Purpose: To stratify stage IIB (pT4a PN0) colorectal cancer in terms of histopathologic findings.
Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 80 patients who underwent surgery for stage IIB colorectal cancer. The disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were evaluated and correlated with the presence or absence of "Tumor Necrosis", "Crohn's-like lymphoid reaction", and "Perineural Invasion".
