High Lymph Node Yield is Related to Microsatellite Instability in Colon Cancer
11 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Lymph node (LN) yield in colon cancer resection specimens is an important indicator of treatment quality and has especially in early-stage patients therapeutic implications. However, underlying disease mechanisms, such as microsatellite instability (MSI), may also influence LN yield, as MSI tumors are known to exhibit more prominent lymphocytic antitumor reactions. The aim of the present study was to...
