BACKGROUND: The presence or absence of lymph node metastases is known to be an
important prognostic factor for patients with pancreatic cancer. Few studies have …

Survival after curative resection for pancreatic adenocarcinoma remains poor; an important
prognostic factor is lymph node (LN) status. Recent reports have established the number of …

BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the prognostic significance of the number of
metastatic lymph nodes and the ratio of metastatic nodes to total number of examined lymph …

Introduction Survival after surgery of pancreatic cancer is still poor, even after curative
resection. Some prognostic factors like the status of the resection margin, lymph node (LN) …

Background Based on data from other malignancies, the number of lymph nodes evaluated
and the ratio of metastatic to examined lymph nodes (LNR) may be important predictors of …

Background According to some studies, the number of lymph nodes with metastases in
relation to the total number of removed lymph nodes, the lymph node ratio (LNR), is one of …

Objective: To determine the prognostic value of PLN and LNR based on a large series with
standardized lymphadenectomy and pathological workup. Background: Lymph node (LN) …

Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the significance of pathologic nodal
assessment and extent of nodal metastases on patient outcome in patients with pancreatic …

Background The prognostic role of lymph node (LN) dissection in pancreatic head ductal
adenocarcinoma is still unclear. This study reappraised the value of the number of positive …

Objectives: The role of lymph node (LN) dissection for pancreatic cancer remains uncertain,
and guidelines for a minimum LN number have not been established. We hypothesized that …
