Endoscopic resection vs. endoscopic resection plus chemoradiation for T1 stage colorectal cancer: a real-world retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early-stage colorectal cancer (CRC) patients treated with either endoscopic resection (ER) alone or combined ER with chemoradiotherapy (CRT) have unknown survival rates. A national descriptive epidemiological study was conducted to compare the long-term survival of patients with T1 stage CRC with or without the two different treatment options.

Methods

Our study identified the records of patients with T1-stage CRC between 2010 and 2018 by searching the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Long-term survival was compared using Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox proportional hazard models based on patient demographic and cancer parameters.

Results

After propensity score matching (PSM), 825 T1-stage CRC patients were finally enrolled in this s
