BACKGROUND: Lymph node metastasis is the most important prognostic factor for colon
cancer patients. Survival is also related to the number and level of positive lymph nodes …

Background: The presence and number of nodal metastasis significantly impact colon
cancer prognosis. Similarly, the number of resected/evaluated nodes impacts staging …

Background This study was designed to assess the prognostic value of the ratio of
metastatic to resected lymph nodes (lymph node ratio [LNR]) in patients with node-positive …

BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer patients with lymph node metastasis constitute a
heterogeneous population with variable prognoses. In this study, my colleagues and I …

Objective: We examined the prognostic impact of lymph node ratio (relation of tumor-
infiltrated to resected lymph nodes) in comparison to the pN category and other prognostic …

Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of the lymph
node ratio between metastatic and examined lymph nodes (LNR) in patients with stage III …

Abstract Background/Aims: Because the TNM system disregards the number of lymph nodes
dissected and inter-individual differences exist in the number of regional lymph nodes, the …

Objective The objective of this study is to assess the value of metastatic lymph node ratio
(LNR) in predicting disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with stage III adenocarcinoma of …

Purpose In stage II colon cancer, patients with many retrieved lymph nodes (LNs) have been
reported to have better oncological outcomes. We tested the hypothesis that the greater …

Objectives To (i) show the outcome benefits of enlarged lymph nodes in node-positive colon
cancer cases, as it was shown previously in negative node cases;(ii) disprove the stage …
