Introduction: Dukes’ B cancer represents a wide spectrum of disease from early penetration through the bowel wall to aggres-sive and extensive tumors with extramural venous spread and involvement of the serosa, surgical margins, or adjacent organs. Among Dukes’ B cancers, Petersen index (PI) allow a stratification in order to identify those patients for whom chemotherapy may be of benefit. Population under Study: 210 resected patients with CRC Dukes’ B were included prospectively in a database and considered in the present study. According to PI, a score (from 0 to 4) for each patients was calculated on the basis of peritoneal and margin involvement, venous invasion and tumor perforation. Results: 49 out of 210 tumors were located in the Rectum and 161 in the Colon. According to PI score 169 patients had a score of 0, 26 of 1 and 15 of ≥2. The overall R0 resection was achieved in 94.2% of cases and the majority of patients with PI score of ≥2 were R1-2. The mean of harvested lymph nodes was 16.9 with no difference according to the PI score. Patients with PI score of 0 had a 5-year survival rate of 92.3%, significantly higher if compared with those with PI score 1 (71.4%) and ≥2 (46.7%). Conclusion: Even though in our experience the influence of PI score on survival is confirmed, we underline that a comparison with additional clinical and histological prognostic factors should be needed

Abstract

Introduction: Dukes’ B cancer represents a wide spectrum of disease from early penetration through the bowel wall to aggres-sive and extensive tumors with extramural venous spread and involvement of the serosa, surgical margins, or adjacent organs. Among Dukes’ B cancers, Petersen index (PI) allow a stratification in order to identify those patients for whom chemotherapy may be of benefit. Population under Study: 210 resected patients with CRC Dukes’ B were included prospectively in a database and considered in the present study. According to PI, a score (from 0 to 4) for each patients was calculated on the basis of peritoneal and margin involvement, venous invasion and tumor perforation. Results: 49 out of 210 tumors were located in the Rectum and 161 in the Colon. According to PI score 169 patients had a score of 0, 26 of 1 and 15 of ≥2. The overall R0 resection was achieved in 94.2% of cases and the majority of patients with PI score of ≥2 were R1-2. The mean of harvested lymph nodes was 16.9 with no difference according to the PI score. Patients with PI score of 0 had a 5-year survival rate of 92.3%, significantly higher if compared with those with PI score 1 (71.4%) and ≥2 (46.7%). Conclusion: Even though in our experience the influence of PI score on survival is confirmed, we underline that a comparison with additional clinical and histological prognostic factors should be needed
