Sponsored by Walter Reed Army Medical Center · Observational
The objective of this trial is to define the rate of upstaging of colon carcinoma lymph node metastasis with sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping.
Null hypothesis: There is no difference in the rate of lymph node metastasis between conventional histopathological processing of lymph nodes and SLN mapping with detailed pathologic examination using immunohistochemistry (IHC) in patients undergoing resection of colon carcinoma.
1,432 studies on the registry are indexed under Colonic Neoplasms; 357 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 34 is below the median of 280 across 349 observational studies indexed under Colonic Neoplasms.

Up to 150 male or female military healthcare beneficiaries over the age of 18 years presenting at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) General Surgery clinic with the diagnosis of biopsy-proven, primary, non-metastatic (Clinical Stage I,II or III) colon carcinoma will be enrolled. Subjects with colonic masses clinically consistent with colon cancer, and eventually confirmed by pathology, will also be enrolled.
Exclusion Criteria:
Standard histopathological evaluation using conventional paraffin embedding, sectioning and hematoxylin and eosin staining and microscopy without sentinel lymph node ultrastaging
SOC with sentinel lymph node analysis
