Core Tip	There is an obvious correlation between lymph node metastases and tumor size, gross appearance, differentiation, pathological tumor depth and lymphatic invasion in male patients. Tumor differentiation and pathological tumor depth were independent risk factors for lymph node metastases in male patients. There was an obvious relationship between lymph node metastases and tumor size, gross appearance, differentiation, pathological tumor depth, lymphatic invasion at pN1 and pN2, and nerve invasion at pN3 in male patients. There were no significant differences in clinicopathological features or lymph node metastases between female and male patients.
