Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) has currently emerged as common liver disorder compared to alcoholic liver disease. Available treatments are associated with certain side-effects.

The presence of tumor deposits (TDs), number of harvested lymph nodes (LNs), LN metastasis, and LN ratio (LNR) are well-known prognostic factors in colorectal carcinoma. The relationship between clinicopathologic parameters and the presence of TDs, number of harvested LNs, LN metastasis, and LNR was investigated in 278 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for colorectal adenocarcinoma.
