Abstract
The survival of 78 patients with Dukes'' B colorectal carcinoma was evaluated in relation to the presence (36 patients) or absence (42 patients) of tumour cells within lymphatic capillaries. Age-adjusted survival analysis did not reveal a statistically significant difference in survival between these two groups.Keywords
