The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate among all stage II CRC patients according to lymphovascular invasion (LVI). We found that in all stage II patients, the 5-year OS rate of the LVI− group was greater than the LVI+ group (76.5% vs. 58.6%; P < 0.001, a). The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate among stage II CRC patients according to examined lymph nodes (ELNs). We divided the stage II patients into ELNs < 12 and ELNs ≥ 12 groups. The 5-year OS rate of the ELNs ≥ 12 group (75.2%) was greater than the ELNs < 12 group (68.5%); however, there was no statistical significance (P = 0.237, b)
