Huang Q, Zou MH, Wei JC, et al. - Researchers herein investigated the predictors for local recurrence and remote metastasis after surgery of mucinous adenocarcinoma (MA), a subtype of colorectal cancer (CRC) linked with a higher incidence of local extension and worse survival when compared with non-mucinous adenocarcinoma. In this retrospective analysis, they assessed 162 patients with mucinous colorectal adenocarcinoma (MAC) after radical resection; their mean age was 58.26 years. Following were significant predictors for local recurrence: intraoperative transfusion and N2 stage. Significant predictors for distant metastasis were male gender, CA199, and T4 stage. These findings concerning the risk factors for postoperative recurrence provides a basis for logical approaches to treatment and follow-up of MAC.
