Core Tip
Core Tip: In this recently published manuscript, Yadav emphasized the complementary role of D3 lymphadenectomy, which enhances lymphatic drainage clearance, aligning with the goal of complete mesocolic excision (CME) to achieve R0 resection. The authors advocated for the global standardization of CME and its integration into surgical training to ensure equitable access and improved outcomes in patients with colon cancer. This underscores the role of CME as a cornerstone of modern oncological surgery, which is essential for achieving excellent colorectal cancer treatment.
