Article Synopsis
  • The study compared survival outcomes of partial colectomy (PC) and hemicolectomy (HC) in 18,795 patients with stage II colon cancer, using data from the SEER database between 2010 and 2019.
  • Results indicated that patients who underwent partial colectomy had a higher overall survival rate (74.5%) compared to those who had hemicolectomy (69.9%), although cancer-specific survival rates were similar (87.9% vs. 88.1%).
  • After adjusting for differences using propensity score matching, significant survival benefits were noted for partial colectomy, especially when at least 16 lymph nodes were harvested.
