Lymph node yield after rectal resection in patients treated with neoadjuvant radiation for rectal cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis
- Abstract:
-
Background The lymph node status represents a major prognostic factor in colorectal cancer. However, it was demonstrated that neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) decreases the numbers of lymph nodes in the specimen. Several studies describe less than 12 lymph nodes in the resected specimen of rectal cancer patients after neoadjuvant radiation.
