Objective To analyze the staging methods of colorectal cancer data in the current version of the Database from Colorectal Cancer (DACCA).Methods The DACCA version selected for this data analysis was updated at April 16th, 2020. The columns included stage during surgery, comprehensive stage of clinical, pathologic and imaging (cpi comprehensive stage), TNM stage, pathologic T stage, imaging T stage, nerves involvement, pathologic anus stage, clinical anus stage, imaging anus stage, pathologic mesentery stage, clinical mesentery stage, imaging mesentery stage, pathologic N stage, imaging N stage, positive lymph nodes ratio, cancerous nodules, M stage, cancerous emboli, pathologic vessel stage, clinical vessel stage, imaging vessel stage, cancerous contamination, and high-risk factors. Extracted data were statistically analyzed.Results The total number of data medical records (data rows) that met the criteria was 6 474, the valid data of TNM stage was 4 511 (69.7%), the valid data of stage during surgery was 5 684 (87.8%), and the valid data of cpi comprehensive stage was 4 045 (62.5%). 1 540 data (41.6%) were consistent with stage during surgery and TNM stage, and 2 884 data (76.7%) were consistent with cpi comprehensive stage and TNM stage. According to the data of T, N, and M stage, the proportion of patients with pathologic T4a stage was the highest (40.5%), followed by T3 stage (24.8%); the most T4a stage (31.9%) on the image, followed by T4b stage (28.7%). The pathologic N stage with lymph node metastasis was about 41.9% (N1 and N2), and the imaging N stage lymph node metastasis was about 51.4%. There were a total of 4 745 valid data in the M stage (73.3%). There were 4 313 valid data in the nerves involvement (66.7%), suspected involvement and confirmed involvement, were 691 (16.0%) and 253 (5.9%) respectively. The valid data of anal pathology, clinical, and imaging stage were 4 115 (63.6%), 599 (9.3%), and 598 (9.2%), and only 30 (0.7%), 8 (1.3%), and 13 (2.2%) on muscle involvement respectively. The valid data of pathologic, clinical, and imaging mesentery stage were 732 (11.3%), 589 (9.1%), and 592 (9.1%). There were 4 458 (68.9%) valid data of positive lymph nodes ratio, and 2 908 (44.9%) valid data of cancerous nodules. There were 4 286 valid data of cancerous emboli (66.2%). A total of 244 data (41.1%) of increased blood vessels around tumors in the imaging vessel stage, 274 data (46.4%) of that in clinical vessel stage, and only 1 063 (27.7%) of pathologic vessel stage. There were 3 865 valid data (59.7%) of the cancerous contamination, and the proportion of the third level (746/2 753, 27.1%) in the high-risk factors was the highest.Conclusion Through detailed analysis of the DACCA database, it is hoped that a more complete and accurate evaluation system of tumor severity can be established, and high-risk factors can provide some ideas for judging prognosis.
