The diagnosis and oncological outcomes of obturator and internal iliac lymph node metastasis in middle–low rectal cancer: results of a multicenter Lateral Node Collaborative Group study in China
The obturator and internal iliac nodes may be two completely different types of LLNs, and the optimal cutoff value for predicting pathological LLN metastasis is inconsistent regardless of nCRT. Clinical trial registration The protocol of the current study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04850027), and the protocols were in accordance with the standards set by the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki.
