the ratio between negative and positive lymph nodestumor‐RNP‐metastasis stageThe aim of this study was to explore whether the ratio between negative and positive lymph nodes (RNP) could predict the overall survival (OS) of esophageal cancer (EC) patients with lymph node metastasis following ...
To assess the prognostic value of lymph node ratio (LNR) in patients with stage IV thyroid cancer based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. A total of 4,940 eligible patients were included for the analysis. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional haz...
We examine prognostic role of nodal indices in breast cancer patients.Ratio-based nodal indices are better than traditional number of positive lymph nodes.Lymph node ratio is best when sufficient number of lymph nodes is harvested.Log odds index shows superior prediction if limited lymph nodes harves...
(2007) Lymph node ratio is more valuable than level III involvement for prediction of outcome in node-positive breast carcinoma patients. World J Surg 31: 276–289 The optimum extent of axillary dissection in breast carcinoma is controversial. In addition, it is unclear which characteristics of ...
Impact of number of positive lymph nodes and lymph node ratio on survival of women with node-positive breast cancer. Eur J Breast Heal. 2019;15(2):76. doi:10.5152/EJBH.2019.4414 (Open in a new window)PubMed (Open in a new window)Web of Science ®(Open in a new window)Google ...
Briefly, significant differences were noted between patients treated during era I and era II with respect to patient age, primary tumor Breslow depth, ulceration, number of lymph node metastases, and type of primary surgery (all P < 0.001). Of note, data regarding Breslow depth were unknown ...
END was defined as any case with four or more lymph nodes examined by a pathologist19. Statistical analysis The total population was randomly divided into training and test groups with a ratio of 1:1. In the training group, the primary outcome variables were disease-specific survival (DSS) ...
Increasing positive-lymph-node ratio and absolute number of positive lymph nodes were associated with decreased survival, regardless of disease stage and extent of lymph- adenectomy. Patients with positive-lymph-node ratios of ≤10%, >10–50% and >50% had 5-year disease-specific survival rates...
