The systematic review focused on the outcomes of metachronous para-aortic lymphadenectomy in colorectal cancer treatment. Surgical resection of metachronous para-aortic lymph node metastasis (m-palnm) was found to be the preferred management strategy in 64% of patients. Patients who underwent surgical management experienced longer disease-free survival and overall survival rates. However, the evidence available is limited, and further randomized trials are necessary to provide more definitive evidence on the management of m-palnm and its impact on survival.
