"Disease-free survival after complete mesocolic excision compared with conventional colon cancer surgery: a retrospective, population-based study"

"Interpretation

Our data indicate that CME surgery is associated with better disease-free survival than is conventional colon cancer resection for patients with stage I–III colon adenocarcinoma. Implementation of CME surgery might improve outcomes for patients with colon cancer."
