Why is it important?
The risk factors for lymph node skip metastasis (LNSM) has not been thoroughly cleared in patients with advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). The study aim was to identify the risk factors for LNSM in CRC patients who underwent laparoscopic radical resection with D3 lymphadenectomy.
Perspectives
pT1–2 stage, pN1 stage are significantly associated with LNSM. Radical D3 lymphadenectomy should remain standard practice for colorectal cancer.
