Abstract:

Objective

To explore the impact of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and telomere status on the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).

Methods

A retrospective analysis of 256 patients with CRC who met the inclusion criteria in the Department of General Surgery at the First Hospital of Jinan University from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2016.

Results

The significant differences in clinical characteristics between patients in the MetS and non-MetS groups were T stage (P=0.047), M stage (P=0.043) and clinical stage (P=0.043), while the differences in gender, tumor site and N stage were not statistically significant. In addition, both mean telomere length and telomerase activity were correlated with theM stage. Finally, Kaplan-Meiersurvival analysis and COX regression analysis revealed important factors on the prognosis of CRC patients including M stage (HR=2.695, 95% CI: 1.715-4.236), clinical stage (HR=5.345, 95% CI: 3.216-8.883), metabolic syndrome (HR=1.552, 95%CI: 1.053-2.289).

Conclusions

The prognosis of CRC patients with MetS is poor. This indicates that the prognosis of patients may be improved by controlling the components of MetS such as blood pressure, insulin resistance and body weight.

Key words: metabolic syndrome, telomere, colorectal cancer, survival analysis, overall survival
