Abstract Background The aim of this study was to identify stage II colon cancer patients with a high risk of recurrence. Methods All patients who underwent surgery for stage II colon cancer (CC) were retrospectively enrolled and sub-grouped according to TNM staging (IIa-b-c) and stage IIa in high (I...

Description
Summary:Abstract Background The aim of this study was to identify stage II colon cancer patients with a high risk of recurrence. Methods All patients who underwent surgery for stage II colon cancer (CC) were retrospectively enrolled and sub-grouped according to TNM staging (IIa-b-c) and stage IIa in high (IIaHR) and low risk (IIaLR) according to pathologic features. The primary outcomes measured were the 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Results A total of 214 patients were reviewed. Only a maximum tumor diameter
