CEACAM5 and metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes: In multivariate analysis, tumour location (right-hemi colon vs. left-hemi colon, odds ratio (OR) = 2.90, p = .036), the hypoattenuation-within-tumour ratio (HR) (HR > 2/3 vs. HR < 1/3, OR = 36.7, p < .001; HR 1/3–2/3 vs. HR < 1/3, OR = 6.05, p = .031), the number of lymph nodes with long diameter ≥ 8 mm on CECT (OR = 1.32, p = .01), CEA status (CEA positive vs. CEA negative, OR = 0.07, p = .002) and lymph node metastasis (OR = 0.45, p = .008) were independent risk factors for dMMR.
