Surgical resection for second primary colorectal cancer: a population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Second primary colorectal cancer (CRC) is attributed to a crucial component of the CRC population. Still, its treatments remain unclear due to the troublesome conditions originating from multiple primary cancers and the lack of quality evidence. This study aimed to determine that which type of surgical resection is the eligible treatment for second primary CRC among patients with a prior cancer history.

Methods

This cohort study retrospectively collected patients with second primary stage 0-III CRC in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database from 2000 to 2017. Prevalence of surgical resection in second primary CRC, overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) of patients who received different surgical interventions were estimated.
