Clinical significance of 206 station lymph node in transverse colon cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lymph node (LN) metastasis is crucial in determining the prognosis and treatment options for colon cancer patients. Our work was to study whether the lymph nodes beyond D3 station in transverse colon cancer, especially 206 LN, should be dissected.

Methods

A total of 225 patients within our department were reviewed. The primary and secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). We employed Propensity score weighting (PSW) for weighing participants to balance observed confounders between the 206^D+ group and the 206^D- group.

Results

The rate of metastasis in station 206 was 9.3%. Only T stage (OR, 3.009; 95% CI, 1.018-8.892), N stage (OR, 9.818; 95% CI, 1.158-83.227), and M stage (OR, 26.126; 95% CI, 1.274
