Lateral pelvic lymph node dissection based on nodal response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in mid/low rectal cancer: a retrospective comparative cohort study
Selective LPND based on post-nCRT LPN size ≤5 mm and the absence of morphologic predictors of metastasis may serve as a feasible option for managing mid/low rectal cancer with enlarged LPNs, thereby optimizing local control and reducing unnecessary surgeries.
