Abstract Background: The oncological impact of vascular invasion (VI), when compared with that of lymph node metastasis (LNM), has been underestimated in clinicopathological staging of colon cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic impact of VI in comparison with that of LNM in non-metastatic colon cancer.Methods: Patients who underwent surgery for stage I-III colon cancer were divided into four groups depending on the status of VI and LNM (Group I: VI-/LNM-; Group II: VI+/LNM-; Group III: VI-/LNM+; Group IV: VI+/LNM+). Group III was subdivided according to the node (N) stage (Group IIIA: VI-/N1; Group IIIB: VI-/N2). Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival were compared.Results: In total, 793 non-metastatic colon cancer patients were included. Group II (hazard ratio [HR] 2.34, 1.01-5.41), Group III (HR 1.91, 1.26-2.89), and Group IV (HR 2.34, 1.33-4.14) were independently associated with poor DFS. All recurrences in Group II occurred within 2 years and were distant metastases. The 1- and 2-year DFS rates were 76.3% and 71.6% in Group II and 88.3% and 79.8% in Group III, respectively (P = 0.067 and 0.247). In subgroup analysis, the 5-year DFS rates tended to be lower in Group II (71.6%) than in Group IIIA (79.7%) and higher than those in Group IIIB (61.4%).Conclusion: VI is a prognostic factor as significant as LNM and may be regarded as a stronger prognostic factor than N1 stage in non-metastatic colon cancer. Furthermore, a potential association was observed between VI and recurrence patterns, such as early recurrence and distant metastasis.

Abstract Background It remains controversial whether splenic hilum lymph nodes (SHLNs) should be excised in radical gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection. In this study, we evaluated the role of clinicopathological features in patients with gastric cancer in predicting splenic hilum lymph nodes metastasis.Methods We searched the Medline, Embase, PubMed and Web of Science databases from inception to May 2020 and consulted related references. 15 articles with a total of 4377 patients were included finally. The odds ratios (ORs) of each risk factor and the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were determined using Revman 5.3 software. Results Meta-analysis showed that tumor size greater than 5 cm (p < 0.01), tumor localization in the greater curvature (p < 0.01), diffuse type (Lauren’s type) (p < 0.01), Borrman type 3–4 (p < 0.01), poor differentiation and undifferentiation (p < 0.01), depth of invasion T3–T4 (p < 0.01), number of lymph node metastases N2–N3 (p < 0.01), distance metastasis M1 (p < 0.01), TNM stage 3–4 (p < 0.01), vascular invasion (p = 0.01), and lymphatic invasion (p < 0.01) were risk factors of SHLNs metastasis. Moreover, No. 1-, 2-, 3-, 4sa-, 4sb-, 4d-, 6-, 7-, 9-, 11-, and 16-positive lymph node metastasis are strongly associated with splenic hilum lymph nodes metastasis.Conclusions Tumor size, tumor location, Lauren’s type, Borrman type, degree of differentiation, T stage, N stage, M stage, TNM stage, vascular invasion, lymphatic infiltration, and other positive lymph nodes metastasis were risk factors for SHLNs.

Abstract Background: Despite the decline in the incidence of gastric cancer, the incidence of early gastric cancer has increased. Hence, understanding the clinicopathological and prognostic features of early gastric cancers could help us understand the development of gastric cancer and improve the prognosis of early gastric cancer. Methods: A total of 244 patients diagnosed with early gastric cancer after surgery at Xiangya Hospital Central South University were retrospectively analyzed. Results: General data showed that in patients with a mean age of 54.30±10.68 years (M:F = 1.6:1), the median tumor size was 2.203±1.245 cm. A total of 15.6% of patients had lymph node metastasis. By univariate analysis, the longest diameter of the tumor, T stage, total number of dissected lymph nodes, number of metastatic lymph nodes, metastatic-to-total dissected lymph node (LN) ratio, vascular invasion, NLRc, and MLRc were associated with disease-free survival; tumor size, invasive depths, vascular invasion, NLRc, MLRc, NWRc and LWRc were associated with lymph node metastasis. Additionally, the longest diameter of tumor and total number of dissected lymph nodes were independent factors for early gastric cancer patients; tumor size, invasive depths, vascular invasion and NLRc were independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis in EGC. Conclusion: The longest diameter of the tumor and total number of dissected LNs were independent prognostic factors for EGC patients. Additionally, the longest diameter of the tumor, tumor invasive depths, vascular invasion and NLRc were the independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis in EGC patients.
