Lymph node yield and tumour subsite are associated with survival in stage I–III colon cancer: results from a national cohort study

摘要

BackgroundIt has been suggested that apart from tumour and nodal status, a range of patient-related and histopathological factors including lymph node yield and tumour location seems to have prognostic implications in stage I–III colon cancer. We analysed the prognostic implication of lymph node yield and tumour subsite in stage I–III colon cancer.
