The recurrence rate after curative resection for node-negative T1 colorectal cancer was very low. The effectiveness of surveillance to detect recurrence after curative resection for T1 colorectal cancer should be validated in further studies.
Increased expression of sLe(x) could be involved in establishment of colorectal cancer metastasis. It appears that examining sLe(x) expression may serve as a potent marker of the recurrence in patients with colorectal cancer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
