Prospective Phase II Trial on Prophylactic Perihepatic Lymphadenectomy in Patients With Colorectal Cancer With Liver Metastasis
Lymph node status is a definite prognostic factor in oncologic surgery and significantly
affects long-term survival, as reported by the tumor staging system of the International
Union Against Cancer (IUCC), which is the most widespread classification of malignant tumors
worldwide. Regional lymphadenectomy is already the standard procedure that completes hepatic
resection in the case of carcinoma arising from the extrahepatic bile duct. However, the
indication, extent, and role of lymph node excision are still a matter of discussion, and no
clear guidelines exist in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis.
