Aims: We sought to investigate if mismatch repair (MMR) status influences the preoperative staging of local colon cancer. Methods: Data from 590 patients in the Danish Colorectal Cancer Group national clinical database who were operated on for stage I-III colon cancer in 2010-15 were included. MMR status was determined by immunohistochemistry. Results: 22.9% had deficient(d) MMR tumors. Correlation of the clinical and pathological T-category was significant for both groups. The correlation of pre- and postoperative N-category was inferior (p >0.05) in dMMR cancers compared to a significant (p <0.01) correlation in proficient MMR cancers. 64.8% of dMMR tumors assessed node-positive demonstrated no sign of metastatic involvement at the postoperative assessment. Conclusion: MMR status seems to impact the accuracy of preoperative lymph node staging.

16 Background: Computed tomography (CT) scan is standard in preoperative local staging of colon cancer. Tumours with a deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) system are characterised by unique clinical and pathophysiologic aspects that may impact on the accuracy of the preoperative CT staging. Methods: Data from the Danish Colorectal Cancer Group national clinical database addressing a cohort of patients operated for stage I-III colon cancer in 2010-15 was analysed. The analyses of MMR status had been conducted consecutively through means of immunohistochemistry. All CT scans were blindly assessed by a certified radiologist. Results: Data from 590 patients, operated at a specialised cancer centre were available for analyses. A dMMR phenotype was detected in 135 (22.9%) of the patients. The overall correlation of the clinical and pathological T-category was significant for both groups. There was inferior correlation between cN and pN (p > 0.05) in pMMR cancers with a higher degree of over-staging assessed by CT-scan, compared to a significant correlation between cN and pN stage in pMMR cancers (p < 0.01). Of the 91 dMMR tumours judged node-positive by the preoperative CT scan, 59 (64.8%) showed no sign of metastatic involvement at the postoperative assessment. Conclusions: The accuracy of preoperative CT lymph node staging in colon cancer seems to differ depending on MMR status and may impact the clinical management including the neoadjuvant setting.

Background: Colon cancer is a common disease in western populations. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency and other patient and tumor characteristics on the accuracy of preoperative staging by comparing histopathological T- and N-categories of the resected specimen with the preoperative clinical stage in a nationwide cohort of patients treated for colon cancer by elective bowel resection with curative intent. Methods: A register study of a cohort extracted from the Danish Colorectal Cancer Group (DCCG) database, which holds prospective data on all new cases of colon and rectum cancer in Denmark. Patients diagnosed with colon cancer and treated with an elective bowel resection with curative intent in the years 2016–2019 were analyzed. Results: A total of 6102 patients were included (n = 3161 (52%) men and n = 2941 (48%) women) with a median age of 72 years (range 23–97 years). MMR was deficient in 24% of the patients and proficient in 76%. MMR deficiency, tumor sidedness and histopathological type were significant predictors of the accuracy of preoperative staging of colon cancer in univariate and multivariate analysis. MMR status in particular showed a strong impact on the risk of overstaging. Conclusions: MMR deficiency, but also tumor sidedness and to some degree histopathological type, impacted the accuracy of preoperative staging of colon cancer. MMR status should be taken into consideration in everyday clinical staging.
