列线图预测结直肠癌淋巴结转移的研究进展

Research progresses of nomogram in predicting lymph node metastasis of colorectal cancer

  • 摘要: 淋巴结转移(LNM)会影响结直肠癌(CRC)患者治疗方式的选择及预后, 而如何更准确地预测淋巴结状态是CRC领域的一大难题。列线图作为一种可视化预测模型,近年来已被广泛应用于结直肠癌淋巴结转移(CRC-LNM)预测领域。基于临床特征、影像组学、基因组学或转录组学的列线图术前识别LNM的能力均显著优于传统临床TNM分期,可为医护人员更准确地识别LNM高危人群并制订个性化治疗策略提供依据。非侵入性的血液检测能实现术前无创、便捷、廉价地获取肿瘤循环生物标志物,而将这些标志物整合进列线图用于LNM预测具有极好的研究前景。此外,联合临床、影像及循环标志物的交叉学科研究有助于进一步提升列线图的预测性能,值得进一步探究。

     

    Abstract: Lymph node metastasis (LNM) affects the choice of treatment and prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), and how to predict lymph node status more accurately is a major challenge in the field of CRC. As a visual prediction model, nomogram has been widely studied in the field of lymph node metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC-LNM) prediction in recent years. Nomogram based on clinical features, radiology, genomic or transcriptomic features is significantly better than traditional TNM staging in identifying LNM preoperatively, which provides a basis for healthcare professionals to more accurately identify LNM high-risk groups and develop personalized treatment strategies. Non-invasive blood tests can obtain non-invasive, convenient, and inexpensive preoperative acquisition of circulating tumor biomarkers, and the construction of nomograms and prediction of LNM is promising. The interdisciplinary study combining clinical, radiology, and circulating markers can help further improve the predictive performance of nomograms and deserves further investigation.
