Objective To analyze the relationship between age and prognosis of colorectal patients in the database from colorectal cancer (DACCA). Methods The DACCA version selected for this data analysis was updated on January 5, 2022. The data items analyzed included age, sex, tumor site, tumor pathological nature, obstruction, pathological TNM (pTNM) stage, positive lymph node ratio, survival status and survival time. According to China’s age segmentation standard, the included data were grouped into younger group (<35 years old), middle-aged group (35–59 years old) and elderly group (>59 years old). Overall survival (OS) and disease specific survival (DFS) were analyzed in three age group, and OS and DSS in three age group were analyzed in pTNM stage stratification. Results Three thousand six hundred and twenty-five rows of data were obtained from DACCA database according to the screening conditions. The survival analysis results of different age groups show that: The middle-aged group had better OS compared with the elderly group at 1-year (97.4% vs. 96.0%, P=0.037), 3-year (90.9% vs. 88.0%, P=0.030) and 5-year (81.7% vs. 75.7%, P=0.002). Also, the middle-age group had better 5-year DSS (82.2% vs. 77.7%, P=0.020). There was no statistical difference in survival between the younger group and the elderly group (P>0.05). The survival analysis results of different age groups in each pTNM stage show that: ① The middle-aged group had better medium-term and long-term OS than the elderly group. In the pTNM Ⅰ stage, the 3- and 5-year OS in the middle-aged group were better than those in the elderly group (100% vs. 93.4%, P=0.004; 100% vs. 91.4%, P=0.005). In the pTNM Ⅱ stage, the 5- and 10-year OS in the middle-aged group were better than those in the elderly group (96.5% vs. 91.3%, P=0.018; 88.2% vs. 54.3%, P<0.001). In pTNM Ⅲ stage, 10-year OS in the middle-aged group was better than that in the elderly group (36.5% vs. 36.0%, P<0.001). In pTNM Ⅳ stage, the 5- and 10- year of OS in the middle-aged group were better than those in the elderly group (67.7% vs. 58.4%, P=0.016; 19.1% vs. 7.2%, P=0.049). ② The middle-aged group had better medium-term and long-term DSS than the elderly group. In the pTNM Ⅰ stage, the 3- and 5- year DSS in the middle-aged group wrer better compared to the elderly group (100% vs. 96.9%, P=0.047; 100% vs. 94.9%, P=0.049). In the pTNM Ⅱ stage, the 10-year DSS in the middle-aged group outperformed that in the elderly group (88.2% vs. 61.9%, P=0.002). In the pTNM Ⅳ stage, the 5- and 10-year DSS in the middle-aged group were better than the elderly group (68.3% vs. 59.1%, P=0.020; 20.9% vs. 7.7%, P=0.040). ③ Except pTNM I stage, there was no significant difference in survival of other pTNM stages between young group and old group (P>0.05). In the pTNM Ⅰ stage, 3- and 5- year OS were better in the younger group compared with the elderly group (100% vs. 93.4%, P=0.004; 100% vs. 91.4%, P=0.005), and better 3- and 5- year DSS in the younger group (100% vs. 96.9%, P=0.047; 100% vs. 94.9%, P=0.049). Conclusions The age of colorectal cancer patients may have an impact on long-term survival. Middle-aged patients have better prognosis compared with elderly patients, and the younger group patients have better prognosis in pTNM stage Ⅰ only.
Objection To analyze the relationship between blood type and prognosis of colorectal cancer patients in the Database from Colorectal Cancer (DACCA). Methods The DACCA version selected for this data analysis was updated on January 5, 2022. The data items analysis included age, gender, blood type, tumor location, tumor pathological nature, pathological TNM (pTNM) stage, survival status and survival time. According to the ABO blood type classification, it was divided into four blood type groups: A blood type group, B blood type group, AB blood type group, and O blood type group. The overall survival (OS) and disease specific survival (DSS) were analyzed in four blood type groups, and the OS and DSS of each blood type group were analyzed in pTNM stage stratification. Results A total of3 486 rows of data were obtained from the DACCA database according to the screening conditions. There was no significantdifference in OS and DSS among blood typy A, B, AB and O group (P>0.05); At specific time points, the 1-year OS of the blood type A group was worse than that of blood type B (95.8% vs. 99.6%), the 1-year OS of the blood type B group was better than that of blood type O group (99.6% vs. 96.9%), and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.008 7), but the differences between OS and DSS in the remaining 1, 3, 5 and 10 years of patients with different blood type groups were not statistically significant (P>0.008 7). In each pTNM staging subgroup, the differences between 1, 3, 5 and 10-year OS and DSS were not statistically significant among different blood type groups (P>0.008 7). Conclusions Overall, there was no significant difference in prognosis among the blood type A, B, AB, and O groups. Comparing specific blood types and follow-up time, patients with blood type B have slightly better 1-year OS than patients with blood type A or blood type O. Comparisons between other ABO blood groups and between ABO blood groups classified by the pTNM staging subgroup did not show a difference.
ObjectiveTo analyze the relation between marital status and prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) in the Database from Colorectal Cancer (DACCA). MethodsThe DACCA version selected for this data analysis was updated on January 13, 2023. The data items analysis included the age, gender, marital status, tumor location, tumor property, pathological TNM (pTNM) stage, survival status, and survival time. According to the marital status, the patients were assigned into five marital statuses: the first marriage, unmarried, divorced, remarriage, and widowed groups. The overall survival (OS) and disease specific survival (DSS) of the 5 marital statuses were analyzed, and then the risk factors affecting OS and DSS were analyzed by the Cox proportional hazards regression model. ResultsA total of 7 373 data were obtained from the DACCA according to the screening conditions, of which 6 696 (90.8%) were first marriage, 108 (1.5%) were unmarried, 198 (2.7%) were divorced, 22 (0.3%) were remarriage, and 349 (4.7%) were widowed. The OS and DSS curves had no statistical differences among the CRC patients with 5 marital statuses (χ2=2.692, P=0.611; χ2=2.927, P=0.570). The 3-year cumulative overall survival rate and disease specific survival rate among the 5 marital status patients had statistical differences among the patients with five marital statuses (χ2=24.65, P<0.001; χ2=18.63, P=0.001), further pairwise comparison showed that the 3-year cumulative overall survival rate and disease specific survival rate in the CRC patients with first marriage were higher than those in the widowed patients (Z=3.36, P<0.01; Z=3.02, P<0.01). The multivariate analysis results by the Cox proportional hazards regression model did not find the marital status was associated with the OS and DSS (P>0.05). ConclusionsFrom the real-world analysis results of this study, it is found that 3-year cumulative overall survival rate and disease specific survival rate in patients with first marriage are higher as compared with widowed patients. It is necessary to pay more attention to the long-term follow-up of CRC patients in unmarried or widowed status.
ObjectiveTo analyze the impact of neoadjuvant regimens on prognosis in patients with rectal cancer in the current version of the Database from Colorectal Cancer (DACCA) database. MethodsPatient information was extracted from the updated version of DACCA on November 24, 2022 according to the established screening criteria, and the following items were analyzed: gender, age, body mass index (BMI), marriage, economic conditions, degree of differentiation, neoadjuvant treatment regimen, and pTNM staging. According to the neoadjuvant treatment regimen, the patients were divided into three groups: chemotherapy group, chemotherapy combined radiotherapy group, and chemotherapy combined targeted therapy group, and the overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) of patients in the three groups were analyzed, and the influencing factors of OS and DSS were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression models. ResultsAccording to the screening criteria, 1 716 valid data were obtained from the DACCA database, of which 954 (55.6%) were in the chemotherapy group, 332 (19.3%) in the chemotherapy combined radiotherapy group, and 430 (25.1%) in the chemotherapy combined targeted therapy group. The differences in the Kaplan-Merier survival curves of patients with different neoadjuvant regimens for OS and DSS in the three groups were statistically significant (χ2=142.142, P＜0.001; χ2=129.528, P＜0.001). There were significant differences in OS rate and DSS rate between the three groups in 3 years and 5 years (P<0.001). Further comparison of different neoadjuvant therapy groups showed that the OS of the chemotherapy combined targeted therapy group was slightly better than that of the chemotherapy group in 3 years, however, OS and DSS in 5 years were slightly worse than those the chemotherapy group, but the difference were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The OS and DSS of the chemotherapy group and the chemotherapy combined targeted therapy group were better than those of the chemotherapy combined radiotherapy group in 3 years and 5 years, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). The results of multivariate analysis showed that patients’ age, economic conditions, degree of tumor differentiation, new auxiliary scheme and pTNM staging were the influencing factors of OS and DSS. ConclusionNeoadjuvant treatment regimen will affect the long-term survival prognosis of rectal cancer patients.
