In comparison with polypectomy, colorectal resection is associated with improved survival for patients diagnosed with malignant polyps

Aim Patients diagnosed with a malignant polyp generally have favourable overall survival (OS) and cancer‐specific survival (CSS). However, it is unclear how choice in management for malignant polyps may affect survival. Methods Data from the Queensland Oncology Repository was analysed to derive a po...

Description
Summary:Aim Patients diagnosed with a malignant polyp generally have favourable overall survival (OS) and cancer‐specific survival (CSS). However, it is unclear how choice in management for malignant polyps may affect survival. Methods Data from the Queensland Oncology Repository was analysed to derive a population wide assessment of the impact of management strategy on OS and CSS for patients diagnosed with malignant polyps. Log‐rank testing, Kaplan–Meier and Cox‐regression models were performed. Patients were matched using propensity score and Mahalanobis distance matching. Results A total of 1,646 patients were included with 240 deaths and 52 colorectal cancer related deaths until censor date. Following propensity score and Mahalanobis distance matching of patients undergoing polypectomy alone versus colorectal resection, there was no significant difference in the age groups (
