Objective To evaluate the impact of pathologic parameters and lymphatic mierometastasis on 5-year disease-frtee survival in patients with stages Ⅰ and Ⅱ colorectal cancer.Methods Surgical operation was performed in 126 patients with stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ colorectal cancer.Sixteen (range,10-28)lymph nodes were harvested in each specimen and immunohistochemical staning was performed. Theimpact of pathologic parameters and lymphatic micrometastases in survival was estimated by KaplanMeier.Results The mean follow up time was 64.11 (range,64-106) months. Multivariate analysisrevealed that lymphatic vessel invasion and depth of tumor invasion were correlated with positive CEA in lymph node,and unrelated with clinical pathologic factors.There was no significant difference between pathologic parameters and five year disease-free survival rates. The five-year diseasse-free survival rates was 75.4 percent in CEA negative patients,68.2 percent in patients with isolated tumor cells,and 46.2 percent in patients positive for micrometastasis.There was no significant difference in 5 year disease-free survival between CEA negative patients and patients with isolated tumor cells (P=0.245).However,the5-year disease-free survival was lower in patients positive for micrometastases compared to CEA negativepatients (P=0.003).Conclusions The presence of micrometastases in patients with stages Ⅰ and Ⅱ colorectal cancer may result in poor prognosis and high recurrence,and adjuvant chemotherapy will bejustified and effective.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic impact of a wide spectrum of pathologic parameters in a consecutive series of homogenously treated and well-characterized patients with stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ colorectal cancer, and to investigate the prognostic value of lymph node occult disease (micrometastasis) in disease-free survival rate detected by immunohistochemistry with epithelial membrane antigen and carcinoembryonic antigen. Methods The study included 126 patients operated on by a single surgeon for stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ colorectal tumors. The postoperative follow-up was performed for 64 to 106 months. At least 10 lymph nodes were harvested and examined in all the specimens. The prognostic value of 10 pathologic parameters, including lymph node occult disease (micrometastasis) detected by immunohistochemistry was investigated. Results Multivariate analysis identified lymphatic vessel invasion (absent or present;P=0.009) in lymph node positive and negative by immunohistochemistry. The five-year disease-free survival rates were 78.7%, 65.5% and 43.8% for the lymph node negative, isolated tumor cells and micrometastasis groups, respectively. There was significant difference between the lymph node negative and micrometastasis groups (P=0.005). However, the difference between the lymph node negative and isolated tumor cells groups was not statistically significant (P=0.144). Conclusions We propose that for patients found micrometastasis in lymph node with high-risk stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ colorectal cancer, adjuvant therapies are justified and effective.
