Synchronous and Metachronous Peritoneal Metastases in Patients with Left-Sided Obstructive Colon Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Controversy exists on emergency setting as a risk factor for peritoneal metastases (PM) in colon cancer patients. Data in patients with obstruction are scarce. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of synchronous and metachronous PM, risk factors for the development of metachronous PM, and prognostic implications within a large nationwide cohort of left-sided obstructive colon cancer (LSOCC).

Methods

Patients with LSOCC treated between 2009 and 2016 were selected from the Dutch ColoRectal Audit. Additional treatment and long-term outcome data were retrospectively collected from original patient files in 75 hospitals in 2017.

Results

In total, 3038 patients with confirmed obstruction and without perforation were included. Synchronous PM (at di
