This study aims to evaluate the tumor deposits in colorectal cancer and its prognostic value in survival and metastasis
Tumor deposits (TDs) are defined as isolated tumor foci found in the pericolonic or perirectal fat or the adjacent mesentery (mesocolonic fat) away from the invasive margin of the tumor without evidence of residual lymphatic tissue. TDs are significantly correlated with poor prognosis after colorectal cancer surgery.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
30
Patients with colorectal cancer underwent therapeutic resection with pathologically positive tumor deposits (TDs) to determine distant metastasis occurrence and the effect of TDs on survival.

RECRUITINGPatients' overall survival
Patients' overall survival (OS) is defined as from colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosis to death.
Time frame: 2 years postoperatively
Distant metastasis
Distant metastasis is defined as the presence of liver, lung, bone, or brain metastases during or after colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosis.
Time frame: 2 years postoperatively
