Description
Riki Ohno and co-authors look for signs that rectal cancer has spread to side lymph nodes in this 2025 study. Their patients had locally advanced low rectal cancer and had side node removal without treatment before surgery, between 2014 and 2023. Knowing who needs that surgery helps tailor care.
Of 163 patients, 27 had spread to side nodes proven after surgery. A scan rule based on node size was a strong predictor on its own. It was right about nine times in ten, and was very good at ruling spread out. Spread to side nodes also predicted worse relapse-free survival over three years. A scan sign of cancer in vein walls predicted several survival measures.
