Objective:To investigate clinical efficacy of conformal sphincter preservation operation (CSPO) versus intersphincteric resection (ISR) in the treatment of low rectal cancer.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 183 patients with low rectal cancer who were admitted to two medical centers (117 in the Changhai Hospital of Naval Medical University and 66 in the Huashan Hospital of Fudan University) from August 2011 to April 2020 were collected. There were 110 males and 73 females, aged (57±11)years. Of 183 patients, 117 cases undergoing CSPO were allocated into CSPO group, and 66 cases undergoing ISR were allocated into ISR group, respectively. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations of patients with low rectal cancer in the two groups; (2) postoperative complications of patients with low rectal cancer in the two groups; (3) follow-up; (4) influencing factors for prognosis of patients with low rectal cancer; (5) influencing factors for satisfaction with the anal function of patients with low rectal cancer. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination, questionnaire and telephone interview to determine local recurrence, distal metastasis, survival, stomal closure, satisfaction with the anal function of patients. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range). Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data was analyzed using the rank sum test.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves, and life table method was used to calculate survival rates. Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. Univariate analysis was performed using the linear regression. Variables with P<0.10 in the univariate linear regression analysis were included for multivariate analysis. Multivariate analysis was performed using the COX stepwise regression model and linear regression analysis. Results:(1) Surgical situations of patients with low rectal cancer in the two groups: cases with laparoscopic surgery, operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, distance from tumor to distal margin, cases with postoperative chemotherapy, duration of postoperative hospital stay were 44, (165±54)minutes, (142±101)mL, (0.6±0.4)cm, 76, (6.6±2.5)days for the CSPO group, respectively, versus 55, (268±101)minutes, (91±85)mL, (1.9±0.6)cm, 9, (7.9±4.7)days for the ISR group, showing significant differences between the two groups ( χ2=35.531, t=8.995, -3.437, -3.088, χ2=44.681, t=2.267, P<0.05). (2) Postoperative complications of patients with low rectal cancer in the two groups: 19 patients in the CSPO group had complications. There were 6 cases with grade Ⅰ complications, 12 cases with grade Ⅱ complications, 1 case with grade Ⅲb complication. Fourteen patients in the ISR group had complications. There were 4 cases with grade Ⅰ complications, 7 cases with grade Ⅱ complications, 1 case with grade Ⅲa complication, 2 cases with grade Ⅲb complications. There was no significant difference in the postoperative complications between the two groups ( χ2=0.706, P>0.05). Patients with complications in the two groups were improved after symptomatic and supportive treatment. There was no perioperative death in the postoperative 30 days of the two groups. (3) Follow-up: 183 patients received follow-up. Patients of the CSPO group and ISR group were followed up for (41±27)months and (37±19)months, respectively, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( t=-1.104, P>0.05). There were 2 cases with local recurrence and 9 cases with distal metastasis of the CSPO group, respectively, versus 3 cases and 4 cases of the ISR group, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=1.277, 0.170, P>0.05). The 3-year disease-free survival rate and 3-year total survival rate were 84.0% and 99.0% for the CSPO group, versus 88.6% and 92.8% for the ISR group, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=0.218, 0.002, P>0.05). The stomal closure rate was 92.16%(94/102) and 96.97%(64/66) for 102 patients of CSPO group and 66 patients of ISR group up to postoperative 12 months,respectively, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=1.658, P>0.05). Of the 8 cases without stomal closure in the CSPO group, 2 cases refused due to advanced age, 4 cases subjectively refused, and 2 cases were irreducible due to scar caused by radiotherapy. Two cases in the ISR group had no stomal closure including 1 case of postoperative liver metastasis and 1 case of subjective refusal. There were 92 and 61 patients followed up to 12 months after stomal closure, of which 75 cases and 38 cases completed questionnaires of satisfaction with the anal function. The satisfaction score with the anal function was 6.8±2.8 and 5.4±3.0 for CSPO group and ISR group, respectively, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( t=-2.542, P<0.05). Fifty-four cases in the CSPO group and 21 cases in the ISR group had satisfaction score with the anal function >5, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=3.165, P>0.05). (4) Influencing factors for prognosis of patients with low rectal cancer: results of COX stepwise regression analysis showed that gender and pT staging were independent influencing factors for disease-free survival rate of patients with low rectal cancer ( hazard ratio=2.883, 1.963, 95% confidence interval as 1.090 to 7.622, 1.129 to 3.413, P<0.05). Gender and pT staging were independent influencing factors for total survival rate of patients with low rectal cancer ( hazard ratio=10.963,3.187, 95% confidence interval as 1.292 to 93.063, 1.240 to 8.188, P<0.05). (5) Influencing factors for satisfaction with the anal function of patients with low rectal cancer: results of univariate analysis showed that surgical method and tumor differentiation degree were related factors for satisfaction with the anal function of patients with low rectal cancer (partial regression coefficient=1.464, -1.580, 95% confidence interval as 0.323 to 2.605, -2.950 to -0.209, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that surgical method, tumor differentiation degree and preoperative radiotherapy were independent influencing factors for satisfaction with the anal function of patients with low rectal cancer (partial regression coefficient=1.637, -1.456, -1.668, 95% confidence interval as 0.485 to 2.788, -2.796 to -0.116, -2.888 to -0.447, P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with ISR, CSPO can safely preserve the anus in the treatment of low rectal cancer, without increasing the incidence of postoperative complications, which can also guarantee the oncological safety and improve the postoperative anal function.
RÉSUMÉ
Objective:This study aims to analyze the prognosis of patients who underwent a simultaneous operations for colorectal cancer and liver metastases, and to establish a prognostic scoring system for these patients.Methods:From January 2010 to March 2019, the clinicopathological data of patients with colorectal cancer and liver metastases simultaneously operated at Shanghai Changhai Hospital were collected. The clinicopathological prognostic factors on tumor recurrence and survival outcomes on follow-up were analyzed. Single and multiple factors Cox regression analyses were used to determine the risk factors which affected the prognosis of patients. Using the risk factors of poor prognosis on Cox analysis, 1 point was given to each risk factor. Patients were then divided into different groups according to the different total scores. The median overall survival and disease-free survival of each group were analyzed.Results:Of 234 patients included in this study, there were 126 males and 108 females. The average age was (57.4±10.8) years. The median survival was 44.85 months. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates of the whole group were 87.3%, 55.2%, and 22.9%, respectively. Primary tumor in right colon, preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen ≥200 ng/ml, multiple liver metastases, and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma/mucinous adenocarcinoma were independent risk factors of poor prognosis. After 1 point was given to each of the above 4 items, patients were then divided into the low-risk (0-1) and high-risk (2-4) groups. The median survivals of patients in the low-risk group ( n=174) and high-risk group ( n=60) were 53 months and 29 months, respectively. The corresponding median disease-free survivals were 21.34 months and 8.48 months, respectively. The differences between the 2 groups were significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The results of this study preliminary established a predictive scoring system for patients with simultaneous colorectal cancer and liver which can play a role in selecting treatment options for these patients.
RÉSUMÉ
Objective:To explore the value of MRI high-resolution T2WI based-radiomics in predicting pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancer.Methods:This retrospective study included 80 patients with rectal cancer confirmed by postoperative pathology, who underwent high-resolution imaging of rectal MRI before neoadjuvant therapy from January 2018 to March 2019 in our hospital. After manually delineating the volume of interest (VOI) of the lesion in the high-resolution T2WI image, the radiomics features were extracted, and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm was adopted to reduce the dimension and select the features that were valuable for tumor pCR. Using Random algorithm, the data were randomly divided into training set ( n=64) and test set ( n=16) for machine learning, and 4 kinds of machine learning models including decision tree (DT), logistic regression (LR), random forests (RF) and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) were established and ROC curves were drawn. The area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity and 95% CI were respectively calculated, and the difference of ROC curves was compared with DeLong test. Results:Among 80 patients with rectal cancer, there were 15 cases by pCR, accounting for 18.75%, and 65 cases were non-pCR, accounting for 81.25%. A total of 1 409 imaging features were extracted. After dimension reduction by LASSO algorithm, 8 most valuable features were selected. The AUC of DT, LR, RF and XGBoost in the test set group was 0.870, 0.801, 0.912, 0.945, the AUC of XGBoost was the largest, and the differences between XGBoost and DT, LR, RF were statistically significant ( P=0.008; P=0.006; P=0.009), and the pairwise comparisons of DT, LR, RF showed no statistically significant difference ( PLR-RF=0.083; PDT-LR=0.113; PDT-RF=0.879). The sensitivity was 78.57%, 64.29%, 78.57%, 85.71%, and the specificity was 95.38%, 84.62%, 92.31%, 98.46% respectively. The 95% CI was 0.775-0.935, 0.696-0.882, 0.827-0.964, 0.870-0.984. Conclusion:The radiomics based on high-resolution T2WI images has predictive value for pCR after neoadjuvant treatment of rectal cancer. XGBoost model has better predictive efficiency than DT, LR and RF, and can be used to guide clinical individualized treatment and related interventions.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the surgical efficacy and prognostic factors of T3NxM0 middle-low rectal cancer without neoadjuvant therapy.@*METHODS@#Clinical data of patients with middle-low rectal cancer undergoing TME surgery with T3NxM0 confirmed by postoperative pathology at Colorectal Surgery Department of Changhai Hospital from January 2008 to December 2010 were analyzed retrospectively.@*INCLUSION CRITERIA@#(1)no preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT); (2) complete preoperative evaluation, including medical history, preoperative colonoscopy or digital examination, blood tumor marker examination, and imaging examination; (3) distance between tumor lower margin and anal verge was ≤ 10 cm; (4) negative circumferential resection margin (CRM-). Finally, a total of 331 patients were included in this study. According to the number of metastatic lymph node confirmed by postoperative pathology, the patients were divided into N0 group without regional lymph node metastasis (190 cases) and N+ group with regional lymph node metastasis (141 cases). The perioperative conditions, local recurrence, distant metastasis and prognostic factors were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#Compared to N0 group in the perioperative data, N+ group had higher ratio of tumor deposit [29.8%(42/141) vs. 0, χ²=64.821, P0.05). The median follow-up period was 73.4 months. The merged 5-year local recurrence rate was 2.7%(9/331), 5-year distant metastasis rate was 23.3% (77/331), 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate was 73.4%, and 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 77.2%. Multivariate analysis showed that lymph node metastasis (HR=3.120, 95%CI: 1.918 to 5.075, P<0.001), nerve invasion (HR=0.345, 95%CI: 0.156 to 0.760, P=0.008) and vascular invasion (HR=0.428, 95%CI: 0.189 to 0.972, P=0.043) were independent risk factors for DFS in patients with T3NxM0 rectal cancer after operation. Preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen level (HR=1.858, 95%CI:1.121 to 3.079, P=0.016), lymph node metastasis (HR=3.320, 95%CI: 1.985 to 5.553, P<0.001) and nerve invasion (HR=0.339, 95%CI: 0.156 to 0.738, P=0.006) were independent risk factors for OS in patients with T3NxM0 rectal cancer after operation.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Optimal local control rate of middle-low rectal cancer patients with T3NxM0 and CRM- can be achieved by standard TME surgery alone. For patients with preoperative elevated blood carcinoembryonic antigen level, regional lymph node metastasis, or neurovascular invasion confirmed by pathology after surgery, adjuvant chemoradiotherapy should be actively applied after surgery to improve prognosis.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the relationship between tumor regression grade (TRG) and lymph node regression grade (LRG) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for rectal cancer and its clinical implication.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Clinicopathological data of 176 rectal cancer patients undergoing radical excision after neoadjuvant CRT from January 2005 to December 2013 in our department were retrospectively analyzed.</p><p><b>INCLUSION CRITERIA</b>(1) Radiology indicated locally advanced low rectal cancer and patients had strong desire to preserve the sphincter before neoadjuvant CRT; (2) there was no definite metastatic lesion before neoadjuvant CRT; (3) patients received whole course of neoadjuvant CRT (regular radiotherapy plus synchronous fluorouracil-like drugs chemotherapy); (4) patients underwent radical operation after neoadjuvant CRT. Patients with short-course CRT and emergency surgery were excluded. TRG and LRG of postoperative specimens (including tumor and lymph nodes) were carried out based on the percentage of the fibrosis and the cancer residue. No cancer residue was defined as TRG1 and LRG1; rare cancer cell residue as TRG2 and LRG2; fibrosis growth over residual cancer as TRG3 and LRG3; residual cancer growth over fibrosis as TRG4 and LRG4; absence of regressive changes as TRG5 and LRG5; and normal lymph nodes as LRG0. Spearman correlation test was used to assess the correlation between TRG and LRG.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Of 176 patients, 111 were men and 65 were women. The mean age was (53.9±13.0) years. The number of patients with stage I(, II(, and III( before operation was 10, 49 and 62 while other 55 patients were unknown. Transabdominal low anterior resection (LAR) was performed in 118 cases and abdominal-perineal resection(APR) in 47 cases following the principle of total mesorectal excision (TME). Postoperative pathology of specimens revealed that the number of patients from TRG1 to TRG5 was 19 (10.8%), 25 (14.2%), 66 (37.5%), 47 (26.7%), 19 (10.8%), and from LRG0 to LRG5 was 35 (19.9%), 68 (38.6%), 10 (5.7%), 14 (8.0%), 15(8.5%), 34 (19.3%), respectively. TRG was correlated to LRG (P=0.005) while the Spearman correlation coefficient was only 0.24. The analysis of subgroup without LRG1 also showed that TRG was correlated to LRG(P=0.0005) and the Spearman correlation coefficient was 0.40.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>TRG can not represent LRG. Therefore, both TRG and LRG should be assessed when evaluating the response of rectal cancer to neoadjuvant CRT.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To compare the clinicopathological features and prognosis between left-sided colon cancer (LC) and right-sided colon cancer (RC).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Clinicopathological and follow-up data of 2 174 colon carcinoma cases undergoing resection at Shanghai Changhai Hospital of The Second Military Medical University from January 2000 to December 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with transverse colon cancer, overlapping position, unknown location, recurrent cancer, multiple primary cancer, concomitant malignant tumors, preoperative chemotherapy, local resection, incomplete clinical data and missed follow up were excluded. Finally, a total of 1 036 patients, whose primary tumors were radically removed, were enrolled, with 563 patients in LC group (including carcinoma in cecum, ascending colon and hepatic flexure) and 473 in RC group (including carcinoma in splenic flexure, descending colon and sigmoid colon). The clinicopathological features and survival, including median overall survival, 5-year overall survival rate, tumor specific median overall survival, cancer specific 5-year overall survival rate, were compared between LC and RC groups. Tumor specific overall survival was defined as the period between operation date to the date of death caused by cancer progression. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of survival. Propensity score matching was carried out to balance the clinicopathological factors between the two groups with the SAS 9.3, taking the following parameters into consideration (age, gender, gross appearance, tumor diameter, invasion depth, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, TNM stages, differentiation, CEA and CA199-9). Patients in RC group and LC group were matched according to the propensity scores and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of two groups were compared again.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>No significant differences were identified between the two groups in age, distant metastasis and serum CEA level. Compared with RC group, LC group had more male patients [60.9%(343/563) vs. 51.0%(241/473), P=0.001], more ulcerative tumors [71.9% (405/563) vs. 65.3%(309/473), P=0.006], better differentiation [well/moderately differentiated: 87.5%(493/563) vs. 73.8%(349/473), P=0.000], lower infiltration depth [T1-2: 17.1%(96/563) vs. 10.1%(48/473), P=0.001], higher lymph node metastasis rate [N0: 53.3%(300/563) vs. 62.4%(295/473), P=0.013], lower TNM stage [stage I(: 13.3%(75/563) vs. 7.8%(37/473), P=0.000], lower serum CA199 level [<37 kU/L: 68.4% (385/563) vs. 62.6% (296/473), P=0.022] and smaller tumor diameter [<5.0 cm: 55.1%(310/563) vs. 38.3%(181/473), P=0.000]. The median overall survival was 82 months and 76 months in LC and RC groups, respectively, and the 5-year overall survival rate was 58.3% and 50.9%(P=0.038). The median tumor specific survival was 84 months and 78 months in LC and RC groups, respectively, and the 5-year tumor specific overall survival rate was 60.6% and 52.9% (P=0.031). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that tumor location (LC vs. RC) was not associated with overall survival (P=0.106) and tumor specific survival (P=0.091). After propensity score matching, no significant difference was found in clinicopathological factors and propensity score (0.458±0.129 vs. 0.459±0.129, P=0.622) between LC and RC group. After matching, there was no significant difference in overall survival rate (54.0% vs. 51.7%, P=0.982) and tumor specific overall survival rate(56.4% vs. 53.1%, P=0.819) between two groups.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Significant difference exists between RC and LC in clinicopathological factors, but not in survival.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To identify the risk factors associated with lymph node metastasis in rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From January 2005 to December 2013, the clinical data of 178 patients with advanced rectal cancer undergoing radical excision after neoadjuvant CRT in our department were reviewed retrospectively. A total of 11 clinicopathologic factors relating to lymph node metastasis were studied using univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There were 74(41.6%) cases with lymph node metastasis, while 104 cases without lymph node metastasis. Univariate analysis showed that age(P=0.000 2), post-CRT CEA level(P=0.011 2), ypT stage(P=0.000 0), pathologic type(P=0.004 0), and tumor regression grade(TRG)(P=0.033 8) were significantly associated with lymph node metastasis. Multivariate analysis showed that age(OR=2.385, 95% CI:1.372 ~ 4.147, P=0.002 1), post-CRT CEA level(OR=2.310, 95% CI:1.005 ~ 5.307, P=0.048 6) and ypT stage(OR=2.592, 95% CI:1.236 ~ 5.432, P=0.011 7) were independent risk factors. However, 15.8% of the patients who achieved TRG1 had lymph node metastasis and TRG failed to independently correlate with lymph node metastasis in rectal cancer after neoadjuvant CRT.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>There was a higher ratio of lymph node metastasis in rectal cancer patients who were young, CEA≥5 μg/L or deep invasion after neoadjuvant CRT. Therefore, neoadjuvant CRT should be carefully considered in these patients.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the intramural lateral spread distance in low rectal cancer in order to provide basis for safety lateral resection margin of pull-through conformal resection (PTCR).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The patients with low rectal cancer who received low anterior resection or abdominal-perineal resection in Changhai Hospital from December 2015 to March 2016 were enrolled and Surgical specimens were collected. After the specimens were fixed in 10% formaldehyde for 24 hours, a piece of tissue that was 1.5 cm in length and 0.5 cm in width from the edge of tumor was cut. The tissue was obtained in the direction of 3, 5, 7 and 9 o'clock clockwise. The distance of intramural lateral spread was measured in the specimens and the risk factors were analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A total of 83 specimens were collected and the overall proportion of intramural lateral spread was 71.1%(59/83). The rate of lateral spread from 3 to 9 o'clock was 34.9%(29/83), 26.5%(22/83), 32.5%(27/83) and 37.3%(31/83) respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant(χ=2.444 9, P=0.485 3). The median distance of lateral spread in each direction was all 0 mm and the quartile range was 1 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.55 mm and 1 mm respectively. The 5th percentile (P5) of each direction was all 0 mm and the 95th percentile(P95) of each direction was 2.5 mm, 1.6 mm, 2.6 mm, 2.5 mm, respectively and the difference was not statistically significant either(χ=5.331 0, P=0.148 9). The rate of lateral spread of T1, T2, T3 and T4 was 0/4, 58.3%(14/24), 83.0%(44/53) and 1/2 respectively, and there was significant difference(P=0.005 0). The multivariate analysis indicated that T stage (P=0.002 2, OR=3.741, 95% CI: 1.606-8.716) was the risk factor of intramural lateral spread.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The intramural lateral spread does exist in low rectal cancer and T stage is the risk factor of lateral spread. The lateral resection margin should be 5 mm from the tumor edge at least when PTCR is performed.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the risk factors associated with lymph node metastasis of T1 and T2 rectal cancer.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Clinicopathological data of 576 patients with stage T1 to T2 rectal cancer without serosal invasion confirmed by pathology undergoing curative resection in Changhai Hospital from January 1999 to December 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. The relationship of clinicopathological factors of overall patients and stage T1 patients with lymph node metastasis was analyzed by univariate or multivariate analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The lymph node metastasis rate of stage T2 rectal cancer was significantly higher than that of stage T1[22.9% (108/463) vs. 9.7%(11/113), P=0.002], and the difference of stage T2a and T2b was not significant[22.0%(38/173) vs. 23.4% (68/290), P=0.733]. Multivariate analysis showed that poor differentiation(HR=1.54, 95% CI:1.12 to 2.13), abnormal carbohydrate antigen (CA) 199 level (HR=2.05, 95% CI:1.16 to 3.62), ulcerative mass (HR=1.58, 95% CI:1.05 to 2.39) and invasion of muscle (of inner ring muscle HR=3.55, 95% CI:1.79 to 7.02; of outer longitudinal muscle, HR=2.35, 95% CI:1.21 to 4.60) were independent risk factors of lymph node metastasis in patients with stage T1-T2 rectal cancer(all P<0.05). Meanwhile poor differentiation(HR=4.43, 95% CI:1.51 to 13.03), abnormal carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA) level (HR=4.66, 95% CI:1.18 to 20.11) and ulcerative mass (HR=6.23, 95% CI:1.51 to 25.66) were risk factors of lymph node metastasis in patients with stage T1 rectal cancer.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Poor differentiation, preoperative high CA199, ulcerated tumor, invasion of inner ring muscle or outer longitudinal muscle are risk factors of lymph node metastasis in patients with stage T1-T2 rectal cancer, while the invasion depth of muscularis propria is not risk factor. Besides, poor differentiation, abnormal CEA level, ulcerated tumor are risk factors of lymph node metastasis in stage T1 rectal cancer patients, which can be used as reference for local excision in patients with stage T1 rectal cancer.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To compare the oncologic clearance and long-term outcomes between laparoscopic surgery and open surgery in radical resection of rectal cancer.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Clinicopathological and follow-up data of 1184 cases with rectal cancer undergoing radical resection from July 2005 to December 2011 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the surgical method, cases were divided into laparoscopy group (104 cases) and open group(1080 cases). Demographics, number of harvested lymph nodes, distance between distal margin and tumor, incidence of anastomotic complications, disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival(OS) were compared between the two groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There were no significant differences in the number of harvested lymph nodes (15.5 vs. 14.4, P>0.05), length of distal margin (2.5 cm vs. 2.1 cm, P>0.05) and incidence of anastomotic complications (1.9% vs. 1.9%, P>0.05) between the two groups. And there were no significant differences in DFS and OS between the two groups (both P>0.05). The 3-year and 5-year DFS in laparoscopy group were 79.0% and 69.3%, and were 78.0% and 72.5% in open group. The 3-year and 5-year OS in laparoscopy group were 93.5% and 81.2%, which were 87.6% and 80.7% in open group. There were no significant differences in DFS and OS after stratification by TNM stage.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The oncologic clearance and long-term outcomes after laparoscopic surgery are comparable with open surgery in radical resection of rectal cancer.</p>

1. 5 cm) sessile colorectal polyps referred for EMR. After submucosal injection of epinephrine, either en bloc or piecemeal snare polypectomy were performed. All resected specimens were retrieved for pathologic study. Follow-up colonoscopy was performed in all patients after EMR. Results All 157 polyps were removed completely. All lesions are larger than 1. 5cm, but 3 less than 1 cm on the submucosa of rectum. The largest one is 13 cm X 12 cm. No complication occurred. Histopathologic assessment of the resection specimens revealed the following: adenoma, 123; dysplasia, 80; mucosal carcinoma, 11; hyperplastic polyps, 20; rectal carcinoid, 3. Two patients who had rectal adenoma that was larger than 7cm recurrence happened at the resection site after 1 and 3 months follow-up respectively, than removed completely by hot biopsy forceps showed hyperplastic and villous adenoma on pathological study. No more residual tumor was detected for 6-12 months. Conclusion EMR with an intensive follow-up program is a safe and effective treatment for large sessile colorectal polyps and mucosal carcinoma.
