Abstract
Today, a standardized method of staging that is internationally accepted is urgently needed for the management of patients with colorectal cancer. The use of a uniform, sensitive staging system would greatly improve case selection and avoid unnecessary bias when entering patients into adjuvant therapy trials. This would allowa more accurate evaluation of new treatment protocols and assist in the development of more effective follow up programmes.
