Risk factors for local recurrence after radical anterior resection of rectal cancer: a single center experience / 安徽医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Clinical data of 23 locally recurrent rectal cancer patients underwent radical anterior resection and 69 controls matched by age and gender was retrospectively analyzed to find out the risk factors related to local recur-rence after radical anterior resection of rectal carcinoma. Univariate analysis showed that tumor size, number of positive lymph nodes, distance between tumor and the anal verge and T stage were risk factors for locally recurrent rectal cancer after radical anterior resection. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that T stage ( T4 stage) was an independent risk factor correlated with the tumor recurrence after radical anterior resection and loca-tion of tumor( distance of tumor from the anal verge being less than 5 cm) seemed to be an independent risk factor correlated with the tumor recurrence.
