Radical surgery with PALNDRadical surgery without PALND
Radical surgery with PALND: sufficient resection margins of the tumor, D3 dissection of the regional lymph nodes and para-aortic lymph node dissection from the bifurcation of iliac artery to the left renal vein via laparoscopic approach
Radical surgery without PALND: surgery includes sufficient resection margins of the tumor and D3 dissection of the regional lymph nodes without PALND
Study summary
In left-sided colon and rectal cancer, the occurrence of synchronous para-aortic lymph node metastasis is rare, with the incidence of being approximate 1-2%. Currently, there has been no standard treatment strategy for this situation. The present trial is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of para-aortic lymph node dissection for left-sided colon and rectal cancer with synchronous para-aortic lymph node metastasis
