Methods: We identified the cases of 114 consecutive patients who underwent the surgery at our Hospital between January 2006 and December 2012 by using the multivariate analysis, the Cox proportional-hazard regression model. Results: Multivariate analysis for the predictors of survival showed metastatic lesion resection [hazard ratio (HR) = 3.2, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.6 - 6.6;p = 0.007] and only primary lesion resection (HR = 1.9, 95% CI 1.1 - 4.0;p = 0.045) remained independently significant prognostic factors. Therefore, we divided in 3 groups, 1) metastatic lesion resection group with primary lesion resection (n = 52 in the Met/Prim lesion group), 2) primary lesion resection without metastatic lesion resection (n = 38 in the Primary lesion group) and 3) palliative operation (n = 24 in the Palliative group). Age was the only independent risk factor in the Met/Prim lesion group. In the Primary lesion group, Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) > 5, elevated Alanine aminotransferase and patients without chemotherapy were correlated with poor survival. In the Palliative group, NLR > 5 and patients who could not be treated with chemotherapy remained independent predictors of worse survival. Conclusions: NLR is not only simple and convenient for classification of patients, but also one of the important predictors of mortality for stage IV incurable CRC patients.展开更多

Methods: We identified the cases of 913 consecutive patients who underwenturgery for colorectal cancerat our University Hospital between January 2005and December2016. We divided the patients into thosewith and those without chylous ascites and compared the two groups by age, gender, body mass index, tumor location, T, N factor, stage, operation time, intra-operative bleeding, and duration of postoperative hospital stay. Results: Chylous ascites developed in 8 of the 913 patients (0.8%). Neither age, sex, tumor location, and body mass indexnor number of lymph nodeswereassociated with postoperative chylous ascites. Ascites occurred significantly less frequently in the early stage of colorectal cancer than in the late stage (p = 0.04). There was no significant difference between the groups in operative factors, including operation time and blood loss. Postoperative hospital stays were longer in patients with chylous ascites (20.5 days) than in those without (11 days) (p = 0.02). Conclusions: Late stage was one of the risk factors for chylous ascites in the present study. Other risks, such as tumor location and blood loss,will vary from institution to institution.展开更多
