Carcinoma of the colon: margins of resection
1Department of Surgery A, Hillel Yaffe Medical Center, Hadera, Israel. sternberg_a@hillel-yaffe.health.gov.il
Abstract:
Resection of colonic carcinoma with curative intent must encompass: (1) margins of bowel wall that are wider than the extent of microscopic intramural tumor spread beyond the macroscopic edge of the tumor; (2) lymphatic tissue draining the tumor and possibly containing cancer cells; (3) structures adhering to the tumor and possibly infiltrated by tumor cells. The minimal extent of resection that satisfies these requirements and possible benefits of extending the resection are reviewed.
