Perioperative transfusion and the prognosis of colorectal cancer surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: BackgroundPerioperative transfusion can reduce the survival rate in colorectal cancer patients. The effects of transfusion on the short- and long-term prognoses are becoming intriguing.ObjectiveThis systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to define the effects of perioperative transfusion on the short- and long-term prognoses of colorectal cancer surgery.ResultsThirty-six clinical observational studies, with a total of 174,036 patients, were included. Perioperative transfusion decreased overall survival (OS)… Show more

“…Allogeneic blood transfusions have been associated with increased postoperative infective complications, increased disease recurrence, and poorer survival following surgery for colorectal cancer (Acheson et al 2012;Pang et al 2019). Although the mechanism is not fully understood, one key hypothesis is that allogenic blood causes host adaptive immune suppression (Blumberg and Heal 1994), even when using modern leucodepleted packed red cells (Mynster et al 2000).…”

“…With the development of new medical technology, like neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, the possibility of allogeneic RBC transfusion is increasing [17]. Allogeneic RBC transfusion can improve the outcome in recipients by establishing blood volume, improving blood perfusion, and changing the gut microbiome [2,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. However, allogeneic RBC transfusion can also expose recipients to a chance of immunosuppression or poor survival.…”

“…Correspondingly, chronic obesity is considered a state of a low-grade inflammation and tightly linked with an immune dysregulation which, in patients undergoing colorectal surgery, translates into an increased risk of complications, including anastomotic leak and sepsis [21]. Furthermore, perioperative transfusions in patients undergoing colorectal surgery are associated with adverse clinical outcomes, such as decreased survival, increased postoperative infections, anastomotic complications, and others, although whether the effect is mediated by suppressed immune function or not is unresolved [22].…”
