Résumé

There is limited research on management of metastatic anal canal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) to the liver. This study aimed to describe outcomes for patients undergoing liver resection of anal SCC metastases. A multicenter, retrospective cohort study was conducted by three tertiary-referral centers. Patients undergoing liver surgery between 2008 and 2022 were included. Cox regression analysis was performed to evaluate predictors of recurrence and survival and Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed for 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival. Twenty-one patients underwent liver resection and/or ablation. None were HIV positive and 24% had known HPV infection. 20/21(95%) patients had undergone Nigro protocol for management of the primary tumor with 12/21 (57%) patients experiencing complete response. 4/21 (19%) patients had synchronous liver metastases at time of diagnosis. Median tumor size was 5.0 cm and median tumor number was one. At analysis, 52% remained alive. Median overall survival was 32.2 months. 5-year overall survival was 50%. Median recurrence-free survival was 7.7 months and 5-year recurrence-free survival was 30%. Need for salvage abdominoperineal resection was negatively associated with recurrence-free survival. The most common site of recurrence was the liver. Liver resection for metastatic anal SCC can be beneficial for appropriately selected patients.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES OBJECTIVE
There is limited research on management of metastatic anal canal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) to the liver. This study aimed to describe outcomes for patients undergoing liver resection of anal SCC metastases.
METHODS METHODS
A multicenter, retrospective cohort study was conducted by three tertiary-referral centers. Patients undergoing liver surgery between 2008 and 2022 were included. Cox regression analysis was performed to evaluate predictors of recurrence and survival and Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed for 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival.
RESULTS RESULTS
Twenty-one patients underwent liver resection and/or ablation. None were HIV positive and 24% had known HPV infection. 20/21(95%) patients had undergone Nigro protocol for management of the primary tumor with 12/21 (57%) patients experiencing complete response. 4/21 (19%) patients had synchronous liver metastases at time of diagnosis. Median tumor size was 5.0 cm and median tumor number was one. At analysis, 52% remained alive. Median overall survival was 32.2 months. 5-year overall survival was 50%. Median recurrence-free survival was 7.7 months and 5-year recurrence-free survival was 30%. Need for salvage abdominoperineal resection was negatively associated with recurrence-free survival. The most common site of recurrence was the liver.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Liver resection for metastatic anal SCC can be beneficial for appropriately selected patients.
