Changes to circulating tumor cells in the central vein during laparoscopic versus transanal endoscopic surgeries for rectal cancer: can surgical approach make a difference?
Background: The oncological safety of transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) remains uncertain, and its special surgical approach may contribute to tumor cell dissemination. Thus, we conducted a study to investigate the impact of surgical approach on circulating tumor cell (CTC) counts and phenotypes in rectal cancer.
Methods: This is a prospective randomized controlled study (ClinicalTrials: NCT05109130). The patients were randomized to either the taTME (n =49) or laparoscopic TME (laTME) (n =48) groups. Blood samples were collected from the central vein to measure CTC counts and phenotypes at three time points: preoperative (t1), immediately post-tumor removal (t2), and one week post-surgery (t3). The effect of surgical procedure on CTCs at each time point was analyzed, with the primary endpoint being the change in CTC counts from t1 to t3 for each surgical approach. This study adheres to Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials Guidelines.
Results: The baseline clinicopathologic characteristics of the laTME and taTME groups were balanced. The change in CTC count from t1 to t3 was 1.81 ± 5.66 in the laTME group and 2.18 ± 5.53 in the taTME group. The taTME surgery was non-inferior to laTME in terms of changing CTC counts (mean difference [MD]: -0.371; 95% confidence interval [CI]: -2.626 to 1.883, upper-sided 95% CI of 1.883 < 2, non-inferiority boundary value). Compared with that at t1, the CTC count at t2 did not change significantly. However, higher CTC counts were detected at t3 than at t2 in the taTME (P =0.032) and laTME (P =0.003) groups. From t1 to t3, CTC counts significantly increased in both the taTME (P =0.008) and laTME (P =0.031) groups. There were no significant differences in CTC phenotype changes between the two groups from t1 to t3.
Conclusions: Compared with laTME, taTME did not affect CTC counts and phenotypes. Our findings indicate that taTME is not inferior to laTME in terms of CTC changes from an oncological perspective.
