Excerpt

Bennett et al. have done a commendable job in analyzing the impact of perihepatic lymph node metastases following partial hepatectomy for colorectal metastases.1 The conclusion that involvement of perihepatic lymph nodes would adversely affect outcome is not surprising. What is remarkable is that, despite their involvement, the 3-year overall survival was 76% for the immunohistochemistry (IHC)-positive group and 25% for the hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-positive group. This is a fairly good result and it opens the discussion about the biological behavior of the perihepatic lymph node metastasis in the presence of liver metastasis. …
