Title: | United states military cancer institute clinical trials group (USMCI GI-01) randomized controlled trial comparing targeted nodal assessment and ultrastaging with standard pathological evaluation for colon cancer | Authors: | Nissan A.

Issue Date: | 1-Sep-2012 | Journal: | Annals of Surgery | Abstract: | Objective: Our randomized controlled trial previously demonstrated improved staging accuracy with targeted nodal assessment and ultrastaging (TNA-us) in colon cancer (CC). Our objective was to test the hypothesis that TNA-us improves disease-free survival (DFS) in CC. Methods: In this randomized trial, targeted nodal assessment and ultrastaging resulted in enhanced lymph node diagnostic yield associated with improved staging accuracy, which was further associated with improved disease-free survival in early colon cancer. Results: Clinical parameters of the control (n = 94) and TNA-us (n = 98) groups were comparable. Median (interquartile range) lymph node yield was higher in the TNA-us arm: 16 (12-22) versus 13 (10-18); P = 0.002. Median follow-up was 46 (29-70) months. Overall 5-year DFS was 61% in the control arm and 71% in the TNA-us arm (P = 0.11). Clinical parameters of node-negative patients in the control (n = 51) and TNA-us (n = 55) groups were comparable. Lymph node yield was higher in the TNA-us arm: 15 (12-21) versus 13 (8-18); P = 0.03. Five-year DFS differed significantly between groups with node-negative CC (control 71% vs TNA-us 86%; P = 0.04). Survival among stage II CC alone was higher in the TNA-us group, 83% versus 65%; P = 0.03. Adjuvant chemotherapy use was nearly identical between groups. TNA-us stratified CC prognosis; DFS differed significantly between ultrastaged and conventionally staged node-negative patients [control pN0 72% vs TNA-us pN0(i-) 87%; P = 0.03]. Survival varied according to lymph node yield in patients with node-negative CC [5-year DFS: <12 lymph nodes = 57% vs 12+ lymph nodes = 85%; P = 0.011] but not in stage III CC. Conclusions: TNA-us is associated with improved nodal diagnostic yield and enhanced staging accuracy (stage migration), which is further associated with improved DFS in early CC. © 2012 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/12163 | ISSN: | 34932 | DOI: | 10.1097/SLA.0b013e31826571c8 |
