Background: In non-metastatic deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) colorectal cancer (CRC), traditional prognostic factors, such as pN staging, often fail to distinguish patient outcomes effectively. Methods: This retrospective study included a cohort of 792 dMMR CRC patients who underwent surgical treatment without neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy or immunotherapy. Traditional prognostic factors were compared with lymph node-based models (NLN, LNR, LOODS) for their ability to predict overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Results: The study demonstrated that traditional factors, such as histologic type, differentiation, and vascular invasion, had limited predictive value in dMMR CRC. Furthermore, the pN stage failed to effectively distinguish between pN1 and pN2 for both OS (p = 0.219) and DFS (p = 0.095). Conversely, LOODS demonstrated superior performance over traditional pN staging in predicting both OS and DFS (p < 0.001). A prognostic model combining LOODS with age exhibited superior predictive performance compared with the traditional TN staging system. Conclusions: LOODS was identified as a more effective independent prognostic factor compared with traditional pN staging, enabling more precise stratification of pN+ patients in non-metastatic dMMR CRC, highlighting its potential utility in guiding postoperative treatment and optimizing therapeutic strategies.
