Isolated tumor cells in stage I & II colon cancer patients are associated with significantly worse disease-free and overall survival

Conclusions: This study provides compelling evidence that ITC in stage I & II colon cancer patients are associated with significantly worse disease-free and overall survival. Based on these data, the presence of ITC should be classified as a high risk factor in stage I & II colon cancer patients who might benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy.
