The role of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with stage II colon cancer remains to be elucidated and its use varies between patients and institutions. Currently, clinical guidelines suggest discussing adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with high-risk stage II disease in the absence of conclusive randomized controlled trial data. In order to further investigate this relationship, the study aimed to determine whether an association exists between overall survival (OS) and adjuvant chemotherapy in patients stratified by age and pathological-risk features. Data from the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) was analyzed for demographics, tumor characteristics, management, and survival of patients with stage II colon cancer diagnosed from 1998-2006 with survival information through 2011. Pearson Chi-squared tests and binary logistic regression were used to analyze disease and demographic data. Survival analysis was performed with the Log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards regression modeling. Propensity score weighting was utilized to match cohorts. In 153,110 stage II colon cancer patients, predictors of receiving chemotherapy included age <65, male gender, non-Caucasian race, community treatment facility, non-Medicare insurance, and diagnosis before 2004. Improved and clinically relevant overall survival was associated with the receipt of adjuvant chemotherapy in all patient sub-groups regardless of high-risk tumor pathologic features (poor or undifferentiated histology, <12 lymph nodes evaluated, positive margins, or T4 histology), age, or chemotherapy regimen, even after adjustment for covariates and propensity score weighting (HR 0.76, p<0.001). There was not a difference in survival between single and multi-agent adjuvant chemotherapy regimens. In the largest group of stage II colon cancer patients evaluated to date, improved OS was associated with adjuvant chemotherapy regardless of treatment regimen, patient age, or high-risk pathologic risk features.
