METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 777 advanced gastric cancer patients who had undergone curative gastrectomy at our hospital. RESULTS: The n ratio was significantly greater in cases with a large tumor, undifferentiated tumor, lymphatic vessel invasion, or blood vessel invasion. Furthermore, the n ratio was significantly correlated with the depth of invasion, level of lymph node metastasis, and number of lymph node metastases. The prognosis for gastric cancer patients correlated well with the n ratio. Multivariate analysis indicated that the n ratio, but not the number of lymph node metastases, was an independent prognostic indicator. Moreover, the n ratio was an independent prognostic factor in N1, N2, and N3 patients defined by the Japanese Classification of Gastric Cancer (JCGC). CONCLUSIONS: The n ratio is useful for evaluating the status of lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer. Therefore, the addition of the n ratio to the N (nodal) category defined by the JCGC may be a useful strategy in the N-staging classification of gastric cancer. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=3760 ------>authors2=None ------>authors3=None ------>authors4=None ------>authors5=None ------>authors6=None ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Shen KH, Wu CW, Lo SS, Hsieh MC, Hsia CY, Chiang SC, Lui WY. ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=None ------>publish_area=None ------>updateTitle=Prognostic significance of the ratio between metastatic and dissected lymph nodes (n ratio) in patients with advanced gastric cancer. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag= ------>submit_date= ------>country=None ------>no=1 ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho= ------>publish_year=1999 ------>submit_flag= ------>publish_month=None |
