Abstract:Objectives
Lymph node metastasis (LNM) in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients is not only associated with the tumor’s local pathological characteristics but also with systemic factors. This study aims to assess the feasibility of using body composition and pathological features to predict LNM in early stage colorectal cancer (eCRC) patients.
Methods
A total of 192 patients with T1 CRC who underwent CT scans and surgical resection were retrospectively … Show more
