Clinical Significance of the Metastatic Lymph-Node Ratio in Rectal Cancer
cutoff point to obtain significance [10]. However, this approach has a limitation, the lack of a consensus on an appropriate cutoff value, which could results in a manipulation of the cutoff value without validation. The LNR was proposed to be superior to the absolute number of metastatic lymph node for prognostic differentiation in stage III colorectal cancer [11-13]. However, many studies on ...

متن کاملPrognostic Impact of the Metastatic Lymph Node Ratio on Survival in Rectal Cancer
PURPOSE Lymph-node metastasis is the most important predictor of survival in stage III rectal cancer. The number of metastatic lymph nodes may vary depending on the level of specimen dissection and the total number of lymph nodes harvested. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the lymph node ratio (LNR) is a prognostic parameter for patients with rectal cancer. METHODS A retrospectiv...
