    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: After neoadjuvant therapy, pathologic analysis of rectal cancer resected specimens may show a complete response in the primary tissue cancer with residual tumor in the lymph nodes (ypT0N+). OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to describe the 5-year overall survival and factors associated with survival of ypT0N+ patients with rectal cancer who had neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery and to compare these patients' survival with patients in other pathologic categories. DESIGN: We conducted a retrospective analysis. SETTINGS: We used the National Cancer Database. PATIENTS: We identified patients with rectal adenocarcinoma who underwent total neoadjuvant therapy or neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by surgery between 2006 and 2016. Besides ypT0N+, 5 pathologic categories were identified: ypT0N0, ypT1-2N0, ypT3-4N0, ypT1-2N+, and ypT3-4N+. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: The primary outcome measure was 5-year overall survival. RESULTS: We included 30,751 patients with rectal adenocarcinoma. A total of 342 patients developed ypT0N+, of whom 181 (52.9%) received total neoadjuvant therapy. Among patients who received total neoadjuvant therapy, developing ypT0N+ was associated with a lower 5-year overall survival than ypT0N0 and ypT1-2N0. However, ypT0N+ disease was associated with a higher 5-year overall survival than ypT3-4N+. There were no differences in 5-year overall survival between ypT0N+ and ypT3-4N0 or ypT1-2N+. Similar findings were noticed among patients who received neoadjuvant chemoradiation and adjuvant chemotherapy. For patients with ypT0N+, older age, male gender, and higher number of positive lymph nodes were all associated with a decrease in the overall survival. LIMITATIONS: Limitations include the retrospective nature of this study, lack of variables describing the chemotherapy and radiation regimens used, and paucity of data on disease-specific survival or recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Developing ypT0N+ was associated with a lower 5-year overall survival than ypT0N0 and ypT1-2N0. However, it was associated with a higher 5-year overall survival than ypT3-4N+.

SOBREVIDA DE LOS PACIENTES CON YPTN DESPUS DE LA TERAPIA NEOADYUVANTE EN EL CNCER DE RECTO: ANTECEDENTES:Después del tratamiento neoadyuvante en el cáncer de recto bajo, el análisis patológico de la pieza operatoria resecada, puede mostrar una respuesta patológica completa del tumor primario pero con tumor residual en los ganglios linfáticos (ypT0N+).OBJETIVOS:Describir la sobrevida general a 5 años y los factores asociados con la sobrevida de los pacientes ypT0N+ con cáncer de recto, que recibieron terapia neoadyuvante seguida de cirugía y comparar la sobrevida de estos pacientes con la de pacientes con otros estadios patológicos.DISEÑO:Realizamos un análisis retrospectivo.AJUSTES:Utilizamos la base de datos nacional del cáncer.PACIENTES:Identificamos pacientes con adenocarcinoma de recto que se sometieron a terapia neoadyuvante total, seguida de cirugía entre 2006 y 2016. Además de ypT0N +, se identificaron 5 categorías patológicas: ypT0N0, ypT1-2N0, ypT3-4N0, ypT1-2N+, e ypT3-4N+.PRINCIPAL MEDIDA DE RESULTADO:La medida de resultado principal fue la supervivencia general a 5 años.RESULTADOS:Se incluyeron 30.751 pacientes con adenocarcinoma de recto. Un total de 342 pacientes desarrollaron ypT0N+, de los cuales 181 (52,9%) recibieron terapia neoadyuvante total. Entre los pacientes que recibieron terapia neoadyuvante total, el desarrollo de ypT0N+ se asoció con una supervivencia general a 5 años más baja que ypT0N0 e ypT1-2N0. Sin embargo, la enfermedad ypT0N+ se asoció con una supervivencia general a 5 años más alta que ypT3-4N+. No hubo diferencias en la supervivencia global a 5 años entre ypT0N+ y ypT3-4N0 o ypT1-2N+. Se observaron hallazgos similares entre los pacientes que recibieron terapia neoadyuvante y quimioterapia adyuvante. Para los pacientes con ypT0N+, la edad avanzada, el sexo masculino y un mayor número de ganglios linfáticos positivos se asociaron con una disminución en la supervivencia general.LIMITACIONES:Las limitaciones incluyen la naturaleza retrospectiva del estudio, la falta de variables que describan los regímenes de quimioterapia y radiación utilizados y la escasez de datos sobre la supervivencia o la recurrencia específicas de la enfermedad.CONCLUSIONES:El desarrollo de ypT0N+ se asoció con una supervivencia general a 5 años más baja que ypT0N0 e ypT1-2N0. Sin embargo, se asoció con una supervivencia global a 5 años más alta que ypT3-4N+. Consulte Video Resumen en http://links.lww.com/DCR/B863 . (Traducción-Dr. Rodrigo Azolas ).
