Abstract

LVI and PNI are associated with advanced CRC. PNI is an independent poor prognostic marker for survival in CRC. LVI and PNI are associated with LN involvement in T1 and T2 tumors. Documentation of LVI and PNI status on biopsy specimens may help in prognostication and decision-making in the management of these early tumors.
