Risk factors of lymph node metastasis in patients with T1 stage colorectal cancer-a retrospective cohort study based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with T1 stage early colorectal cancer (CRC) can be treated with radical surgery or endoscopic surgery. Endoscopic surgery has a number of advantages, including minimal trauma and a rapid recovery. However, it cannot remove regional lymph nodes to assess whether there is lymph node metastasis. Thus, the analysis of the risk factors of lymph node metastasis in patients with T1 stage CRC is of great significance in the selection of appropriate treatment methods. Although previous studies have explored the risk factors for lymph node metastasis in T1 stage CRC patients, the number of cases were relatively insufficient, and further exploration is necessary.

Methods

A total of 2,085 patients who had been pathologically diagnosed with CRC from 2015 to 2017 from
