e16119#Background:Traditional lymph node stage (N stage) has limitations in advanced gastric remnant cancer (GRC)patients; therefore, establishing a new predictive stage is necessary.To explore the predictive value of positive lymph node ratio (LNR) according to clinicopathological characteristics and ...
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...
Therefore, a new node staging system is needed to more accurately evaluate the prognosis of patients. New staging systems for lymph nodes, such as the lymph node ratio (LNR), LODDS, negative examined lymph node (NLN) number, and lymph node micro-metastases, can better predict the prognosis ...
The lymph node ratio (LNR) was calculated as the number of metastatic lymph nodes divided by the total number of lymph nodes removed. Statistical significance was set at p≤0.05. Results Patient characteristics The demographic features and surgical and clinicopathological characteristics of the 222 ...
Thus, different subsets of patients according to lymph node ratio (LNR) and node stations have been studied in an attempt to a more in-depth analysis of factors affecting survival.4, 5 One of the most controversial topics regarding these efforts remains the role and management of para-aortic ...
Primary endpoint: rate of tumor positive SLN at the time of biopsy. Secondary endpoints: Immune response in the SLN and peripheral blood 7-10 days post-biopsy, as measured by frequency and activation state of lymph node resident (LN...
BACKGROUND: We evaluated the prognostic significance and universal validity of the total number of evaluated lymph nodes (ELN), number of positive lymph nodes (PLN), lymph node ratio (LNR), and log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS) in a relatively large and homogenous cohort of surgically...
Material and Methods: Nodal positive patients (n = 86) were retrospectively stratified into two groups according to either number of positive nodes (>3 vs. 1-3) or lymph node ratio (LNR) (≥10 vs. <10% and >6.6 vs. ≤6.6%). Univariable log-rank tests and both univariable and ...
Evaluation on prognostic efficacy of lymph nodes ratio (LNR) and log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS) in complicated colon cancer: the first study in emergency surgeryColon cancer, Lymph nodes, LODDS, Survival analysisBackground: Lymph node involvement is one of the most important prognostic ...
Material and Methods: Nodal positive patients (n = 86) were retrospectively stratified into two groups according to either number of positive nodes (>3 vs. 1-3) or lymph node ratio (LNR) (>= 10 vs. 6.6 vs. = 10 versus 6.6 versus <= 6.6% (HR 2.79, 95% CI 1.23-6.37, p = ...
