Lymph node metastasis in the pelvic sidewall of patients with rectal cancer is a serious disease that affects the patient's life expectancy. At present, the assessment of lateral lymph node (LLN) metastasis relies mainly on MRI. Currently, there is no consensus on whether small lymph nodes without malignant features detected by MRI affect patient prognosis. Therefore, the authors designed this study to compare the survival of patients with small LLNs detected by MRI with that of patients without LLNs. The authors found that the presence of LLNs, even without malignant features, may lead to worse local control and overall survival. Therefore, for patients with MRI-detected LLNs, LLN dissection should be conducted by experienced surgeons to improve patient prognosis.
