Lateral Pelvic Recurrence in Rectal Cancer Is Not Local Recurrence but Lymphatic Metastasis
The identification of different risk factors for lateral and nonlateral recurrence suggests that lateral recurrence is more strongly associated with lymphatic permeation than nonlateral recurrence. These findings highlight the importance of LLN dissection in minimizing the risk of lateral recurrence.
