Surgical outcomes and survival rates of colon cancer in children and young adults - 12/04/21
, Ugwuji N. Maduekwe b, Andrea Hayes-Jordan aAbstract |
Introduction |
Colon cancer in children and young adults is rare. We sought to compare outcomes and survival between patients ≤and>25 years of age with colon cancer.
Methods |
Using the National Cancer Database, patients with colon cancer between 2004 and 2016 were identified. We included patients with histological codes consistent with invasive colon adenocarcinoma and excluded those missing data about treatment. Post-surgical outcomes and survival were compared.
Results |
Of 531,462 patients meeting criteria, 947 were ≤25 years. Patients ≤25 had more advanced disease (stage III:44.4%vs33.4%, stage IV:27.5%vs.15.3%) and higher rates of total colectomy (8.9%vs.2.7%) and proctocolectomy (5.0%vs.0.0%) than those >25 years. Stage for stage, 5-year survival was higher in patients ≤25 than those >25years. On multivariate regression, age was not associated with increased risk of mortality while male sex and uninsured status were.
Conclusions |
Despite presenting with more advanced disease, patients ≤25 years with colon cancer had better survival than those >25 years.

• | Colon cancer is rare in pediatric patients, but associated with more advanced disease and aggressive histology. |
• | We found that stage-specific survival was higher in patients ≤25 years of age compared to those >25 years of age. |
• | Factors associated with worsened outcomes include non-private insurance status, and low and medium socioeconomic status. |
