Abstract | Background: In patients with stage II colon cancer (CC) undergoing minimally invasive surgery, the association between the clinical significance of lymph node yield and tumor localization remains unknown. We aimed to determine the optimal number of lymph nodes to be retrieved based on tumor localization in patients with stage II CC undergoing minimally invasive surgery. Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective study. Overall, 263 patients with stage II CC who underwent laparoscopic surgery between January 1, 2008 and December 31 were enrolled. The primary outcome was the optimal number of lymph nodes retrieved based on tumor localization. Results: The median number of retrieved lymph nodes was 30 and 26 in the right-(n = 125) and left-sided (n = 138) CC groups, respectively (p = .0007). Inadequate dissection (<12 nodes) occurred in 4.2% of patients: 1.6% in the right-sided CC group and 6.5% in the left-sided CC group. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed a decreasing trend in adjusted hazard ratios with increasing nodes, with an optimal cutoff of 15 lymph nodes in the left-sided CC group (adjusted hazard ratio, 5.868; 95% confidence interval, 1.247-27.62; p = .02). Lymph node yield was not independently associated with survival in the right-sided CC group. Conclusions: For patients with left-sided stage II CC undergoing laparoscopic surgery, aiming for at least 15 retrieved lymph nodes may be optimal for accurate staging and prognostic assessment. The optimal lymph node yield likely varies based on tumor location, requiring further investigation in right-sided CC. |
