[導(dǎo)讀] 根據(jù)杰弗遜金梅爾癌癥中心研究人員2月9日在《臨床癌癥研究》上公布了一項(xiàng)新研究表明,定量、分子分析患者淋巴結(jié)可以有效預(yù)測大腸癌的復(fù)發(fā)幾率
The researchers had previously concluded that expression of GUCY2C increased risk of recurrence. However, it is apparent that nodal metastases do not assure recurrence; rather they indicate risk.
The researchers found that patients with greater occult tumor burden have a greater risk of recurrence compared to patients with less burden. Thus, molecular tumor burden in lymph nodes are independently associated with time to recurrence and disease-free survival in patients with node-negative colorectal cancer.
"This approach can improve prognostic risk stratification and chemotherapeutic allocation in pN0 patients," the authors write. "More generally, this study reveals a previously unappreciated paradigm to advance cancer staging, clinically translating emerging molecular platforms that complement histopathology, laboratory diagnostic, and imaging modalities."
