    Current colorectal cancer guidelines emphasize lymph node metastasis for adjuvant treatment but overlook occult tumor cells.

  • 2

    Occult tumor cells, defined as micrometastases and isolated tumor cells, may influence treatment decisions and prognosis.

  • 3

    The study aims to re-stratify stage I–III right-sided colon cancer patients based on occult tumor cells and lymph node metastases.

  • 4

    More extensive surgical dissection, including complete mesocolic excision, may improve disease-free survival in colon cancer patients.

  • 5

    Histopathological examination of lymph nodes is crucial for accurate cancer staging and potential upstaging in treatment planning.
