Resumo: | ABSTRACT Background The approach of locally advanced extra-peritoneal rectal adenocarcinoma implies a treatment with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy associated with total mesorectal excision surgery. However, the tumors respond variably to this neoadjuvant therapy, and the mechanisms for response are not completely understood. Objective Evaluate the variables related to the complete tumor response and the outcomes of patients who underwent surgery, comparing those with partial tumor regression and those with total remission of rectal lesion, at the pathological examination. Methods Retrospective analysis of medical records of 212 patients operated between 2000 and 2010, in which 182 (85.9%) obtained partial remission at neoadjuvant therapy (Group 1) and 30 (14.1%), total remission (Group 2). Results No difference was found between the groups in relation to gender, ethnicity, age, tumor distance from the anal verge, occurrence of metastases and synchronous lesions on preoperative staging, dose of radiotherapy and performed surgery. In Group 2, was verified high rate of complete remission when the time to surgery after neoadjuvant therapy was equal or less than 8 weeks (P=0.027), and a tendency of lower levels of pretreatment carcinoembryonic antigen (P=0.067). In pathological analysis, the Group 1 presented in relation to Group 2, more affected lymph nodes (average 1.9 and 0.5 respectively; P=0.003), more angiolymphatic (19.2% and 3.3%; P=0.032) and perineural involvement (15.4% and 0%; P=0.017) and greater number of lymph nodes examined (16.3 and 13.6; P=0.023). In the late follow-up, Group 1 also had lower overall survival than Group 2 (94.1 months and 136.4 months respectively; P=0.02) and disease-free survival (85.5 months and 134.6 months; P=0.004). There was no statistical difference between Group 2 and Group 1 in local recurrence (15% and 3.4%, respectively) and distant metastasis (28% and 13.8%, respectively). Conclusion In this study, the only factor associated with complete remission of rectal adenocarcinoma was the time between neoadjuvant therapy and surgery. This group of patients had less affected lymph nodes, less angiolymphatic and perineural involvement, a longer overall and disease-free survival, but no significant statistical difference was observed in local recurrence and distant metastasis. Although the complete pathologic remission was associated with better prognosis, this not implied in the cure of the disease for all patients. |
