ABSTRACT
Background and Objective:
Colorectal cancer (CRC) bone metastasis (BM), particularly synchronous metastasis, is infrequent and has a poor prognosis. Radical surgery for CRC with BM is challenging, and chemotherapy is the standard treatment. However, it is unclear whether combining chemotherapy with primary tumor resection (PTR) yields greater survival benefits than chemotherapy alone, as no relevant reports exist. Material andMethods:
The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database provided data on 1662 CRC patients with bone metastasis between 2010 and 2018, who were divided into two groups chemotherapy combined with PTR and chemotherapy alone. Survival distributions were compared using the log-rank test, and survival estimates were obtained using the Kaplan-Meier method. A Cox proportional multivariate regression analysis was conducted to estimate the survival benefit of chemotherapy combined with PTR while controlling for additional prognostic factors.Results:
The chemotherapy only group consisted of 1277 patients (76.8%), while the chemotherapy combined with PTR group contained 385 patients (23.2%). Patients who received chemotherapy combined with PTR had a significantly higher 1-year survival rate (60.7%) and 2-year survival rate (32.7%) compared to those who only received chemotherapy (43.8% and 18.4%, respectively; p < 0.0001). Independent prognostic factors identified by Cox proportional analysis were age, location of the primary tumor, type of tumor, M stage, metastasectomy and PTR. Patients who received chemotherapy combined with PTR had a significantly improved prognosis (HR 0.586, 95% CI 0.497-0.691, p < 0.0001). All subgroups demonstrated a survival advantage for patients who received chemotherapy in combination with PTR.Conclusions:
Our findings suggest that patients with BM from CRC may benefit from chemotherapy combined with PTR. Our analysis also identified age, location of the primary tumor, type of tumor, M stage, metastasectomy, and PTR as independent prognostic risk factors for CRC patients with synchronous BM.Key words
