Risk factors associated with recurrence by peritoneal dissemination or paraaortic lymph node metastasis after curative surgery in patients with colorectal cancer

抄録

Isolated paraaortic lymph node metastasis or peritoneal dissemination as first site of recurrence after curative surgery in patients with colorectal cancer is relatively uncommon. Early detection is necessary to allow for treatment of these rare types of recurrences. We conducted a pooled analysis of large three randomized control studies to clarify the risk factors for these recurrences. We hereby report the study concept.
