Lateral Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection for low locally advanced rectal cancer: a review

Lateral pelvic lymph node dissection for advanced low rectal cancer has generated much discussion in the literature in last few years. Whilst it is still being debated as to whether it constitutes a locoregional disease amenable to surgery, or whether it is a distant metastases requiring neoadjuvant...
