Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore the relevant factors affecting the 5-year survival rate of patients after radical colon cancer surgery, and to provide some basis for improving the quality of life and prognosis of colon cancer patients. The clinical data of 116 colon cancer patients who underwent treatment in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2017 were retrospectively selected. Using the date of performing surgical treatment as the starting point and the completion of 5 years after surgery or patient death as the end point, all patients were followed up by telephone to count the 5-year survival rate and analyze the influence of each factor with the prognosis of colon cancer patients. Of the 116 patients, 14 patients were lost to follow-up. Of the 102 patients with complete follow-up, 33 patients were died, with an overall 5-year survival rate of 67.6%. After univariate analysis, it was found that distant metastasis (χ2 = 10.493, P = .001), lymph node metastasis (χ2 = 25.145, P < .001), depth of muscle infiltration (χ2 = 14.929, P < .001), alcohol consumption (χ2 = 15.263, P < .001), and preoperative obstruction (χ2 = 9.555, P = .002) were significantly associated with the prognosis of colon cancer patients. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that distant metastasis (odds ratio [OR]: 1.932, 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 1.272-2.934, P = .002), lymph node metastasis (OR: 1.219, 95% CI: 1.091-1.362, P < .001), and obstruction (OR: 1.970, 95% CI: 1.300-2.990, P < .001) were significant independent risk factors affecting the prognosis in patients after radical colon cancer surgery. In summary, preoperative obstruction, lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis are independent factors influencing 5-year survival rate after radical colon cancer surgery. Patients with risk factors should be followed up more closely and reasonable postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy regimens should be used to improve long-term survival.
