- Complete mesocolic excision with central vascular ligation produces an oncologically superior specimen compared with standard surgery for carcinoma of the colon. (2010, background): “The resulting plane of surgery can be graded by the pathologist and has been shown to be independently related to the risk of developing local disease recurrence.(8,9) There are approximately 36,700 new cases of colorectal cancer diagnosed annually in the United Kingdom,(10) and 147,000 in the Unite”

(2011, result): “study, the TME specimen quality was audited, and an incomplete rate of only 5% was observed, which is significantly better than previously published series.(9,23,24) This may explain the observed lack of an effect on outcome by involved lymph nodes influencing pelvic recurrence after preoperative th”
- Low rectal cancer: a call for a change of approach in abdominoperineal resection. (2005, background): “Positive CRMs in T2 tumors are a direct indicator of incomplete resection.(11) In low node-negative tumors, a high percentage of cases showed a positive CRM (16.”
- Diagnostic accuracy of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging in predicting curative resection of rectal cancer: prospective observational study (2006, background): “33 Dedicated workshops achieved high quality pathology results, with multiple blocks, whole mount sections, and a median lymph node harvest of 12 to standardise detailed assessment of the specimens.”
