Abstract PURPOSE: In colon cancer (CC), nodal involvement is the main prognostic factor following potentially curative (R0) resection. The purpose of this study was to examine data from the literature to provide an up-to-date analysis of the management of nodal disease with special reference to laparoscopic treatment. METHODS: MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched for potentially eligible studies published in English up to July 15, 2014. RESULTS: In CC, nodal involvement is a frequent event and represents the main risk of cancer recurrence. Node negative patients recur in 10-30 % of cases most likely due to underdiagnosed or undertreated nodal disease. Extended colonic resections (complete mesocolic excision with central vascular...
