Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a C-cell-derived epithelial neuroendocrine neoplasm.
With the exception of rare examples, most are well-differentiated epithelial neuroendocrine …

Background The lymph node ratio (LNR) is useful for predicting survival in patients with
small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The present study compared the effectiveness of the N stage …

Simple Summary The anatomical staging system for thyroid cancer only contains categories
for lymph node compartments. The metastatic lymph node ratio (LNR), which is the ratio of …

Purpose This study aimed to compare the prognostic value of multiple lymph node
metastasis (LNM) indicators and to develop optimal prognostic nomograms for bladder …

The risk of distant metastasis in medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) has not been well
studied. Additional evaluation of MTC metastatic risk can be helpful for improving the quality …

Background Lymph node ratio (LNR) and the log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS)
have been proposed as alternative lymph node (LN) classification schemes. Various cut-off …

Objective Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) patients with distant metastases frequently
present a relatively poor survival prognosis. Our main purpose was developing a nomogram …

Background: The current American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system (8th
edition) for medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) was originally extrapolated from the staging …

Background: Lymph node (LN) metastasis is considered one of the most important risk
factors affecting the prognosis of distal cholangiocarcinoma (DCC). This study aimed to …

Log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS) is an independent prognostic factor for patients
with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). However, the optimal cutoff value for LODDS …
