Optimal Extent of Lymph Node Dissection for Non‐Metastatic Colon Cancer by Tumor Location: Evaluation of the Therapeutic Value Index for Each Lymph Node Station
Considering that a previous systematic review reported TVIs in the range of 0.295-0.576 for the para-aortic lymph nodes in patients with colorectal cancer, dissection of the main lymph nodes along the feeding artery has a therapeutic value in non-metastatic colon cancers. Meanwhile, the significance of #253 dissection for descending colon cancer requires further discussion.
