ABSTRACT
Objective:
To analyze the effect of body mass index (BMI) on the number of lymph nodes (LNs) harvested in patients who underwent colorectal cancer resection.Methods:
A retrospective analysis of 328 patients with colorectal cancer who were treated at Fujian Provincial Hospital between December 2014 and January 2017 was conducted. All patients underwent colorectal cancer resec-tion and were assigned into 2 groups<12-LN group and≥12-LN group. Potential clinicopathological variables that might influence the number of LNs harvested were statistically analyzed.Results:
Univariate analyses demonstrated that BMI (χ2=7.697, P=0.006), tumor location (χ2=7.900, P=0.048), and TNM stage (χ2=34.795, P<0.01) affected the number of LNs harvested. Logistic regression analysis re-vealed that BMI of≥25 kg/m2 and rectosigmoid location were associated with 2.557-and 1.731-fold increases in the number of LNs harvested, compared with BMI<25 kg/m2 group and other tumor locations, respectively.Conclusions:
Higher BMI may decrease the number of LNs harvested in patients who underwent colorectal cancer resection and could affect the postoperative pathological stage. K
