RATIONALE OF THE STUDY
RATIONALE OF THE STUDY Cochrane.org
EnRoute   PROTOCOL HYPOTHESES The  high recurrence rate  in pN0 colon cancer patients (up to 30% in 5 year) is due to  conventional risk factors  (tumor obstruction/perforation, T4, LNN < 10, and/or lymphangioinvasion) and to  currently unknown risk factors (isolated tumor cells/micrometastases)
EnRoute   PROTOCOL HYPOTHESES 2. Ex vivo  SLNM procedure  and  focussed examination  of  sentinel nodes  by using serial sectioning and immunohistochemical methods  detect ITCs/MMs in pN0   colon cancer patients.
EnRoute   PROTOCOL HYPOTHESES 3. The presence of nodal ITC/MMs in pN0 colon cancer patients significantly influences prognosis negatively.
EnRoute   PROTOCOL HYPOTHESES 4. Treatment with adjuvant chemotherapy of pN0micro+ colon cancer patients results in better 3-year disease free and overall survival of stage II colon cancer patients.
