Abstract:Objective To investigate the characteristics of multislice spiral CT (MSCT) parameters of tumor deposition in colon cancer and its correlation with the prognosis of patients.Methods From February 2017 to December 2019, 102 patients with colon cancer confirmed by pathological examination in Our Hospital were selected for clinical study. Among them, 66 patients found 84 tumor deposition near colon cancer, and 55 patients found 67 tumor lymph nodes metastasis by pathological examination. All patients received multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) examination before surgery, and the MSCT parameters and imaging characteristics of tumor deposition and metastatic lymph nodes were compared; the patients were divided into death group and survival group according to the 3-year follow-up results. The relationship between tumor deposition and the prognosis of patients was analyzed by single factor and multi factor methods.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the diameter of tumor deposition nodules between colon cancer patients and metastatic lymph nodes (P > 0.05); the proportion of blurred appearance, hairpin sign, and internal necrosis of tumor deposition nodules was higher than that of metastatic lymph nodes in the metastatic lymph node group (P < 0.05); the aspect ratio of tumor deposition nodules in colon cancer patients was smaller than that of metastatic lymph nodes (P < 0.05); the plain scan CT values, arterial phase enhanced CT values, and venous phase enhanced CT values of tumor deposition nodules in colon cancer patients were higher than those of metastatic lymph nodes (P < 0.05); the results of the Logistic regression model showed that the poorly differentiated state of the tumor [O^R = 1.642 (95% CI: 1.024, 2.634) ], the occurrence of lymph node metastasis [O^R = 1.652 (95%CI: 1.063, 2.568) ], and the presence of tumor adjacent deposits [O^R = 1.745 (95% CI: 1.090, 2.794) ] were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in colon cancer patients (P < 0.05).Conclusion According to the imaging characteristics and scanning parameters of MSCT, it is of great value in clinical differentiation of tumor deposits and metastatic lymph nodes adjacent to colon cancer. Tumor deposits adjacent to colon cancer have a certain relationship with the poor prognosis of patients.
