Emergency Curative Resection of Colorectal Cancer

Completed

• Conditions: Oncologic Complications and Emergencies; Colorectal Cancer

• Registration Number: NCT04288284
• Lead Sponsor: University of Alexandria

Brief Summary

The feasibility and efficacy of emergency curative resection of complicated colorectal cancer is still controversial. This prospective study aim is to assess surgical and oncologic outcomes after emergency compared to elective curative resection of colorectal cancer

Detailed Description

60 consecutive patients presented with complicated colorectal cancer managed by emergency surgery were included and compared to another 155 consecutive patients admitted during the same period with uncomplicated colorectal cancer managed by elective surgery. Both groups were compared regarding curative resection rate, early postoperative mortality and morbidity, 3-years tumor recurrence and survival rates.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
early postoperative morbidity after curative resection of colorectal cancer	within 90 days after surgery	surgery-related complications
early postoperative mortality after curative resection of colorectal cancer	within 90 days after surgery	early death due to cause related to surgery
Adequate oncologic resection	histopathological assessment of surgical specimens within 2 weeks postoperative	Negative resection margins + adequate lymphadenectomy ( Lymph Nodes retrieved \> 12)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Disease free survival	By the end of the 3 years follow up period	% of patients survived without recurrence
Overall survival	By the end of the 3 years follow up period	% of all patients survived either with or without recurrence
Tumor recurrence	By the end of the 3 years follow up period	either local or distant
