Optimal lymph node yield for long-term survival in elderly patients with right-sided colon cancer: a large population-based cohort study
A higher LNY is associated with improved survival. Our findings robustly support 18 LNYs as the optimal threshold for assessing the quality of lymph node dissection and prognosis stratification in elderly patients with RSCC.
