摘要：
Background: Adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with stage III (node-positive) colorectal cancer (CRC) reduces mortality by one third. Retrieval of an inadequate number of lymph nodes in the surgical specimen may result in incorrectly designating some patients as stage II (node negative), and consequently, such patients may not be offered appropriate chemotherapy. Recent National Cancer Institute guidelines suggest that a minimum of 12 nodes should be examined to ensure accurate staging.
