Researcher Profile & Settings

Research

    Overview of research:
    We investigated whether accurate identification of vessel infiltration by tumor cells correlated with the presence of lymph node metastasis and could serve as an indication for the necessity of additional surgical resection in submucosal invasive colorectal cancers .
