Simultaneous or staged resection for synchronous liver metastasis and primary rectal cancer: a propensity score matching analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in France and by the time of the diagnosis, 15-25% of patients will suffer from synchronous liver metastases. Surgery associated to neoadjuvant treatment can cure these patients, but few studies focus only on rectal cancer. This study was meant to compare the outcomes of patients who underwent a simultaneous resection to those who underwent a staged resection (rectum first or liver first) in the University Hospital of Tours, France.

Methods

We assessed retrospectively a prospective maintained data base about the clinical, pathological and survival outcomes of patients who underwent a simultaneous or a staged resection in our center between 2010 and 2018. A propensity score matching was used, considering the initial
