Lymph Node Recoveries From 2427 pT3 Colorectal Resection Specimens Spanning 45 Years: Recommendations for a Minimum Number of Recovered Lymph Nodes Based on Predictive Probabilities
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
There is no minimum number of recovered lymph nodes that reliably or accurately stages all patients, suggesting all palpable lymph nodes should be recovered, including those that are 1 or 2 mm.
