The number of lymph nodes evaluated during surgery appears to be inadequate in most patients treated for colon cancer. The number of nodes examined may be a measure of quality for colon cancer care. To investigate the association between lymph node evaluation and survival among colon cancer patients, Chang et al. (p. 433) performed a systematic review of 17 studies that included more than 60,000 patients.
