✦ Synopsis

BACKGROUND.

The benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy appears to be limited for patients with Astler Coller B1/B2 colorectal carcinoma but may be better in a subgroup of patients with a high recurrence risk. In the current case-control analysis, the authors evaluated whether patients with a high risk of hematogenous metastasis could be identified by means of a thorough histologic and immunohistochemical examination of the resection specimens.
