Article Synopsis
- 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.
Background: The role of metastasectomy in patients with liver-only metastases from gastric adenocarcinoma remains under investigation. Therefore, we performed a national registry analysis comparing surgical treatment options for patients with gastric adenocarcinoma and liver-only metastases.
Patients And Methods: In this retrospective National Cancer Database (2010-2019) study, adults (≥ 18 years) with gastric adenocarcinoma and liver-only metastases (no brain, bone, or lung metastases) were included.
This study aimed to evaluate the role of pathological features beyond tumor size in the risk of lymph node metastasis in appendiceal neuroendocrine tumors. Analyzing data from the national cancer database, we found that among 5353 cases, 18.8% had lymph node metastasis.
