BackgroundLymphadenectomy is performed to assess patient prognosis and to prevent metastasizing. Recently, it was questioned whether lymph node metastases were capable of metastasizing and therefore, if lymphadenectomy was still adequate. We evaluated whether the nodal status impacts on the occurrence of distant metastases by analyzing a highly selected cohort of colon cancer patients.Methods1,395 patients underwent surgery exclusively for colon cancer at the University of Lübeck between 01…

It is suggested that multidisciplinary management is a potentially effective treatment strategy for isolated LNM and since time to LNM, the T-stage, and histological type are prognostic factors, an active follow-up program for colorectal cancer is required.

Results of meta-analyses conclude that frequent follow-up does not lead to early detection of recurrence, but improves overall survival, and further research is urgently needed to verify which of the well-known parameters as well as new parameters that must be added to the current follow- up programs to identify patients at risk ofRecurrence.

Extended lymphadenectomy is oncologically relevant only when it is combined with removal of the primary tumor with adequate longitudinal clearance, an intact complete mesocolon, and high vascular tie.
Extended Lymphadenectomy in Colon Cancer Is Debatable

It is proposed that in light of the available published evidence, the role of radical lymphadenectomy is currently unproven, with large randomized clinical trials required in the future to determine whether there is a survival benefit for colon cancer patients.

Distant recurrence risks at higher age definitely warrant consideration of adjuvant chemotherapy for elderly stage III colon cancer patients, and this decision should be based on a multidisciplinary and functional assessment of the patient, not on age.

Specific time relations support the hypothesis that all metastases were initiated before diagnosis of the primary tumour, and this hypothetic model has a high explanatory potential, also for evidence of the missing survival benefit from radical lymph node dissection.
