Multicenter study shows CT features affect pathological stage in colon cancer, indicating limited reliability for treatment decisions.

Interpretation should therefore focus on features with proven reproducibility, namely tumor length and largest node diameter, applied within standardized protocols, and integrated with the broader clinical and pathological context.
