[Efficacy of oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy in stage II and III colorectal cancer with perforation].
This retrospective study evaluated the efficiency of oxaliplatin-based (Oxa-based) adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancer with perforation. The study included 38 patients who underwent surgery for perforation associated with StageII and III colorectal cancer between April 1998 and March 2013. Patients with operative mortality were excluded from the study. The numbers of patients with StageII and III disease were 26 and 12, respectively. Adjuvant chemotherapy was received by 16 patients (62%) in the Stage II group. Seven patients (54%) in the Stage III group received adjuvant chemotherapy, of which 6 received Oxa-based adjuvant chemotherapy. The median relative dose intensity(range)of oxaliplatin was 83.3 (28.8- 100)%. Grade 3 adverse events were reported in 2 cases. The 3-year overall survival rates in the StageII and III groups were 60% and 79%, respectively. There was no significant difference in overall survival between the groups (p=0.28). Patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy had a 2.3-fold greater 3-year overall survival rate than those who did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy (80% vs 35%, p=0.01). The 3-year overall survival rates were 100% in patients who received Oxabased adjuvant chemotherapy (n=6), and 76%in patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy without oxaliplatin (n=17), with no significant difference between the groups (p=0.24). The Oxa-based adjuvant chemotherapy was tolerated equally well in Stage II and III colorectal cancer patients with or without perforation. Further studies are needed to compare the effect of oxaliplatin with other adjuvant chemotherapies.
