Colorectal carcinoma: is lymphadenectomy useful?
Dig Surg.
1998.
Abstract
In order to define the role of lymph node excision in the treatment of colorectal neoplasms, the literature of the past 20 years and the historic publications on this specific subject were reviewed. Special attention was given to statistical relevance, different types of operations, survival and recurrence rates and an attempt was made to decide on the usefulness of lymphadenectomy and which operation is the best to treat colorectal cancer.
