BACKGROUND: Lymph node metastases are the most important predictor of survival in non–
stage IV colon cancer. Recent studies of gastric cancer have shown a prognostic …

Abstract Background and Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic
usefulness of the lymph node ratio (LNR) in stage III colon cancer using the 7th edition of the …

Objective: We analyzed 3 previously identified cut-off values of lymph node ratios (0.17,
0.41, and 0.69) in a large population-based collective of patients with colorectal cancer for …

Background The objective of this study was to assess the value of metastatic lymph node
ratio in predicting prognosis of patients with stage III colorectal cancer. Methods From 2000 …

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 …

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

Aim Recent reports show that a positive metastatic to examined lymph nodes ratio (LNR)
has prognostic value in malignancies. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of …

Background Although nodal invasion represents one of the most powerful prognostic
indicators in colorectal cancer, marked heterogeneity exists within stage III patients …

Background Recent literature has shown that lymph node ratio (LNR) is superior to the
number of positive lymph nodes (pLNs) in predicting the prognosis in several malignances …

Background Lymph node ratio (LNR), the ratio of tumor-positive lymph nodes (+ LN) to the
total number of resected lymph nodes (rLN), predicts recurrence and survival in colon …
