China were collected retrospectively. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Cox proportional hazards model was used for multivariate analysis of prognostic factors. 2. The literatures on ENTDs and postoperative survival rate in colorectal cancer published from 1990 to 2016 were retrieved in English literature databases such as MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science and Chinese literature databases such as CNKI. Meta-analysis was conducted by Review Manager 5.3 software. Results: 1. A total of 253 cases of colorectal cancer with ENTDs were collected. The 5-year survival with only one ENTD was 49.2% (87/177), with median survival time 60 months. The 5-year survival with more than one ENTD was 17.1% (13/76), with median survival time 44 months. Cox regression analysis revealed that age, tumor size, number of ENTDs, N, m stage, surgical approach and adjuvant treatment were independent risk factors of prognosis of colorectal cancer with ENTDs. 2. The total sample size of the studies was 4731 cases with ENTDs (+) 917 cases. Meta analysis showed that: 5-year overall survival and 5-year relapse-free survival rate were significantly lower in ENTDs (+) group than ENTDs (-) group for colorectal cancer (OR:respectively 0.25,0.30; 95% CI:respectively 0.17-0.37,0.22-0.41; both P < 0.00001); 5-year overall survival rates were both significantly lower in ENTDs (+) group than ENTDs (-) group for patients with N0 and N+ colorectal cancer (N0 group: P = 0.003; N+ group: P = 0.0008; both P < 0.05). Conclusions: 1.Age, tumor size, number of ENTDs, N, m stage, surgical approach and adjuvant treatment were independent risk factors of prognosis of colorectal cancer with ENTDs. 2. ENTDs was a poor prognostic factor in colorectal cancer. The effect of ENTDs on postoperative survival rate might resemble that of between lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis.

Stage Iv Colorectal Cancer

Abstract Background: A prognosis for stage IV colorectal cancer is generally poor. As a result, the development of an appropriate treatment strategy for each individual with this disease within a limited time frame is important. In various malignancies, preoperative high C-reactive protein (CRP) levels may be a possible poor prognostic factor. However, few studies have been made of CRP in stage IV cases of colorectal cancer so it is unclear whether CRP is a useful prognostic marker for this disease. Thus, the purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between the preoperative CRP level and the prognosis of stage IV colorectal cancer.Patients and methods: Between April 2007 and December 2015, 384 patients with stage IV colorectal cancer who underwent primary resection were included. Patients were divided into high (HCG) and low (LCG) CRP groups based on a preoperative CRP cut-off value of ³1.0 mg/dL. Postoperative short- and long-term results were examined retrospectively.Results: Preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels were higher in HCG; the number of R0 surgical resections of distant metastases was smaller. The 5-year survival rate was 24.6% for HCG and 36.7% for LCG, indicating the survival rate for HCG was lower. A multivariate analysis of factors affecting survival rates identified CRP >1.0, histopathological type, positive venous infiltration, and R0 inoperability as risk factors. The rate of R0 resection was higher in LCG. Concerning R0 resection patients, differences between HCG and LCG with regard to background factors, including preoperative CEA levels, were not found. In terms of long-term survival, a significant difference in overall survival between the two groups was not observed. The study was limited to patients who were unable to undergo R0 surgery. Preoperative CEA levels were higher in HCG while the postoperative chemotherapy induction rate was lower. HCG also showed a significantly lower survival rate than LCG. Multivariate analysis showed that CRP levels above 1.0 mg/dL, poorly differentiated histopathology, and the absence of chemotherapy were risk factors affecting overall survival.Conclusion: These results suggest that the preoperative CRP level may be a useful biomarker for the prognosis of incurable stage IV colorectal cancer.

Rectal Cancers

Colon and rectal cancers are usually combined under the same term "colorectal cancer". It should be noted that the lesion of the colon is much more common. Colorectal cancer ranks fourth in the overall structure of oncological pathology in terms of prevalence, and in some countries even comes third after lung and stomach cancer. Risk factors that contribute to the development of colorectal cancer include bowel polyps, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, and a genetic predisposition. Most often, neoplastic transformation occurs at the site of an adenoma or dysplastic lesion of the intestinal mucosa. Due to the high risk of neoplastic process in a sufficiently large number of elderly people, it is recommended that every person over the age of 50 should undergo compulsory screening to detect latent cancer. The simplest, but at the same time insufficiently informative method is a blood culture test - analysis for the presence of blood in the feces. Method of total colonoscopy and double-contrast radiography is distinguished by a higher information content, but at the same time a higher cost. It is recommended to have these examinations every three to five years after the age of 50 years without clinical manifestations, and after the age of 40 for those at risk for colorectal cancer.

Abstract Background Few large-sample studies in China have focused on the early survival of dental implants. The present study aimed to report the early survival rates of implants and determine the related influencing factors. Methods All patients receiving dental implants at our institution between 2006 and 2017 were included. The endpoint of the study was early survival rates of implants, according to gender, age, maxilla/mandible, dental position, bone augmentation, bone augmentation category, immediate implant, submerged implant category, implant diameter, implant length, implant torque, and other related factors. Initially, SPSS22.0 was used for statistical analysis. The Chi-square test was used to screen all factors, and those with p < 0.05 were further introduced into a multiple logistic regression model to illustrate the risk factors for early survival rates of implants. Results In this study, we included 1078 cases (601 males and 477 females) with 2053 implants. After implantation, 1974 implants were retained, and the early survival rate was 96.15%. Patients aged 30–60 years (OR  2.392), with Class I bone quality (OR  3.689), bone augmentation (OR  1.742), immediate implantation (OR  3.509), and implant length < 10 mm (OR  2.972), were said to possess risk factors conducive to early survival rates. Conclusions The early survival rate of implants in our cohort exceeded 96%, with risk factors including age, tooth position, bone quality, implant length, bone augmentation surgery, and immediate implantation. When the above factors coexist, implant placement should be treated carefully.

Abstractwas to assess patients’ awareness of the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer.Patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer, hospitalised at the Department of General and Colorectal Surgery of the Medical University in Łódź during the period from January 2015 to April 2015, were asked to complete a questionnaire concerning their families’ medical case record, factors predisposing them to the development of colorectal cancer, the tests applied in diagnostics, and the treatment process. The questionnaire comprised 42 closed-ended questions with one correct answer. A statistical analysis of all answers was carried out.The study group consisted of 30 men and 20 women aged 27–94 years old. A strong, statistically significant negative correlation between a patient’s age and his/her awareness of the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer was noted (p<0.001; r= −0.51). The study demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between the occurrence of neoplasms in a patient’s family (p=0.009) or, more specifically, the occurrence of colorectal cancer (p=0.008), and the awareness of the prevention programme. The women’s group was characterised by statistically significantly greater awareness of colonoscopy as a screening examination (p=0.004).Patients need more information on colorectal cancer, its risk factors, prevention, the treatment process, and postoperative care. Lack of awareness of the colorectal cancer issue can be one of the major factors contributing to the high incidence of this disease.

Risk Of Cancer

Abstract Background As treatment for cardiovascular disease (CVD) has improved substantially over the last decades, more patients survive acute CVD manifestations and are at risk for developing cancer as well as recurrent CVD. Due to similar risk factors, including smoking and obesity, patients with established CVD are at higher risk for cancer. Objectives The aim of this study was to develop and externally validate prediction models for the estimation of 10-year and lifetime risk for total, colorectal, and lung cancer in patients with established CVD. Methods Data from patients with established CVD from the UCC-SMART prospective cohort study (N=7,280) were used for model development, and data from the CANTOS trial (N=9,322) were used for model validation. Predictors were selected based on previously published cancer risk prediction models or cancer risk factors, easy clinical availability, and availability in the derivation dataset (UCC-SMART cohort). A Fine and Gray competing risk-adjusted lifetime model was developed for total, colorectal, and lung cancer. Results Selected predictors were age, sex, smoking status, weight, height, alcohol use, antiplatelet use, diabetes mellitus, and C-reactive protein. External calibration for 4-year risks of the total cancer, colorectal cancer, and lung cancer models was good (Figure 1), and C-statistics were 0.63–0.74 in the CANTOS trial population. Median predicted lifetime risks in CANTOS were 26% (range 1%-52%) for total cancer, 4% (range 0%-13%) for colorectal cancer, and 5% (range 0%-37%) for lung cancer. Conclusions Lifetime and 10-year risk of cancer can be estimated with easy to measure variables in patients with established CVD, showing a wide distribution of predicted lifetime risks for total cancer and lung cancer. Using these lifetime models in clinical practice could increase understanding of cancer risk and aid in emphasizing healthy lifestyle changes. Figure 1.
