【摘要】 目的 探讨淋巴结转移数目对行手术治疗的结肠癌患者预后的影响。 方法 回顾性分析2005年1月-2007年12月符合筛选标准的148例行手术治疗的结肠癌患者的临床和随访资料，按照淋巴结转移数目进行分组：N0组（0枚）91例、N1组（1～3枚）41例、N2组（≥4枚）16例，采用Kaplan-Meier法进行生存分析，用Log-rank比较3组术后3年生存率，等级资料采用秩和检验，用χ2检验进行两两比较术后3年局部复发率、远处转移率和死亡率情况。 结果 N0、N1、N2 3组的术后3年生存率分别为88.1%、71.4%、61.1%，3组生存率差异有统计学意义（P=0.003）；N0、N1、N2 3组的总体局部复发率、远处转移率和死亡率的差异有统计学意义（P=0.006，0.001，0.005）。 结论 淋巴结转移数目是结肠癌患者术后3年生存情况的危险因素，无淋巴结转移的患者术后3年生存情况明显比有淋巴结转移者好。
【Abstract】 Objective To discuss the impact of the number of lymph node metastasis on the prognosis of patients with colon cancer after surgical operation. Methods The clinical data of 148 patients with colon cancer who underwent surgical operation between January 2005 and December 2007 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the number of lymph node metastasis, the patients were divided into three groups, group N0(the number of lymph metastasis equals to 0), group N1(the number of lymph node metastasis ranges from 1 to 3) and group N2 (the number of lymph node metastasis was equal or greater than 4). And we chose Kaplan-Meier to analyze patients′ survival and Log-rank test was used to compare the 3-year survival index; rank sum test was used to analyze the level data, and then chi-square test was chosen to compare local recurrence rate, metastasis rate and mortality among the three groups. Results The indexes of the 3-year survival in group N0 (91 cases), group N1 (41 cases) and group N2(16 cases) wre 88.1%, 1.4%, and 61.1%, respectively. The differences were significant (P=0.003). Besides, the differences between group N0 and N1, N0 and N2 were both significant (P=0.012,0.002); the differences between group N1 and N2 was not significant (P=0.344). The differences among three groups in local recurrence rate, metastasis rate and mortality were all significant(P=0.006, 0.001, 0.005); the differences between group N0 and N1 in local recurrence rate, metastasis rate and mortality were significant (P=0.008, 0.000, 0.012); the differences between group N0 and N2 in local recurrence rate, metastasis rate and mortality were significant (P=0.021, 0.047, 0.010), while the differences between group N1 and N2 in local recurrence rate, metastasis rate and mortality were not significant (P=1.000,0.585,0.523). Conclusion The number of lymph node metastasis is a dangerous factor to the 3-year survival in patients with colon cancer after operation, and the prongnosis of the 3-year survival in patients without lymph node metastasis is better than that in patients′ with lymph node metastasis.
