Abstract

The formation of tumor nodules is related to lymph node metastasis,neural invasion and vas-cular invasion.Tumor nodule is a negative prognostic factor in colorectal cancer patients,which increases the probability of recurrence and metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer.The prognostic value of tumor nodules in the lymph node metastasis is greater than the seventh edition of tumor nodules staging method,which provides a more accurate basis for the clinical treatment.
