Summary

Lymph node yield (LNY) in colorectal cancer (CRC) care is acceptable in Australia and improving. Factors like patient gender, age, and tumor characteristics significantly influence the number of lymph nodes retrieved.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Cancer Care Quality

Background:

  • Lymph node yield (LNY) is a critical quality indicator and prognostic factor in colorectal cancer (CRC).
  • Assessing LNY across Australian centers is essential for understanding regional variations and quality of care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the lymph node yield (LNY) in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients across multiple Australian surgical centers.
  • To identify clinico-pathologic factors influencing LNY in CRC.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of prospective colorectal cancer (CRC) databases from 11 Australian centers (1988-2008).
  • Utilized BioGrid Australia's linkage and analysis resources for data evaluation.
  • Examined LNY in relation to various clinico-pathologic patient characteristics.

Main Results:

  • 10,082 CRC cases were analyzed; median LNY was 12 (range 0-174).
  • LNY significantly increased from 8.5 (1988) to 13 (2008) (P < 0.001).
  • Female gender, younger age, right-sided tumors, higher T/N stage, specific surgeries, and no preoperative radiotherapy were linked to higher LNY.

Conclusions:

  • Median LNY in Australia is acceptable and shows significant improvement over recent years.
  • LNY varies across surgical centers but is generally adequate.
  • Numerous clinico-pathologic factors significantly impact the number of lymph nodes retrieved in CRC patients.
