Abstract:Objective: To investigate the risk factors affecting tumor recurrence after pheochromocytoma (PCC) surgery, to predict postoperative recurrence in patients with PCC, and to provide assistance in reducing PCC recurrence. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 310 patients who were hospitalized and underwent tumor resection for PCC at our center from 2012 January to 2020 June was conducted to compare the clinical and postoperative outcomes of patients who underwent surgical treatment,multivariate logistic regression analysis of risk factors for tumor recurrence after surgery. Results: Compared with nonrecurrence group,young age, comorbid hypertension, history of previous pheochromocytoma recurrence, Ki-67 level, and high bilateral probability of neoplasia were significant in the rucurrence group (P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed age [OR=5.765, 95% CI: 0.926-0.992; P=0.016], comorbid hypertension [OR=5.767, 95% CI: 1.306-13.995; P=0.016], history of previous recurrence of pheochromocytoma [OR=18.655, 95% CI: 4.455-53.320; P<0.001], admission diastolic pressure [OR=4.400, 95% CI: 0.286-4.710; P=0.036], bilateral tumors [OR=0.044, 95% CI: 1.030-1.079; P=0.834] were risk factors of postoperative recurrence. Conclusion: Age, comorbid hypertension, history of recurrent pheochromocytoma, and diastolic blood pressure were independent factors for recurrence of PCC tumors.
