Survival outcomes of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms by histological type and stage: Analysis of 266 cases in a multicenter collaborative retrospective clinical study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms are rare, and thus the literature is sparse with regard to histological types, staging, and prognosis. In particular, it is unclear how long-term outcome may differ between mucinous adenocarcinomas and other adenocarcinomas. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the histological types and stages of appendiceal neoplasms, and to evaluate the prognostic impacts of these factors in patients with mucinous adenocarcinomas and non-mucinous adenocarcinomas.

Methods

Patients with appendiceal tumors diagnosed between 2007 and 2016 were retrospectively identified from the databases of 19 institutions in the Clinical Study Group of Osaka University, Colorectal Group.

Results

A total of 266 patients with appendiceal tumors were identifie
