Prognostic significance of the circumferential resection margin following total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer.
BACKGROUND Knowledge of prognostic factors following resection of rectal cancer may be used in the selection of patients for adjuvant therapy. This study examined the prognostic impact of the circumferential resection margin on local recurrence, distant metastasis and survival rates. METHODS A national population-based rectal cancer registry included all 3319 new patients from November 1993 t...
متن کاملCircumferential resection margin involvement: an independent predictor of survival following surgery for oesophageal cancer.
BACKGROUND For rectal carcinoma, the presence of tumour within 1 mm of the circumferential margin is an important independent prognostic factor for both local recurrence and survival. Similar prospective data have not been reported for oesophageal carcinoma and we wished to ascertain the prognostic importance of this variable following potentially curative resection for oesophageal carcinoma. ...
متن کاملCircumferential resection margin in esophageal cancer.
In 1993, Sagar et al reported that microscopic involvement of the circumferential resection margin (CRM) is related to local recurrence and decreased survival. Since then, the role of the CRM in esophageal cancer has been extensively investigated in the literature. Dexter et al in 2001 found in their study, which included 135 patients with esophageal cancer, that 64 patients (47%) were positive...
متن کاملEffect of the circumferential resection margin on survival following rectal cancer surgery.
BACKGROUND The aim was to determine the effect of the circumferential resection margin (CRM) on overall survival following surgical excision of rectal cancer. METHODS The effect of CRM on survival was examined by case mix-adjusted analysis of patients undergoing potentially curative excision of a rectal cancer between 1998 and 2002. RESULTS Of 1896 patients, 1561 (82.3 per cent) had recorde...
متن کاملLactate Dehydrogenase Is an Important Prognostic Indicator for Hepatocellular Carcinoma after Partial Hepatectomy12
Preoperative serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) has been used as a prognostic indicator for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with sorafenib or undergoing transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, but its significance in predicting survival of HCC patients who received curative resection remains undefined. A total of 683 patients with histopathologically confirmed HCC were enr...
