Description

Highlights: • Metastatic colorectal cancer patients were screened for enlarged lymph nodes (LN). • LN were evaluated in standard baseline computed tomographies. • Enlarged LN correlate with established negative prognostic parameters. • Enlarged LN are associated with a reduced overall survival. • Enlarged LN influence prognosis beyond established prognostic parameters. - Abstract: PurposeTo determine the prognostic impact of radiologically enlarged lymph nodes ≥ 10 mm on the survival of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
