Association of the Number of Negative Lymph Nodes Removed with Overall Survival and Recurrence Rates in Patients with Colorectal Cancer Following Surgery: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study
Key Points
Overall survival is tied to the number of negative lymph nodes removed during colorectal cancer surgery, enhancing prognosis.
Patients with more negative lymph nodes show better recurrence rates, suggesting lymph node assessment is crucial for outcomes.
Multicenter retrospective cohort analysis reveals significant associations between lymph node removal and survival in colorectal cancer patients.
Findings highlight the importance of lymph node evaluation in surgical strategies for colorectal cancer, emphasizing better personalized care.
