Optimal Colorectal Cancer Staging Criteria in TNM Classification

Key Points

Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Abstract

The prognostic value of TNM7 is better than that of TNM6; however, improvement over TNM5 is insignificant. By considering all regional NDs as LNM irrespective of their morphology, TNM classification can be simplified and its prognostic value improved.
