Popis:	Background: Recent data suggest that a higher number of nodes evaluated in colectomy specimens for colorectal adenocarcinoma is associated with increased survival. Recommendations mandate the harvesting of at least 12 nodes in colectomy specimens for adequate assessment. Recent studies argue that the above association is complex and is uncontrolled for a variety of variables. Objective: The study's objective is to evaluate several factors that impact the harvesting of lymph nodes in colectomy
