Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To identify colon cancer patients with occult lymph node metastases. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: The prognostic value of regional lymph node (LN) metastases in colorectal cancer patients is well established. The disease recurrences nevertheless experienced by 20% to 30% of the LN negative patients suggest a potential for improvement in current LN diagnostics. We suspect that a subgroup of the patients...
