About this study

The objective of this observational study was to investigate the clinical significance of benign mesenteric lymph node (BLNE) enlargement in patients with colorectal cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Do patients with benign mesenteric lymph node enlargement have a better prognosis? What are the clinical characteristics of benign mesenteric lymph node enlargement? As part of routine medical care for colorectal cancer, we will follow up with all participants over the course of the study.

Read the detailed description

From January 2015 to June 2023, 2,270 patients with colorectal cancer received surgical treatment at Peking University Third Hospital. The clinical data of these patients were recorded retrospectively and the eligible patients were divided into two groups. According to the 9th edition of the TNM staging System published by the AJCC, the BLNE group included the mesenteric BLNE group, while the non-benign lymph node enlargement (NBLNE) group was the control group. Inclusion criteria were :1) No regional lymph node metastasis or distant metastasis; 2) Stage I and II patients with AJCC staging system; 3) Radical CRC resection reached R0 status, no positive lymph nodes; Colonoscopy confirmed a single malignant lesion. Exclusion criteria :1) emergency surgery or preoperative complications such as intestinal obstruction and perforation; 2) Positron emission tomography (PET-CT) suspected distant metastasis; 3) Preoperative neoadjuvant therapy; 4) Hereditary colorectal cancer such as familial adenomatous polyposis; Microsatellite instability (MSI) was confirmed by pathology. In early colorectal cancer, MSI-H status is associated with a favorable prognosis and enhanced anti-tumor immune response. Therefore, we excluded these patients to avoid their influence on prognosis. 6) Lack of imaging data; 7) Loss of follow-up.

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease-free survival of participants

    From the time participants started undergoing radical surgery until their tumors returned or they died from tumor causes. The unit is month.

    Measured: The time from the participants' first postoperative day to their last follow-up.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall survival of the participants

    The time from the time participants began undergoing radical surgery until they died from any cause. Unit is month.

    Measured: The time from the participants' first postoperative day to their last follow-up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Neoplasms Malignant, run by Peking University Third Hospital.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 14 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Disease-free survival of participants (time frame: The time from the participants' first postoperative day to their last follow-up.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 14 May 2024.
