Cross‐sectional investigation of the distribution characteristics and prognostic significance of lateral lymph nodes in patients with rectal cancer
This study suggests that LLR is the main locoregional recurrence pattern. Most rectal cancer patients have measurable LLNs on primary CT scan. However, patients with enlarged LLNs <10 mm or LLN risk scoring <2 still have a significantly better prognosis than patients with SDM, which indicated the potential value of locoregional treatment for these LLNs.
