引言

在美国，每年约诊断出96,830例新发结肠癌[1]。手术切除是针对局部区域性结肠癌的唯一可治愈疗法。患者结局与其就诊时病灶的范围最密切相关(表 1)。1991-2000年报告至美国监测、流行病学和最终结局(Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results, SEER)数据库的119,363例结肠癌患者中，根据诊断时的肿瘤分期[采用旧版2002年美国癌症联合会(American Joint Committee on Cancer, AJCC)的分期标准[2]]，相应的5年生存率如下[3]：

●Ⅰ期(T1-2N0)–93%

●ⅡA期(T3N0)–85%

●ⅡB期(T4N0)–72%

●ⅢA期(T1-2 N1)–83%
