Mucinous Colorectal Carcinoma: A Single Center Experience.

e15116 Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical features and treatment outcomes of mucinous colorectal adenocarcinoma (MCA) followed in a single institution. Methods: Seventy-nine patients diagnosed with MCA admitted to our center between January 2003 and August 2016 included in this study. Demographic and clinico-pathologic characterictics of patients were analysed using patient medical records retrospectively. Results: Median age of the patients was 57 (24-83) with a male to female ratio of 1/3. Common symptoms were abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, abdominal distention, tenesmus and constipation in 44 (55.7%), 17 (21.5%), 7 (8.9%), 6 (7.6%), 5 (6.3%) of patients respectively. At the time of the diagnosis ECOG performance score was 0 or 1 in 74 (93.7%) of the patients. One (1.3%), 26 (32.9%), 37 (46.8%) and 15 (19%) of the patients had stage 1,2,3 and 4 disease respectively. Neoadjuvant chemo-radiotherapy with 5 FU and leucovorin (FUFA) was the treatment of choice in 11 (13.9%) of rectal MUC patients. The type of surgery was curative, palliative and emergent in 60 (76%), 9 (12.4%) and 9 (12.4%) respectively. Localisation of the primary tumor was right colon, left colon and rectum in 31 (39.2%), 30 (38%) and 18 (24.8) patients respectively. In the adjuvant setting, 59 (74.7%) of patients were received adjuvant chemotherapy. Only 6 patients had MSI, 26 patients had k-RAS, n-RAS and b-RAF mutation results. Metastatic sites were mostly visceral organ, intra-abdominal and local recurrence in 13 (16.5%), 12 (15.2%) and 6 (7.6%) of patients respectively. The median disease free survival, progression free survival and overall survival (OS), were 15.5 months, 17.5 months and 44.1 months, respectively. Conclusions: Survival rates were higher than literature in this study. This may be partly explained by better ECOG performance score of our patient group. We also found that better ECOG score, left sided tumor, younger age, were associated with better OS.
