Abstract

Purpose

It is unclear how primary tumor location affects the pulmonary metastasis in colorectal cancer patients with different primary tumor locations. We aim to explore the relationship between primary tumor location and the incidence and prognosis of colorectal cancer patients with pulmonary metastasis at diagnosis.

Methods

From Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, 9920 out of 192,969 CRC patients were identified with pulmonary metastasis at diagnosis between 2010 and 2015. Patients were classified into three subsets according to primary tumor location. The incidence of pulmonary metastasis and median survival were calculated. Multivariable logistic and Cox regression were performed to identify the risk factors of pulmonary metastasis and prognosis.

Results

The incidence of pulmonary metastasis was 5.14% in the entire colorectal cancer cohort and 25.66% in metastatic colorectal cancer patients. The median survival of those patients was 10 months. Rectal cancer patients exhibited the highest incidence of pulmonary metastasis, while they had the longest median survival (15 months). The right-sided colon cancer patients had the lowest incidence of pulmonary metastasis, but the shortest median survival (8 months). 61 to 80 years old, over 80, black, two or three extrapulmonary metastatic sites and CEA-positive had a negative influence both on the incidence and prognosis.

Conclusions

The importance of primary tumor location in affecting the incidence of pulmonary metastasis and prognosis of colorectal cancer patients was highlighted in this study. Primary tumor location should be considered in clinical interference and personalized treatment for colorectal cancer patients with pulmonary metastasis.
