Prognostic performance of examined lymph nodes, lymph node ratio, and positive lymph nodes in gastric cancer: a competing risk model study
In conclusion, ELN, LNR, and pN are all significant predictors of overall survival for GC. However, LNR demonstrates stronger robustness in predicting DSS than ELN and pN. The LNR may supplement the TNM staging system in identifying prognostic discrepancies.
