In this analysis of high-risk stage II colon cancer patients, significant prognostic factors for disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were determined. Gender, tumor invasion depth, extent of lymph node dissection, number of examined lymph nodes, and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (POAC) were found to be independent predictors of DFS. Similarly, age, gender, tumor invasion depth, perforation/penetration, extent of lymph node dissection, number of examined lymph nodes, and POAC were significant factors for OS. The study emphasizes the importance of these factors in stage II colon cancer prognosis and treatment decisions.
