Comparison of apparent diffusion coefficient values in sentinel lymph nodes versus primary tumors for gastric cancer N staging
Both primary tumor- and SLN-derived ADC values can effectively differentiate N stages among patients with GC. SLN-based ADC parameters exhibit superior diagnostic performance compared to primary tumor-based measurements in stratifying N-stage progression.
