A member asked:

Can a aortocaval node be cured / treated which has metastases it's 10 mm in size in a colon cancer pt where primary is removed

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: In removing what is considered a solitary metastatic focus and in particular a lymph node, one must make sure the lesion is solitary. A PET/CAT scan will resolve this issue and if solitary should be removed by surgical resection. If other sites noted then chemo followed by surgery should be performed.
