Sažetak

AIM. Clinical significance of mucin component in colorectal cancer is still unclear. We compared clinical and pathological features of mucinous and non-mucinous colorectal cancers and assessed the impact of mucinous differentiation and other specific features of colorectal cancer on survival. PATIENTS AND METHODS. We analyzed clinical and pathological data of 271 patients who underwent surgical resection of colorectal adenocarcinoma at our Department between 1994 and 2002. RESULTS. Patients with mucinous colorectal cancer had worse overall survival, but not statistically significant (P=0.296). In a multivariate model, only tumor size, the presence of hepatic metastases, and the presence of metastases in lymph nodes, but not mucinous differentiation, were found to be significant and independent predictors of survival. CONCLUSION. The results of this study confirm the frequent observation that mucinous colorectal cancer is associated with worse prognosis compared to non-mucinous type. However, these results do not provide evidence that mucinous differentiation is independently associated with more aggressive tumor behavior. Current findings justify surgical resection of all gross tumor deposits, together with the employment of perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with mucinous colorectal cancer.
