Examined lymph node counts affected the staging and survival in cervical cancer: a retrospective study using the SEER and Chinese cohort
An increased number of examined LNs significantly contributes to the detection of positive LNs and improved patient survival. For patients with claimed LN-negative and LN-positive disease, a minimum examination of 20 and 13 LNs, respectively, is recommended to ensure adequate LN evaluation. The LN positive ratio is a strong prognostic indicator in patients with LN-positive disease.
