Sentinel Node in Colon Cancer
Sentinel Node in Colon Cancer
More than 20% of patients operated on for colon cancer without node metastasis will develop
 visceral metastases. The purpose of the study is to determine sentinel lymph nodes with two
 methods: blue injection and isotopic detection. Sentinel nodes will then be analyzed by
 immunohistochemy to detect micrometastases. No adjuvant therapy will be proposed to the
 patient if there are only node's micrometastases and survival will be analyzed in regard to
 the presence of these micrometastasis.
