Abstract:Background
There are few methods related to predicting lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with clinically staged T1 or T2 colon cancer. In this study, we aimed to discover independent risk factors for patients with pathologic T-stage 1 (pT1) or pT2 colon cancer with LNM and to develop a nomogram for predicting the probability of LNM for patients with clinically staged T1 or T2 colon cancer.
Methods
All data were drawn from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Re… Show more
