Risk factors for conditional survival and lymph node metastases in appendiceal adenocarcinoma
In this national cohort, one-fourth of appendiceal adenocarcinoma patients had nodal metastases, which were associated with worse prognosis, validating the importance of segmental colectomy in staging and management. Although patients who survived at least 2 years had improved long-term outcomes, those with higher T stage, tumour grade or nodal involvement remained at elevated risk of mortality and may need prolonged close surveillance.
