Clinical and ultrasound features correlated with a heavy axillary nodal tumor burden in colon cancer.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the pathologic and ultrasound (US) characteristics of colon cancer and the heavy axillary nodal burden. Methods: In total, 631 patients diagnosed with invasive colon cancer were recruited with ethical ratification. Results: The unitary pathologic features correlated with heavy axillary lymph nodal burden included the age of patient (p = 0.035), tumor size (p = 0.001), lymph node metastasis (p = 0.001), lymphovascular invasion (p = 0.020) and pathology type (p = 0.012). The independent US characteristics correlated with heavy axillary nodal burden included posterior acoustic enhancement (p = 0.006). Heavy axillary nodal burden was correlated with tumor size, lymph node metastasis, lymphovascular invasion and pathology type. Conclusion: Tumor size, lymph node metastasis and posterior acoustic can be used to predict the axillary lymph node tumor burden.
