Abstract:

Aim. To evaluate the results of D3 lymphadenectomy in patients with diagnosed colon cancer. Materials and methods. From July 2017 to July 2018, in the Department of Abdominal Oncology of the P.A. Herzen Moscow Research Oncologic Institute, as a part of International multi-center randomized trial «Study of Oncological Outcomes of D3 Lymph Node Dissection in Colon Cancer» («COLD trial»), 26 surgical procedures in patients with verified malignant neoplasms of colon were performed: In twelve patients, D2 lymph node dissection was carried out, in fourteen patients — D3 lymphadenectomy. Results. An analysis of two groups of patients (D2- and D3-lymph node dissection) revealed no significant differences during the early postoperative period and the first 30 days from the time of surgery. Conclusion. The data obtained shows, that D3 lymphadenectomy is a safe method for the surgical treatment of colon cancer, it does not increase the incidence and severity of early postoperative complications and does not worsen the quality of life of patients.
