摘要:目的
探讨T1期结肠神经内分泌肿瘤(colonic neuroendocrine tumor, C-NET)转移率及相关危险因素,比较未转移(T1N0M0期)C-NET患者接受局部切除治疗(local excision, LE)或根治性手术治疗(radical surgery, RS)后的长期生存情况。
方法分析SEER数据库内2004年1月1日至2015年12月31日经病理学诊断为T1期C-NET患者的相关信息。采用Cox回归分析评估C-NET患者发生转移的影响因素。将未发生转移的C-NET患者分为LE组和RS组,并采用倾向得分匹配(propensity score matching, PSM),根据患者性别、年龄、肿瘤最大径、浸润深度进行1∶1匹配,卡钳值设定为0.02。使用Kaplan-Meier生存曲线来分析患者5年癌症特异性生存(cancer-specific survival, CSS)和总生存(overall survival, OS)。采用Cox回归分析评估转移对生存的影响。
结果共纳入419例T1期C-NET患者,其中19例(4.53%)发生远处转移。多因素Cox回归分析显示,肿瘤最大径为11~20 mm(HR=9.264,95% CI 3.322~25.835,P<0.001)、肿瘤位于右结肠(HR=0.116,95% CI 0.042~0.321,P<0.001)和黏膜下浸润(HR=5.842,95% CI 1.858~18.371,P=0.003)是T1期C-NET远处转移的独立危险因素。未转移与转移患者的5年OS率分别是94.5%和47.4%(χ2=79.762, P<0.001),5年CSS率分别为99.5%和55.7%(χ2=164.604,P<0.001)。PSM前未转移C-NET患者LE及RS后5年OS率为95.8%、90.1%(χ2=2.679,P=0.063),5年CSS率为100.0%和97.2%(χ2=0.579,P=0.038);PSM后患者LE及RS后5年OS率为96.8%和92.1%(χ2=3.606,P=0.058),5年CSS率为100.0%和98.5%(χ2=1.015,P=0.314)。PSM后LE组和RS组按肿瘤位置、肿瘤最大径和黏膜下浸润分层患者间5年OS和CSS差异均无统计学意义。
结论肿瘤最大径11~20 mm、位于右结肠和黏膜下浸润是T1期C-NET远处转移的独立危险因素;LE可作为未转移T1期C-NET的合适治疗方案。
Abstract:ObjectiveTo explore the metastasis rate and related risk factors of T1 stage colonic neuroendocrine tumor (C-NET), and to compare the long-term survival outcomes of patients with non-metastatic (T1N0M0 stage) C-NET after local excision (LE) or radical surgery (RS).
MethodsClinical information of 433 patients diagnosed with C-NET in the SEER database from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2015 were analyzed. Cox regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of metastasis of C-NET. The patients without metastasis were divided into LE group and RS group, and assigned in a 1∶1 ratio using propensity score matching (PSM) according to gender, age, tumor largest diameter, and infiltration depth, with a caliper value set to 0.02. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) of patients. Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the influence of metastasis on survival.
ResultsAmong 419 C-NET patients, 19(4.52%) had distant metastases. Cox regression analysis showed that 11-20 mm of tumor large diameter (HR=9.264, 95%CI 3.322-25.835, P < 0.001), right colon location (HR=0.116, 95%CI 0.042-0.321, P < 0.001), and submucosal invasion (HR=5.842, 95%CI 1.858-18.371, P=0.003) were independent risk factors for distant metastasis of T1 stage C-NET. The 5-year OS rates of non-metastatic and metastatic patients were 94.5% and 47.4%, respectively (χ2=79.762, P < 0.001), and their 5-year CSS rates were 99.5% and 55.7%, respectively (χ2=164.604, P < 0.001). Before PSM, the 5-year OS rates of non-metastatic C-NET patients after LE and RS were 95.8% and 90.1% (χ2=2.679, P=0.063), and the 5-year CSS rates were 100.0% and 97.2% (χ2=0.579, P=0.038); after PSM, the 5-year OS rates of non-metastatic patients after LE and RS were 96.8% and 92.1% (χ2=3.606, P=0.058), and the 5-year CSS rates were 100.0% and 98.5% (χ2=1.015, P=0.314). After PSM, there was no significant difference in the 5-year OS and CSS of patients with defferent tumor location, tumor large diameter, or submucosal invasion between the LE and RS groups.
Conclusions11-20 mm of tumor diameter, right colon location, and submucosal invasion might be independent risk factors for distant metastasis of T1 stage C-NET, and LE could be an appropriate treatment option for non-metastatic C-NET.

神经内分泌肿瘤(neuroendocrine tumor, NET)是来源于神经内分泌细胞的罕见肿瘤,其中约2/3发生在胃肠道[1-2]。结肠NET(colonic NET, C-NET)的发病率低于直肠、小肠和阑尾NET,但是结肠中第二常见的恶性肿瘤[1, 3-4]。
近年来,结直肠NET的发病率呈上升趋势[5]。C-NET较直肠NET更具侵袭性,且分化程度较低,诊断时转移率高[2, 6]。切除是结直肠NET的首选治疗方案[7]。随着结肠镜的广泛使用,局部切除(local excision, LE)在小结直肠NET中的应用越来越多。然而,由于C-NET的独特临床特征,目前其治疗方案在全球指南间存在差异。美国国立综合癌症网络(The US National Comprehensive Cancer Network, NCCN)指南[8]推荐对C-NET进行肠段切除和局部淋巴结清扫;日本神经内分泌肿瘤学会(Japanese Neuroendocrine Tumor Society, JNET)建议对无淋巴血管和肌层侵犯的局部结直肠NET(<1 cm)进行内镜切除[9];中国指南[10]则建议对肿瘤最大径≤2 cm、良好分化(G1)/中度分化(G2)C-NET试行内镜下治疗。
本研究对SEER数据库中相关数据进行分析,评估T1期C-NET的转移相关危险因素,并比较进行LE和RS后未转移T1期C-NET患者的长期生存情况,进而评估LE对小型C-NET(最大径小于1 cm)患者的有效性和安全性。
1. 资料与方法
1.1 一般资料
签署SEER研究数据相关协议,访问SEER Research Data 18 Registries(http://www.seer.cancer.gov)中的数据,获取2004年1月1日至2015年12月31日经病理诊断符合《国际疾病分类-肿瘤学第3版》T1期C-NET的患者,患者随访截止日期为2017年12月31日。排除标准:(1)年龄小于18岁或大于80岁;(2)肿瘤低度分化(G3)/未分化或为间变性(G4);(3)随访时间短于6个月;(4)缺乏淋巴结转移(lymph node metastasis, LNM)或远处转移信息;(5)缺乏手术信息;(6)缺乏肿瘤大小和浸润深度信息;(7)肿瘤最大径>2 cm。
1.2 观察指标
获取患者的一般信息(诊断年份、年龄、性别),肿瘤特征(部位、侵入深度、肿瘤大小和转移),治疗方式以及随访期间的生存信息。右半结肠包括盲肠、升结肠、结肠肝曲和横结肠;左半结肠包括结肠脾曲、降结肠、乙状结肠和直乙交界处结肠[11]。检索美国外科医师学会癌症委员会的肿瘤登记数据系统中手术代码,将未发生转移(T1N0M0)的患者分为LE(代码:20~29)组和根治手术(RS,代码:30、32、40、41、50、70)组。分析转移风险因素;比较LE组和RS组患者术后5年癌症特异性生存(cancer-specific survival, CSS)和总生存(overall survival, OS)。
1.3 统计学处理
采用SPSS 25.0软件和R 4.3.2软件进行分析,计量资料以x±s表示,组间比较采用t检验;计数资料以n(%)表示,组间比较采用χ2检验或Fisher确切概率法。采用倾向得分匹配(propensity score matching, PSM),根据患者性别、年龄、肿瘤最大径、浸润深度对LE组和RS组患者进行1∶1匹配,卡钳值设定为0.02。通过Kaplan-Meier生存曲线及log-rank检验分析两组患者及不同分层患者间生存差异,采用Cox回归分析评估转移对生存的影响。所有假设均为双侧检验,检验水准(α)为0.05。

随着内镜技术的普及,胃肠道NET的发现率逐年增加。SEER数据库显示,与1997年相比,2011年胃肠道NET发病率增加了6倍,估计每10万人中有3.56例胃肠道NET[12]。在日本,其发病率从2005年的每10万人中2.07例增加至2010年的每10万人中4.52例[13]。以往C-NET的首选治疗为手术结合局部淋巴结清扫[8]。随着结肠镜筛查的普及和内镜下治疗技术的快速发展,小C-NET的检出率逐年升高,局部切除成为也可能[14]。荷兰一项研究[5]发现,C-NET的内镜切除率从2006年的7%增加至2016年的52%。然而,与临床常见的直肠NET不同,少有研究关注C-NET患者早期远处转移和局部切除后的预后情况。
肿瘤大小是预测结直肠NET转移的关键因素之一[15]。Lee等[16]研究发现,肿瘤大小与肿瘤侵入深度、淋巴侵犯与否和有丝分裂有关。本研究中,最大径11~20 mm肿瘤的转移风险高于最大径≤10 mm肿瘤,浸润黏膜下层者转移率也更高(P<0.01)。一项纳入929例C-NET患者的研究[17]发现,肿瘤位于黏膜内,最大径<1 cm者淋巴结转移率为4%。欧洲NET协会推荐,对于最大径<1 cm、限于黏膜内的患者,进行局部或内窥镜切除而不行淋巴结清扫[18]。
本研究发现,C-NET位于右半结肠者转移率高于位于左半结肠者(P<0.001),可能与胚胎学起源相关。右半结肠起源于中肠,类似于回肠起源,而左结肠起源于后肠,类似于直肠;同时,不同于多发的回肠NET,右结肠NET多为单发、直径较大,且侵袭性更高;大多数回肠NET细胞为产5-羟色胺的肠嗜铬细胞(enterochromaffin cell, EC),而右结肠NET有较大异质性,包括EC细胞、L细胞和其他类型[18]。因此,对于右半结肠NET,选择治疗方案选择时可能需要更严格的临床评估和辅助检查(内窥镜超声、计算机断层扫描等);而对于左结肠NET,LE可能安全且有效[19]。肿瘤的偏侧性可能影响各种肿瘤患者的预后,除胚胎学起源外,解剖结构、血液循环和淋巴循环的异质性,以及与周围脏器的关系等可能也是相关因素[20-21]。
本研究发现,T1期C-NET非转移患者5年OS、CSS率均高于转移患者(P<0.001),证实远处转移是导致C-NET预后不良的重要因素。因此,治疗前通过超声内镜或CT检查远处转移情况具有重要临床意义。未转移直肠NET患者接受LS后可获得长期生存,而未转移C-NET患者的治疗方案目前仍存在争议[22]。尽管NCCN指南推荐将肠切除+淋巴结清扫作为治疗C-NET的首选,但本研究发现LE已成为未转移C-NET的首选方法(325/400,81.25%),且接受LE的患者术后5年OS和CSS与接受RS者相当,提示LE对于该类患者有效且安全。亚组分析中,由于肿瘤最大径为11~20 mm的患者较少,分别仅9例患者行LE治疗、7例患者行RS治疗,这可能是导致两组5年OS和CSS差异无统计学意义的原因。
本研究局限性:(1)由于C-NET的发病率较低,一些亚组患者数量较少。(2)获取了初次治疗数据,但未对患者化疗、放疗及靶向治疗等信息进行分析,可能导致生存结果偏倚。由于针对治疗方式的研究中患者均未出现远处转移,后续治疗影响可能相对较小。(3)SEER数据库中缺乏Ki-67和有丝分裂指数等重要的C-NET分类指标。
综上所述,本研究发现,T1期C-NET患者转移率较低,肿瘤最大径11~20 mm、位于右半结肠和黏膜下浸润是T1期C-NET转移的独立危险因素;在未转移患者中,LS和RS术后5年生存差异不明显,提示对于该类C-NET患者,LE可能是有效且安全的治疗选择。
