Key Words Colon cancer; Lymph nodes; Clinical staging; Computed tomography; Neoadjuvant therapy
Core Tip Clinical staging to determine eligibility for neoadjuvant trials requires accurate imaging. This study compares lymph node identification on preopera?tive computed tomography (CT) scans by outside radiologists, a tertiary cancer center radiologist and a surgeon, mirroring referral patterns to tertiary care facilities. While re-review of CT scans by a tertiary center radiologist improved sensitivity of lymph node detection, CT staging of colon cancer demonstrated moderate accuracy overall. Our findings suggest that the administration of neoadjuvant chemotherapy based on preoperative CT staging would potentially result in overtreatment of colon cancer patients.
