Accuracy Goals in Predicting Preoperative Lymph Node Metastasis for T1 Colorectal Cancer Resected Endoscopically
Submucosal invasive (T1) colorectal cancer is a significant clinical management challenge, with an estimated 10% of patients developing extraintestinal lymph node metastasis.This condition necessitates surgical resection along with lymph node dissection to achieve a curative outcome.Thus, the precise preoperative assessment of lymph node metastasis
