Persistent Problems in Colorectal Cancer Reporting - 14/11/17
Abstract |
Tumor stage, as determined by the Tumor, Node, Metastasis (TNM) staging system, is the single most influential factor determining treatment decisions and outcome among patients with colorectal cancer. Several stage-related elements in pathology reports consistently pose diagnostic challenges: recognition of serosal penetration by tumor (ie, pT3 vs pT4a), evaluation of regional lymph nodes, distinction between tumor deposits and effaced lymph nodes, and assessment of tumor stage in the neoadjuvant setting. This article discusses each of these issues in detail and provides practical tips regarding colorectal cancer staging.
