About this trial
In left-sided colon and rectal cancer, the occurrence of synchronous para-aortic lymph node metastasis is rare, with the incidence of being approximate 1-2%. Currently, there has been no standard treatment strategy for this situation. The present trial is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of para-aortic lymph node dissection for left-sided colon and rectal cancer with synchronous para-aortic lymph node metastasis
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
age at enrollment is ≥ 18 and ≤ 75 years
ECOG PS 0-1
histologically confirmed left-sided colon and rectal carcinoma
synchronous para-aortic lymph node metastases confirmed by PET-CT, and located below the level of renal veins and above the bifurcation of iliac artery
Disqualifiers
local invasion or distant metastasis other than para-aoritc lymph nodes
history of other malignant tumor
coupled with severe systematic diseases (recent myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, or acute pulmonary infection)
emergency surgery
Trial design
Sequential
Treatments tested in this trial
Radical surgery with PALND
Procedure/Surgerysufficient resection margins of the tumor, D3 dissection of the regional lymph nodes and para-aortic lymph node dissection from the bifurcation of iliac artery to the left renal vein via laparoscopic approach
Radical surgery without PALND
Procedure/Surgerysurgery includes sufficient resection margins of the tumor and D3 dissection of the regional lymph nodes without PALND
