Trial summary

The National Quality Forum has endorsed at least 12 lymph node yield (LNY) as a surgical quality indicator in colorectal cancer (CRC), but the prognostic value of adequate lymphadenectomy has rarely been investigated for CRC patients with distant metastatic disease. Read more about this study

About this study

The National Quality Forum has endorsed at least 12 lymph node yield (LNY) as a surgical quality indicator in colorectal cancer (CRC), but the prognostic value of adequate lymphadenectomy has rarely been investigated for CRC patients with distant metastatic disease.

Read the detailed description

Data on CRC patients with synchronous liver metastasis (LM) were derived from the US Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) and a Chinese registry (from two Chinese tertiary centers: The Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University and National Cancer Center/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences \& Peking Union Medical College) between January 2010 and December 2017. Individual level data on patients with incident CRC were consecutively collected in both registries. The primary tumor site was divided into three subsites according to International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O-3) topography codes: proximal colon (C18.0, C18.1, C18.2, C18.3 and C18.4), distal colon (C18.5, C18.6, C18.7) and rectum (C19.9 and C20.9). The synchronous LM were identified by imaging or histopathological examinations. Synchronous LM refers to liver lesions found within 6 months after the diagnosis of primary CRC. Patients were excluded if they did not undergo surgery for CRC, did not have data on number of LNs retrieved and their survival status was unknown.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. cancer specific survival

    The primary outcome was cancer specific survival (CSS), which was defined as the time interval from the synchronous LM diagnosis until cancer specific death or the end of follow-up in Chinese registry, and the CSS was defined using the SEER cause-of-death codes in SEER registry

    Measured: 2010.01-2017.12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Cancer Stage IV and Lymph Node Yield, run by The Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

cancer specific survival (time frame: 2010.01-2017.12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05550701, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Dec 2022.
