Total mesorectal excision is a standard technique for rectal cancer. The whole-mount section can encompass the entire specimen, so it is a more appropriate for measuring circumferential margin than conventional section. We analyzed the clinical characteristics and prognosis based on lateral margins measured by whole-mount sections.
Medical records of patients who were operated on for T3 rectal cancer from 2005 to 2015 were reviewed retrospectively. A total of 154 patients were included. The slides of the whole-mount sections were re-reviewed by a single pathologist.
We divided the groups according to the length of the lateral margin (LM: 1mm, 1.5mm and 2mm). There was significantly frequent lymphovascular invasion and N state was higher when LM was short in all groups. There were more micrometastasis in group LM.
全直肠系膜切除术是直肠癌的标准技术。整装切片可涵盖整个标本,因此比传统切片更适合测量环周切缘。我们基于整装切片测量的侧方切缘分析了临床特征和预后。
回顾性分析2005年至2015年接受T3期直肠癌手术患者的病历。共纳入154例患者。由一名病理学家对整装切片的玻片进行重新评估。
我们根据侧方切缘长度(LM:1mm、1.5mm和2mm)对各组进行划分。在所有组中,当侧方切缘较短时,淋巴管侵犯明显更频繁,N分期更高。侧方切缘组有更多微转移。
