- Abstract
The tumor-node-metastasis system for staging rectal cancer is based on invasion, number of involved nodes, and metastasis. Nodes are classified as N1 or N2 according to the number involved with metastases. Nodal positivity defines stage III regardless of depth of invasion or number of positive nodes. Our purpose was to analyze overall survival when node-positive patients were stratified into three new subsets.
