The recurrence with isolated intra-abdominal lymph node in patients with colorectal cancer: A study of the Turkish Descriptive Oncological Researches Group (intra-abdominal lymph node and colon cancer)

The presence of lymphovascular invasion and mutant-type K-ras status may be poor prognostic risk factors for isolated intra-abdominal lymph node metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer. However, studies involving larger patient series, molecular indicators, and cohorts with metastasis in other areas are been needed to verify this study.
