Distance From the Root of the Splenic Artery to the Tumor as a Predictor of Para‐Aortic Lymph Node Metastasis in Left‐Sided Pancreatic Cancer
DST is a clinically useful metric for predicting PALN metastasis in left-sided PDAC. In patients with DST > 20 mm, the likelihood of PALN involvement appeared extremely low, suggesting that intraoperative lymph node sampling may be omitted in selected patients.
