Abstract
PURPOSE:The failure of light microscopy to predict individual patient survival accurately in pStage I and II colorectal carcinoma can hinder planning postoperative therapy and follow-up. This study was designed and conducted in two parts to assess the influence of relative sensitivity of theKeywords
