Clinical outcomes of curative surgical resection of peritoneal metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer: A long-term follow-up study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastasis (PM) has been considered a non-curative disease. PM is associated with reduced overall survival (OS) and worse prognosis compared with metastasis at other sites. We aimed to investigate the treatment outcome and recurrence after curative resection of colorectal PM during a long-term follow-up.

Methods

Patients who were diagnosed with colorectal PM and underwent surgery between December 2001 and December 2019 were included (n = 309). Curative resection was defined as PM resection without residual disease after surgery (complete macroscopic resection).

Results

Of 309 patients, 208 (67.8%) had PM as an initially metastatic disease. Curative (R0/1) resection was achieved in 155 (50.2%) patients, while non-curative
