. Lymph Node Ratio (LNR) is increasingly recognized as an important prognostic factor in various cancer types, with the potential to enhance patient stratification for intrahepatic (ICC) and extrahepatic (ECC) cholangiocarcinoma. The study aimed to assess the impact of LNR on survival in surgically resected patients with ICC and ECC.

- The study examined how the lymph node ratio (LNR) affects survival in patients with operable gallbladder adenocarcinoma.
- Researchers analyzed data from the National Cancer Database between 2004 and 2020, focusing on patients who had their primary tumor removed and adequate lymph nodes examined.
- Results indicated that patients with a lower LNR had significantly better overall survival rates, highlighting LNR as an important factor that may influence treatment choices for these patients.
Article Synopsis
- A national registry analysis was conducted to evaluate the impact of different surgical treatments on the survival of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma and liver-only metastases.
- Out of the 10,977 patients studied, those who received both primary tumor resection and liver metastasectomy had the longest median overall survival (OS) of 18.6 months compared to 6.5 months for those with no surgery.
- The results indicate that for selected patients with favorable conditions, surgical intervention may improve survival outcomes significantly compared to not receiving surgery or undergoing single treatment options.
