Prognosis of resectable colorectal liver metastases after surgery associated with pathological features of primary tumor

Surgery is an important means for patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) to improve their long-term survival, and accurate screening of high-risk factors is crucial to guiding postoperative monitoring and treatment. With this in mind, the aim of this study was to investigate the expression levels and prognostic roles of Mismatch Repair (MMR), Ki67, and Lymphovascular invasion(LVI) in the tumor tissues of colorectal of CRLM. 85 Patients with CRLM who received surgical treatment for liver metastases after colorectal cancer resection from June, 2017 and Jan, 2020 were included in this study. Independent risk factors affecting the survival of patients with CRLM were investigated using a Cox regression model and the Kaplan-Meier method, and a nomogram for predicting the OS of patients with CRLM was established according to a Cox multivariate regression model. Calibration plots and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to assess the performance of the nomogram. The median survival time was 39 months (95% CI: 32.05-45.950), and MMR, Ki67 and LVI were significantly correlated with prognosis. Univariate analysis indicated that larger metastasis size (p=0.028), more than one liver metastases (p=0.001),higher serum CA199 (p
