Popis: BackgroundThe recent staging manual upstages Node-negative tumor-deposit positive colorectal cancer (CRC) from N0 to N1c category, while the development of tumor-deposit presence is poorly understood. Meanwhile, Kras mutation is associated with progression of CRC, but its link to tumor-deposit status is unclear.MethodThis retrospective cohort study included the patients with incidental CRC diagnosed during 2010-2014 in the National Cancer Database and recorded statuses of Kras and tumor deposit. We conducted multivariable logistic regression and Cox regression analyses to investigate the factors associated with tumor-deposit status and overall-survival, respectively.ResultsA total of 48,200 CRC patients with Kras status were included in the study (25,407 [52.7%] men, 25,648[46.8%] ConclusionKras mutation is independently associated with tumor-deposit presence, and a worse overall survival of CRC with or without tumor-deposit. Therefore, it may play a role in the development of tumor deposits and serve as a target for CRC treatment.
