Abstract
Laparoscopic surgery is increasingly used for the treatment of colon cancer, but its use for rectal cancer is more controversial. Two recent, large, multicenter randomized clinical trials1,2 support laparoscopic surgery, and 2 other major trials3,4 report evidence that does not allow a designation of noninferior as compared with open surgery.Keywords
