A 6 microRNA Tool for Stratifying Stage II Colon Cancer of Receiving Adjuvant Chemotherapy

Investigators randomly assign patients to be assessed by a 6 microRNA stratified tool. MicroRNA(miRNA) tool contains miRNA of miR-21、miR-20a-5p、miR-103a-3p、miR-106b-5p、miR-143-5p and miR-215. Investigators evaluate these miRNA status of surgical specimens using qRT-PCR and calculate their risk score(risk score =(0.108×status of miRNA-21-5p)+(0.086×status of miRNA-20a-5p)+(0.240×status of miRNA-103a-3p)+(0.095×status of miRNA-106b-5p)-(0.238×status of miRNA-143-5p)-(0.237×status of miRNA-215),low expression status equals 0 and high expression status equals 1). Investigators defined high risk patient if their score larger than 1, the others as low risk patient.The high risk group should receive adjuvant chemotherapy while the low risk group deserve observation.

Investigators randomly assign patients to be assessed by by classical pathological features. Pathological features include poorly differentiated histology(exclusive of those cancers that are MSI-H),lymphatic/vascular invasion,bowel obstruction and \<12 lymph nodes examined. Investigators defined high risk patient if they had any pathological features, the others as low risk patient. The high risk group should receive adjuvant chemotherapy while the low risk group deserve observation.
