ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Studies of fragmented care (FC) in rectal cancer have not adjusted for indicators of hospital quality and may misrepresent the effects of FC.

METHODS:

We queried the National Cancer Database to identify patients undergoing care for clinical stage II and III rectal adenocarcinoma between 2006 and 2019. Those undergoing FC were sub-categorized based on whether (FC CoC) or not (FC non-CoC) they received systemic therapy at CoC accredited facilities.

RESULTS:

44,339 patients met inclusion criteria; 23,921 (54 â€‹%) underwent FC, 16,929 (71 â€‹%) FC non-CoC. Differences in utilization of neoadjuvant therapy (92.3 â€‹% vs 89.7 â€‹% vs 89.5 â€‹%, p â€‹< â€‹0.01) and 5-year overall survival (76.1 vs 75.5 vs 74.1 %, p â€‹< â€‹0.01) between treatment cohorts were marginal.

CONCLUSION:

In patients undergoing multimodality therapy for rectal cancer, care fragmentation is not associated with long-term clinical outcome. Decisions regarding where these patients go for systemic therapy may be safely made on the basis of ease of access.
