Abstract 410P

Background

Guidelines recommend regional lymphadenectomy with at least 12 assessed lymph nodes (LN) for adequate colon cancer (CC) staging. Recent data suggest that the worse survival of right-sided CC can be mitigated by harvesting more than 22 LN. We studied the impact of lymphadenectomy yield and tumour side on CC staging and survival.

Methods

This is a Portuguese, multicentre, retrospective cohort study. All patients (pts) with stage I-III CC that underwent surgical resection from 2012 to 2018 were included and grouped according to LN yield: <12, 12-21 and ≥22. Primary outcomes were LN-positivity (N+) rate and overall survival (OS), with disease-free survival (DFS) as a secondary outcome. Similar exploratory analysis was done by tumour sidedness (right CC, up to the splenic flexure, vs left CC). Standard univariate and multivariate analyses were performed w/ binomial logistic regression models for assessing the independent impact of the LN yield on N+ rate, and standard survival analysis for OS and DFS.

Results

808 pts (mean age 69.6 yo, 54% male, 53% left-sided CC) were included, 95 with <12, 323 with 12-21 and 390 with ≥22 resected LN; 29% with stage I, 37% stage II and 34% stage III CC. 38% were treated with adjuvant chemotherapy (CT), the majority with a platinum doublet (68%). Pts in the ≥22 LN group were younger (P=0.03), had more right-sided tumours and stage III CC (P<0.0001); in addition compared to pts with <12 LN, they had higher levels of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and treatment with adjuvant CT (P=0.01). There was a nonsignificant likelihood of N+ tumours in univariate logistic regression in the ≥22 LN group (OR 1.33, P=0.07), which remained nonsignificant after adjusting for T stage and LVI. With a median follow-up of 43 months, there was no difference on univariate analysis in OS or DFS between the 3 groups (log rank test P=0.47 and P=0.67, respectively). In multivariate analysis, adjusting for age, T and N stage, laparoscopic vs open approach and adjuvant CT, pts with ≥22 resected LN had longer OS compared to the other groups (HR 0.724, 95%CI 0.526-0.998), but not DFS. There was no interaction between CC sidedness and LN group on either N+ status, OS or DFS.

Conclusions

Resection of ≥22 LN was associated with longer OS but not with higher odds of N+ staging in pts with operable CC, independently of tumour sidedness.
