摘要
Objective:Colorectal cancer(CRC)surgeries can be performed using either laparoscopic or open laparotomy approaches.However,the long-term outcomes based on tumor location and age remain unclear.This study compared the long-term outcomes of laparoscopic and laparotomy surgeries in patients with CRC,focusing on tumor location and age to identify suitable subgroups and determine an optimal cut-off age.Methods:This retrospective study analyzed 2,014 patients with CRC who underwent radical surgery.Patients were categorized into laparoscopy and laparotomy groups,and propensity score matching(PSM)was performed.Kaplan-Meier analysis,log-rank tests,and Cox regression models were used to identify the independent factors affecting overall survival(OS).Results:Analysis results before PSM indicated higher OS in the laparoscopy group(P=0.035);however,it was no significant difference in mean OS between the two groups after PSM analysis.Cox regression analysis identified several factors influencing the OS of patients with CRC,with age,T stage,nodal involvement,poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma,ascites,preoperative intestinal obstruction,and local tumor spread as independent risk factors.Family history was a protective factor[hazard ratio(HR)=0.33;95%CI,0.16-0.68;P=0.002],and the surgical modality did not independently affect OS.The subgroup analysis highlighted the advantages of laparoscopic surgery in specific subgroups.Conclusions:Overall,laparoscopic and laparotomy surgeries resulted in similar mid-and long-term prognoses for patients with CRC.Laparoscopic surgery showed better outcomes in specific subgroups,particularly in patients aged>60 years and in those with right-sided colon carcinoma.This study suggests that age>64 years might be the optimal cut-off age for laparoscopic surgery.
