Abstract
There is a need to identify a subgroup of high-risk patients with node-negative colorectal cancer who have a poor long-term prognosis and may benefit from adjuvant therapies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic impact of clinical and pathological parameters in a retrospective study from a prospective, continuous database of homogenously treated patients.Keywords
