Abstract
Abstract
Background
National screening programmes increase the proportion of T1 colorectal cancers. Local excision may be possible, but the risk of lymph node metastases (LNMs) could jeopardize long-term outcomes. The aim of the present study was to review the association between histopathological findings and LNMs in T1 colorectal cancer.
Methods
A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed,Embase, and Cochrane online databases. Studies investigating the association between one or more histopathological factors and LNMs in patients who underwent resection for T1 colorectal cancer were included.
Results
Sixteen observational studies were included in the meta-analysis, including a total of 10 181 patients, of whom 1 307 had LNMs. Lymphovascular invasion (odds ratio (OR) 7.42; P < 0.001), tumour budding (OR 4.00; P < 0.001), depth of submucosal invasion, whether measured as at least 1000 µm (OR 3.53; P < 0.001) or Sm2–3 (OR 2.12; P = 0.020), high tumour grade (OR 3.75; P < 0.001), polypoid growth pattern (OR 1.59; P = 0.040), and rectal location of tumour (OR 1.36; P = 0.003) were associated with LNMs.
Conclusion
Distinct histopathological factors associated with nodal metastases in T1 colorectal cancer can aid selection of patients for local excision or major excisional surgery.
