Abstract
Purpose
Long-term prognosis of T1 laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) after treatment have not been clarified. This study compared clinicopathological characteristics and long-term prognosis of T1 LSTs.
Methods
We retrospectively assessed 169 patients with 169 T1 LSTs between January 1992 and December 2008 by ten hospitals. Patients who did not meet the Japanese Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum (JSCCR) 2016 guidelines for the treatment of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) criteria were defined as non-endoscopically curable. The number of non-endoscopically curable patients with LST-granular/ nodular mixed (LST-G-M) was 61, that with LST-non-granular/ flat elevated (LST-NG-FE) was 23, and that with LST-non-granular/ pseudo depressed (LST-NG-PD) was 23. Clinicopathological variables and long-term prognosis were analyzed.
Results
For overall patients, tumor size, number of non-endoscopically curable cases, and rate of submucosal invasion depth ≥ 1000 μm for the LST-G-M group were significantly higher than those in the other groups. For non-endoscopically curable patients, the tumor size for those with LST-G-M was significantly larger than those in the other groups. The rate of submucosal invasion width ≥ 4000 μm and type B/C muscularis mucosae with LST-G-M was higher than that with LST-NG-FE. All recurrences occurred in non-endoscopically curable patients with LST-G-M. Five-year overall and disease-free survivals for non-endoscopically curable patients with LST-G-M were significantly shorter than those for patients with non-endoscopically curable LST-NG-FE and PD.
Conclusions
Our data supported adequacy of the JSCCR guidelines for the treatment of CRC criteria for endoscopically curable patients after T1 LSTs treatment. Patients with T1 LST-G-M should be followed up more carefully.
