Survival rates vary greatly between the different subgroups, andadenocarcinoma has the worst prognosis. Surgery is the only curative treatment, however, the long-term benefit of extended surgical resections over appendectomy has not been established. This study aimed to investigate survival outcomes in patients withappendicealadenocarcinoma that undergo appendectomy versus right hemicolectomy (RHC).  \nMaterials and Methods: This study involved a systematic literature search in databases PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library using the COVIDENCE software. Cohort studies reporting survival outcomes for patients with non-metastasised appendicealadenocarcinoma undergoing appendectomy versus RHC were included. A random-effects model was used to pool hazard ratios (HRs) in the meta-analysis performed in Review Manager. The ROBINS-I V2 tool was used for risk of bias assessment.  \nResults: A total of nine retrospective registry-based cohort studies were identified. Seven studies, with a total of 17,802 patients, reported overall survival (OS) from multivariable Cox-regression analysis. The pooled effect of adjusted HRs demonstrated increased OS [random-effects HR=0.69, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.58-0.83] for patients undergoing RHC, with similar results in the sensitivity analysis excluding potential overlapping data (random-effects HR=0.70, 95% CI=0.51-0.96) . No significant difference in OS was found in studies reporting subgroup analysis for well-differentiated adenocarcinoma.  \nConclusion: This systematic review highlights the complexity of surgical treatment guidelines in appendicealadenocarcinoma. The findings suggest a survival advantage for RHC compared to appendectomy. In well differentiated early-stage adenocarcinoma, appendectomy may be sufficient, although this may not apply to all subgroups.  \nKeywords: Appendiceal malignancy, appendiceal adenocarcinoma, survival, appendectomy, hemicolectomy, review.  \n✉ Shaima Ramadan, Inga Marie Nilssons gata 47, 205 02 Malmö, Sweden.

Despite constituting a small fraction of gastrointestinal malignancies, recent epidemiological studies indicate a rising incidence of appendiceal adenocarcinoma over the past two decades, particularly in Western populations (3-5). This trend has been accompanied by a growing recognition of their biological heterogeneity and complex case management, reflected in recent updates to the WHO classification system and Swedish national treatment guidelines (6-8) .  \nThe prognosis for appendiceal adenocarcinoma is generally poor, with five-year survival rates ranging from 27% to 93%, largely depending on the histological subtype, disease stage at diagnosis and completeness of surgical resection (9-11) .
